Microphone not working at all within VRChat for my new Meta Quest 3s. It’s able to work in Discord on the headset but won’t operate at all within VRChat.

Things I’ve tried:  
1.Restarted the headset  
2. Changed the Microphone permissions in the privacy settings (Vrchat is allowed to use my microphone)  
3.Microphone threshold is all the way to the right

Have no clue what else to do, I’ve tried almost everything online.

I’m currently experiencing the same issue, my 3s mic does not want to work anymore with my headset, and it seem to have done it after a software update
