MSFS vPilot. Controller says all they hear is static

[Greg Fridman 0]

I am trying to setup vPilot for MSFS but the controller says when I talk all they hear is static. I am tuned to the proper frequency and the TX box lights up when I press my push to talk key. In Settings > Audio my microphone is listed but under Mic Volume the indicator bar does not show anything when I talk even if the volume is set to full. My mic works everywhere else in Windows. Both MSFS and vPilot are running as admin

Since the VATSIM audio is now range-based, it's possible that you were too far from the controller for them to hear you. Have you tried moving to another location and/or to an airport serviced by Ground/Tower? 

Of course, if you were at the controller's airport, this wouldn't be the issue.
