Lobby Voice Chat Issue (PS5)

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Poison-Hungry421
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible. N/A
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)? Lifeline
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In the lobby (waiting area before the match)
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. In the lobby.
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Joining my friend's lobby
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? Ten.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 060923 21:00
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I can only see myself talking in the lobby and none of my friends can hear me until we start loading into a match in Apex. I have tried audio settings on the actual game, PS5, and my headset. Everything is as it should be, but for some reason no one can hear me in the lobby, they can hear each other except me. When we play everything is completely working except when we go back to the lobby.
What should be happening instead? We can communicate and hear each other in the lobby perfectly fine.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure, it is a game issue for sure though.

  • I play apex with a guy who has the same issue on ps5 I am on xbox and in the lobby there is no communication but can hear him just fine in game. if there is 3 of us in the party no one can hear him and he cannot hear us but as soon as the game is loaded everything works. is there a fix for this or just have to wait for next update?

  • this is still happening on ps5, friend is on ps4, and can't hear each other in the lobby. 2025

    @Goatedninja_YT hello friend, it's good to know it's not just me. I think it's strange that there's no mention of it anywhere. I'm sure it must be quite a small issue if there aren't more talking about it, either that or people are just not saying anything, which seems unlikely. I haven't been able to hear anyone for a couple months now.
