After much back and forth with Aspyr, here is the email I got this morning:

Thanks so much for your input and patience so far.  A test case has been submitted and completed by our QA team with the following results:
This issue has been confirmed on multiple games that support VOIP chat on macOS 10.14.  We'll be investigating the issue with Apple but don't have any eta for if/when an update will be available.
Aspyr Technical Support
 

Gee, thanks.
I miss having a mic in freezetag very much.
I apologize in advance for overusing the built in sound commands.

Confirmed, doesn't work for me as well.  Even if I disable SIP.   Assume that they'll be working on that for the 64-bit version if it ever arrives so it will properly allow you to grant access to the microphone in the Security & Privacy System Preference Pane:

Interestingly enough, I didn't think it was a problem on my Mac Pro, but @piglo is who uses that and he doesn't use the mic to oink much, but it's working there....:

10.14.1:

Pretty sure this is the MacApp store version, what version are you using @Noumenon?

I am using the Steam version.
But if you're saying there's a chance the Mac App Store version might work, it would be worth it to repurchase...

Let me do some further research,  I know I have the mac App store version on the laptop as well, and that one is where I had it not work, even after disabling SIP and deleting and re-downloading.  Don't know what is going on with this yet.  The Mac Pro is pretty old, it's a 4,1 from 2009 modded to a 5,1 and had dual Xeon 2.93 GHz quad core chips added in, started life with my stable on MacOS 10.9? and it's been upgraded and updated since then, might have something to do with it.  I'll probably be able to find out more this week, but it's not JUST the mac app store thing that is at work here if at all.  

What version of Mac are you using?

That's close to my 2016 MBP, which it is not working on, let me try my wife's 2013 air and I'll see what it does.

Nope doesn't work on her MBA 6,2 either.  Did you upgrade directly to 10.14.1 or start with 10.14 and upgrade to .1?

Ok so you can thank me later.. So while holding Command + Option open Call of duty. 

Then remove option full screen.

Then you will be promoted to allow the mic. imageproxy.php?img=&key=42ce854d8954cc13Hit ok to that.

I already have COD4, COD4 Multiplayer and Steam app allowed microphone access system prefs security.
Still doesn't work ( even after reinstalling the app and re-allowing access ). ?
Send beer whiskey plz....

mic is on in game ( options > voice chat ) but levels bar doesn’t show anything.

tried built-in macbook mic, five different wired headset mics and three different bluetooth headset mics.

each time i make sure in sys prefs > sound that i have the mic selected for input and level bars are strong.

Make sure too that you’re on 12.14.1 too. Happy to do a teamviewer with you to have a look. I’m sure it’s something simple.

few other things to try if you haven't already:

1) Zap the Pram and reset SMC: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/reset-macs-smc-pram/

2) Reset the Mic security settings: in terminal do an "sudo tccutil reset Microphone"

I had already zapped PRAM, but did the SMC too...no go.
Did the mic reset, it cleared out the security list, re-granted access to COD4...no go.

1) Setup another user profile and login and try that?

2) Have a large enough external HD or flash drive to install the OS on and try booting from that? (32gb+)

Just bought a new iMac Pro running Mojave, having the same issue with the App Store version. Did anyone else get Fancytricks' Fancy Trick to work? I would hate to deprive everyone of my constant bitching.

I could always switch to Windows, but then I'd have to find a way to tell my parents I'm gay. I'd rather just keep on using my Mac and liking chicks. BTW, I think I just heard your Mom calling you up for dinner. :)
