I can't hear other people (PC)

  • Hello,
    I can't hear other people in game. I tried also with push to talk and directional talk, but I can't hear no one. I can see little baloons, but no voice.
    What can I do?

  • @marichella Ahoy there!

    Have you taken a look at the following guide? It has some great troubleshooting steps you can take.

  • Doubloons? Sorry bad joke.

  • @musicmee oh, thanks! I didn't see it! I'll try and if I'll have again problems, I'll write there :)

  • @marichella Ok :) Let us know how you get on :) There are other steps you could take but this article does seem to fix most issues.

  • Check your sound settings are good, maybe test with Skype to confirm.
    Volume turned down? Always worth a check haha

  • I've tried like 8 crews now, noone hears me, noone seems to be using the ingame voice chat, and surprisingly noone even answered my text chats.. Annoying, so I don't know if my mic is working since I don't get any response, and noone else seems to be talking..

  • @musicmee My mic works on everything else. I have tried all the things on the linked post and still no-one can hear me. I have everything set to 'on'.

    I saw on Reddit that setting the "Headphones" option to speakers sometimes fixes it but it didn't work for me. It's weird as it worked fine in the betas
    .

    Did you ever figure this out? I was fine in the beta as well but I'm having the exact same issue. I can see when people are talking from the icon but I don't hear anything. Mic is set to allow for SoT and works with everything else.

    I fixed it - posted in these forums and here:

    Hope it helps :)

  • @musicmee So i tried using the site to fix the problem of not being able to hear others and them not being able to hear me but it still is a problem

  • Make sure to go to your privacy settings of Xbox itself on xbox.com look for a line saying communication to others and from others somewhere in there make sure its set to everyone.

    It should be in the section of what others can do.

    Hopefully this fixes it atleast for some amongst you.

  • @plusebo

    So the specify its the privacy settings of your xbox account itself that also might be the isseu not only your windows 10 so by either using the xbox app and going to the website that way or just going to the xbox privacy website itself take a gander there.

  • @Musicmee My privacy setting is on and my mic works for my crew and I can hear my crew, but I cannot hear other players who aren't in my crew.
    Help pls

  • @plusebo This is what helped me. I have just dealt with it since game started. Thanks! This is so much better.
