Xbox game chat bug post update 3/29/2022

Apex game chat is completely broken for me. Most of the time people in my apex game chat can't hear me at all, and when they can hear me, they say my voice sounds distant and keeps cutting in and out. Voice chat works perfectly in Xbox party chat, just not in Apex game chat. I can't play with my friend who plays on ps4 because we can't communicate. The in-game mic icon doesn't light up at all when I say anything. I've tried every possible solution that I could find for this issue to no avail. My headset is the official Xbox headset and it's brand new, as well as my system. It works for other games in-game chat, but not Apex Legends.

Things I tried -

-Hard reset of all my hardware (Xbox and headset).

-Alternating MAC address

-Port forwarding the recommended ports for Apex Legends on Xbox Series X on my router

-Changing DNS settings

-Ensuring NAT Type is OPEN

-Deleted saved data for Apex from console & restarted Apex

-Checked for updates for my controller and my headset

-Re-installing Apex Legends

-Creating a different Xbox account and EA account

-Numerous other headsets

-Setting a static IP for Xbox Series X

-Made sure my mic works everywhere else (it does)

-Made sure voice-to-text is off

-Toggled voice chat off and back on in Apex settings

-Factory reset Xbox Series X and re-installed Apex legends (again)

-Performed hard reset on my router/modem multiple times

Nothing worked. And I've been trying desperately just to be able to play with my cross-platform friend.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
