My Voice Chat isn't working on PC

so where is the actual fix for this problem? do these devs even care that so many people have issues with their game? voice chat doesn't work, alt tab disconnects you from the game server, etc etc etc....this game is just riddled with issues all stemming from the fact it's running as a stupid Microsoft app. if this game were to simply be normal like every other game out there and run on its own, we wouldn't have these ridiculous issues. it's pretty sad when this game could have so much potential.

@craqerjaq Ahoy!

There is an extensive guide here if you are facing this issue...

Support - Windows Audio & Chat

I've already done this...

Not sure if anyone is still having this issue as I know it's an old thread but by Google Search.. I'm hoping this message finds you well. I was having this issue too even after following everything on the guide above. But I finally got it...

• Go to the speaker on the right hand corner of Windows 10.
• Right Click on Playback and Recording Devices.
• Right Click on Both Headset and Mic that you're using in-game.. and select Make Default COMMUNICATIONS Device (or something along those lines)
• Also make sure that when you go to Xbox App go to Settings and make sure on the option where you choose your microphone and speaker make sure that the same devices you selected as your default communications device are chosen on the XBox Live App.

I REALLY HOPE this helps. I was frustrated and annoyed too and this ended up working fine. \

@geministatic i appreciate the try! but unfortunately this hasnt solved it for me.... I have perfect game audio, but no voice audio. Intrestingly, when I push to talk, nobody can hear me, and nobody even sees the icon above my head.

Like Monkeychow suggested, i am using a USB mic, and like CraqerJaq suggested i suspect it's a function of running within microsoft's weird framework.

For One, the option menu's selection of whether Voice goes through Speakers or headphones doesn't make sense on a PC... I get that you need to make options menus simple for dumb xbox controllers, but on a PC, go ahead and add a drop down to select specific audio outputs, and give me an effing test button. solved.

Really freaking upsetting, it absolutely ruins the game...

Hit or miss for me. I had one session where it worked perfectly, and not one since.

I open the game on my PC but it is simply loading a black screen on the startup and gradually crashing itself automatically in few seconds. Any solution? Showbox Mobdro Tutuapp

@thejeffjohnson Awww dude that is frustrating. I'll see if I can musk up anymore information I would wish this upon my worst enemy but lets try to do something really quick.. try to Windows + G and Record and use talk into the mic to see if it at least records sound when recording video.

Throwing my name in here as my microphone is also not working in-game but works literally everywhere else and it is also a USB headset.

Same issue. It works if I join a party in the xbox app, but I've only heard one person in game the entire time, and that was just a whisper of sound, which I only noticed because I saw the icon above his head.

Same here. Tried everything, my NAT is open my sound setting are all correct. Never heard anyone and can't get anyone to respond to me speaking.

Utterly ruins the game. Only way I can play is with friends through Discord, alone or with mute randoms. Boring as hell in the later two :(

@destinedrhino73 this game’s voice chat is garbage, my friend has the same problem as you’re experiencing..

Same here with me. I have switched my default three times to other mids or headphones or speakers and I can't hear Enemies, but I can hear my crew. #frustrated

I was running into this issue as well.

There is a lot of different things that not setup correctly on my computer that was causing it. This had to do with me changing the default setting of many different default windows services and drivers.

after i had restored everything to their default settings, My NAT type went from moderate to open. I was still having problems though. I thought that maybe i needed to adjust my audio settings at the driver level so i alt tabbed to windows and i saw a prompt i had not seen before.

My virus Scanner, Kaspersky, was detecting the audio service for SoT Crossplay and a possible malicious network traffic. It blocked the network traffic for the service for this reason. After adding to the exceptions list, and alt tabbing back into SoT, all SoT party chat audio was restored.

This information may not help everyone.

Well using Kaspersky is a huge mistake in general lol. Besides this issue has nothing to do with your pc settings. Its an error in the game or with xbox app.
