This issue is still occurring. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Platform: Xbox Series X
Issue: As a player my voice is not "broadcast" to my squad, preventing me from communicating. This is especially problematic during ranked play.
Duration: This issue started during the first half of Season 12 and has persisted through Season 13 despite receiving and installing multiple game updates.
Detailed issue and steps taken to resolve:
My voice is not audible to any of the players in my squad. The grayed-out speaker icon appears appropriately beside my name in a match. The icon does not "activate" and show as transmitting when I am talking. Voice chat works in other Xbox games and in an Xbox party "layered" over Apex Legends. This issue is unique to the Apex Legends game.
Settings: All of voice communication settings in Apex Legends are as "open" as possible. All voice communication settings at the Xbox-level are wide open, with all permissions granted.
Hardware: This problem persists across three different microphones and three different Xbox controllers. This includes the Xbox Wireless Headset (connecting through Bluetooth), the wired Xbox Wired Headset, and the included voice-chat only headset.
Connection: Resetting the consoles MAC address does not remedy the issue. The NAT is "Open," and there are no connection issues or potential hiccups identified by the Xbox connection configuration test.
Cache and hard reset: Factory resetting the Xbox Series X to clear the hard drive and cache and reinstalling Apex Legends does not remedy the issue.
Any advice or guidance would be appreciated. At this point in time I cannot effectively participated in Ranked matches, and I am less inclined to purchase each season's Battle Pass. I play Apex Legends less often due to this issue.
