    None of those work. I've tried literally everything, different controllers, headsets, updating, rolling them back etc.

    If im in Apex and send a message to a friend on my friend list, i see the wav form but cant hear anything... if i leave game chat while Apex is still open and move to party chat, I can then hear the message I just recorded just fine. 

    Basically whatever Apex is doing when I'm in "game chat" or the game is running, it shuts my headsets audio off so I cant hear anything. Once I go back to party chat everything is perfectly fine. Mic audio is up, everything is fine on my end.

    this has been 3 months now.

    While we have had general assertions that TS steps have been taken, I just want to clarify that checking for NAT issues is something not to be skipped over. 

    Past this wonder on some of the Xbox settings, can I check you've reset the audio settigns, you'll find the option in a menu at  Settings > General > Volume & audio output. 

    I also wonder if setting up your audio again will help, and/or what your chat mixer settings are. I also wonder if audio is set to come out of headset, speakers, or both. 

    Also I wonder, it's a bit of a long shot, but if you have access to a friend's system, can you play a match on that -or even just try opening the message like in your test- and see if you still get the same issues. 


  • It is worth noting that this bug has been resolved as part of the Season 14 patch, which contained improvements and fixes to VoIP for Xbox users.
