It can certainly be an inconvenience to encounter issues with the chat working whilst in a game such as sorrowfully Warhammer 40,000: Darktide that requires a lot of coordination. Depending on what the root cause of the issue is, there are some possible solutions. Here is a couple of ways that may solve the problem:
1. Adjust your audio level settings:
Make sure that you have set both the input and output devices accordingly: input is microphone, output is headset/speakers.

In-Game Settings:

If there are any difficulties with the key binding, try using the voice activated chat mode as the alternative.
3. Microphone Access (Windows settings):
In Windows 10/11, there is a problem where applications/ apps are sometimes blocked from accessing the microphone. To resolve this problem:
Go to Settings, then Privacy Then Settings and select microphone under privacies.
Under Audio, ensure the toggle that says “Allow apps to access your microphone” is enabled.
Darktide or its launcher (Steam/Microsoft Store) should be present in the list so check if they have the right to use a microphone.
