Game chat

Hello!

I have had no issues with my game chat up until around a week ago, my microphone is not working in game chat, however it is working OK in party chat. I've noticed the sound waves are not coming off the microphone symbol next to my name. Any solutions to fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

  • Hey @Mace211,

    If you are using a PC it could be microphone settings, because it did that to me before and it turned out it was my microphone settings. So just go to settings microphone and just change the settings.

  • Exact same setup.

    A50 Headset 

    Elite 2 Controller 

    My teammates either cannot hear me at all or tell me my mic is trash. Party chat works, but no game chat. Also once I Iaunch Apex, if I try to send a friend a voice message to preview if my mic is working then I can no longer hear the playback of the message. If I force close Apex or launch another game the issue goes away.

    I notice it more when using the USB for chat and the optical out of my LG CX for game audio. If I use just the USB people can hear me but say I sound far away and echo a lot.

    I got a new Anker USB cable, updated to latest firmware and just opened a ton of recommended ports on my router, but it sounds like I'm not the only one with this problem

  • I have the same setup, but have tried multiple headsets. How has this not been addressed yet. They have released multiple updates and still no fix? I have tried doing a clean install as well with no luck fixing the Mic cutting in and out and not getting any bars when speaking into the mic, it remains greyed out.
