one-sided voice chat

people can hear me, but i can't hear anyone.

  • i have voice chat volume set to max (all other sounds in the game i can hear just fine)
  • my mic is being picked up and i can talk to people
  • when i turn on voice-to-text (in accessibility options) i can see (that is: read) what people are saying, but i can't hear it - this is also how i know they can hear me, because ive had them respond to my questions. yet i can't hear them
  • i can see the icons for voice chat appear (so its being used by both me and other people)
  • i have joined the voice chat (i opted in)
  • my friends have voice chat working just fine

not sure what i'm doing wrong, so wondering if this is a bug

  • solution: the game's main audio was being streamed to the right audio device, but somehow the voip was being played on a different audio device so i went ahead and disabled all of them but the one i want to be used, which fixed it!

  • some extra info: ive already tried reinstalling the game, switching audio devices and triple checked all my settings. nothings worked so far

  • Hello, I have the same problem.  I have read the solution, but don't know what you mean/ how to do it. Could you help? Thanks in advance.

    sure! i fixed it by disabling all my audio devices in my windows audio settings except for the one in use (for example your speakers or whatever), then i rebooted the game and voila

    i had a bunch of enabled but unused audio outputs (like my monitor audio and even my mic has an output) so the game was selecting one of those for voice chat output instead of the main one, so i couldnt hear anything

  • I see what you mean, but how do you do that? Sorry for the questions, as I have never done anything like this before. Thanks.
