My mic doesn’t not work on apex (Xbox)

My mic works fine in party chat but when I’m on apex no one can hear me and I can’t hear anyone. I tried using 2 different mics neither work.

    @Shogun10101Does the mic work without issues on your xbox outside Apex?
    Try to clear your MAC adress
    Go to Settings> All settings> Network> Network settings
    In here press on advanced settings and alternate MAC adress option, press on 'clear' and Restart your xbox when prompt
    Do you have any usb plugged into the xbox?
    remove them and to a power cycle and see if this fixes the issue.

  • My mic doesn’t show up in game chat and doesnt work on apex. Works fine n party chat and works fine on other games. MAC address clears only are needed if you’ve actually chosen an alternate mac address. So what is the problem and what can be done. I feel like this is all on apex side because it worked perfectly fine earlier in the day and then just stopped working after I came out of a recent party chat. It has now not been working for hours. I’ve hard restart the console, unplugged and plugged in the headset, turned the mic off and back on, disabled then re enabled game chat in settings. Ive done everything I can think of and it still refuses to work in Apex game chat. 

  • hello there I'm having the same problem I've tried the settings and everything but it doesn't seem to work this game definitely has a bug and I'm tryingto figure out why my mic doesn't work

    Have the same issue unfortunately respawn and ea don't care about their player base. Like why we got to clear our Mac address for a chance to make our mic work. Like why not just fix the 7 season old bug already. Of course they just gonna play dumb. Try to act ignorant to the thread even

  • I BELIEVE I HAVE A SOLUTION. I unplugged my mic and started Apex. I could hear my teammates but couldn’t speak and the glitch returned to normal when I started a game. So 1. Start Apex with mic unplugged. 2. Close Apex with the three lines button (settings button) while on home screen. 3. Restart console. This fixed it and idk how but it’s a life saver 

  • I have the same issue.  As soon as my game updated with the last update my mic stopped working. It says my mic is on but does not light up when I talk.  Nor can anyone hear me. I hear others talking. People in my lobby can hear me but cannot in game.  Party works fine.  All other games work fine. 

    I have cycled my xbox.  I have cleared my MAC address(this usually fixes the issue when it appears you are in a party but you aren’t).  I have unplugged my xbox.  I have unplugged my USB.  I have tried three headsets.  I have tried multiple EA accounts.  I uninstalled/reinstalled. ApexNothing works.  I play Apex daily and have not had an issue until the update.  Im at a loss what to do next. 

  • Same problem with me I have an Xbox series X and a turtle beach stealth generation 2 

  • @EzyHawk Ive had the same issue as that person except that didn't work for me. Any other suggestions? I've done practically everything.
