Xbox Voice Chat

  • I can't get my microphone to work in game. I checked under privacy settings to enable microphone but sea of thieves is not listed on the app list. I can use my mic fine in xbox party chat and the the circle around my name illuminates. But not in game.

    Any ideas?

  • @treefittymonsta I am on Xbox One S.

  • @treefittymonsta i am testing the voice chat
    my group mate in game has a slash threw their icon when they attempt speak? why can't i hear them?

  • I dont often use a mic when I am on console so for once I am actually...unsure... lol! Usually, since I play on both (much more on PC) I can help with better answers. I can say this... you should have to actually change from party to in game chat. On Console that is a ridiculous factor, but you can't simulcast whereas on PC it's a PTT button.

  • I think its a privacy setting... cause i was having the same issue... but the xbox app isn't intuitive at all and I can't find the privacy setting through the Xbox One S interface.

    Sea of Thieves isn't even on the app privacy portion of privacy and security. lol so how can i enable the microphone for it. The only things on the app list is Microsoft Edge and a windows icon.

  • The headset and microphone work great in party chat. but not in-game which makes me think its a sea of thieves issue.

  • Lol people keep spawning on the outpost we're at killing us while we trouble shoot lol

  • and i can hear them fine on PC but not on my xbox lol

  • Ok I just got the xbox chat to work.... but the microphone is not plugged in

    I can hear myself in the game but I have no microphone plugged into the controller???????? This is weird.

  • Does the Xbox controller have an internal microphone?

  • @treefittymonsta you know that on xbox you can only be in party or in game chat. You can't do both. Make sure you aren't in a party of 1.

    We figured it out. If u start the game with mic plugged into the controller it doesn't work. But if if plug in after you're in game it works...

    Yah we figured out also that if ur in party chat. U can't speak in game lol.

    The Xbox app is garbage. I wish Microsoft could fix it. It's a buggy mess on Xbox and especially PC.

    You also can't leave party chat to enter game chat. Which is really annoying if you're added to a party that later leaves the game.

  • Ok i was having same problems but I think I can fix it now will see if it works 12/30/19 that is the date when this was posted

  • Ahoy maties!
