csgo-osx-linux Game freeze while using mic

During game play if you use your mic, you have a random chance that it freezes the CSGO process. Looking at the process tree, the csgo_linux64 process seems to fork itself and create another copy which causes the freeze. If you end the newly created process, the game will unfreeze and you can still play normal.

That last process is always the one that's created (not the grep, that's how I'm identifying and killing it). I've had to create a small script that I can quickly hotkey to get back into the game fast enough to not DC. Not fun.

I'm running Debian 8.

I have another issue related to push-to-talk and I found interesting stuff regarding it, so in your case I am interested in the following:

What's m_rawinput set to? If it's set to 1 and you set it 0 is the bug still present and does it change in any way (the bug)? Same question if it's set to 0 and you change it to 1.

I've found issue #500 and there are 3 interesting things there:

Having pavucontrol running in background fixes the issue.
Typing manually +voicerecord in the console doesn't introduce the issue
There is a fix suggested there:

alias voiceToggleOn "+voicerecord; alias voiceToggle voiceToggleOff" alias voiceToggleOff "-voicerecord; alias voiceToggle voiceToggleOn" alias voiceToggle voiceToggleOn bind "" "voiceToggle"

Then pressing the push-to-talk button to start your microphone and then pressing it again to stop it (this doesn't fix it for me).

Maybe try those stuff and comment here the results?

Recently there was a problem with sound stuttering lagging due to an update where the revolver and negev was bring back to competitive, fixes with HRTF and so on. The temporal fix was to set snd_mixahead from value 0.05 to 0.1. Later they fixed this with an update of 15 and 10mb.

The problem with sound stuttering and lagging was fixed for the mayority of users on gnu/linux and mac.

Now i have noticed that the function Push To Talk in game and crashing its FIXED for me also.

Using the temporal fix to the PTT problem>

#alias voiceToggleOn "+voicerecord; alias voiceToggle voiceToggleOff" #alias voiceToggleOff "-voicerecord; alias voiceToggle voiceToggleOn" #alias voiceToggle voiceToggleOn

#bind "MOUSE5" "voiceToggle"

also crashed my CSGO, now it also works flawlessly.

Edit. Again , PTT crashing the game.

Issue still present when using microphone on Ubuntu 19.10

This problem still seems to exsist, for me at least... ElementaryOS 5.1.2 Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS, 4.15.0-88 kernel. Using Pulseaudio (needed for my sound card to work flawlessly)
