Re: cant hear voice chat at all

@anpangcontractor nope, all audio input/output is set to my headset. i honestly cant figure out how this is even possible, every other sound works, but nobody can hear me speaking and i cant hear anyone speaking despite the game displaying the voice icon

    @Mysterymaster_OP If you are on windows 10, can you open 

    Windows Settings > Devices > Sound Settings > Manage Sound Devices

    What is the list of output devices you currently have?  If there is more than one output, disable everything except the headset you're trying to put it to.  Again, the game does not take what your default setting is set to so it does not matter what you set your default to.

    @anpangcontractor This fixed it.
    Is there a way to set the game to use headset? i dont want to have to disable speakers permanently just to be able to hear ingame voice chat

    @Mysterymaster_OP Looks like I was wrong on my previous statement about it not looking at default device - it seems to go to your 'default communications device'.

    Navigate to Windows Settings > Devices > Sound Settings > Sound Control Panel

    Under the playback tab, right click your headset and set it to default communications device.
