PS4 no team chat

Am playing on PS4. Whatever I try I can´t hear anybody in game. Wireless/wired headset, plugged into PS4 USB or into different controllers.

Sometimes I see another player with a loudspeaker, but still can´t hear him - however I can switch to display chat as text and I see some text of the stuff said players seem to say.

I think I tried a lot in PS4 / Apex properties, restarted router etc etc

Any clue?

    In-game audio (pick up group, not premade group in lobbys). Can hear all other game sounds perfectly, just not my team.

    @Inxsu Can you try adjusting your chat volume and other audio volumes to see if anything comes through at a certain setting?

    Hm difficult to answer.

    In my Settings I have:

    • Master Volume
    • Sound Effects Volume
    • Dialogue Volume
    • Music Volume
    • Lobby Music Volume
    • Subtitles
    • Convert Incoming Voice to Chat Text

    I have first 3 on 100%, Music volume 30%, Convert Incoming Voice to chat is off (sometimes I stumble upon a player seeming to use coice chat, when I toggle voice to chat I can see some difficult to understand stuff).

    You ask "Can you try adjusting your chat volume and other audio volumes to see if anything comes through at a certain setting? " - Where should I try that?

    Now what eludes me is that for me my speaker icon never shows up beside my name. When I took a break from Apex a year or so ago all worked fine.

    Installed patch 1.63, didnt help.

    Opening ports TCP 80, 776,3478,3479,3480 and UDP 3478, 3479 did not help either.

  • Solved.

    Found a toggle "Disable game chat audio" that was activated. Was probably me, human error.

    Sorry for the fuzz.
