Voice chat still broken and it's nearly march.
Have there been any fixes regarding voice chat in this game?

I have had an issue where my mic refuses to work in game (works every other place)
I also have a 50/50 shot at being able to hear lobby chat too.

are there any fixes? Its been months and it's just a pure disappointment.

^and yes I have gone through every audio related setting about 100000 times, test microphone does nothing as well. Bar goes to half and then just does not work.

I reinstalled because of the new season, and I face the same problem, in discord it works normally but in the game it doesn't
I had a feeling the audio was bugged. I can only hear comms when I mute my mic in game using their open mic settings, but when I unmute (I hear no comms).

I managed to solve it, apparently the mic mute was activated, try to press F9 and F10 and during the game and do the test

I'm sure you've done this, but just in case....
In game menu, click the headset icon. From the list of parties, select lobby, and then select F9 to join. Make sure you don't have your mic muted. Double check in Windows audio and settings that Steam/COD app gets control of your mic, and make sure your headset's microphone is set as default recording device. Select the listen option in windows audio settings to verify you hear your voice. Do the same thing in the game audio options for microphone test.

my mic works in discord and every other game such as cs or the old mw2 2009. Whenever I leave the lobby party and test microphone it works in settings. If I rejoin the party the bar just goes to half and doesnt move

It could possibly be a NAT type issue. In game settings, "network", what does it show as your NAT type? Ideally, you want to be "Open", but that's only possible on many PCs by exposing your PC through your router's firewall. Mine is in DMZ to get "Open". A Moderate or Strict NAT can limit voice chat and also your matchmaking pool.

I'd suggest looking hard through your windows audio settings. Use the classic dialog boxes, and check all tabs. There's more options there than the mobile style settings app. My friend had a similar issue. His problem was that his microphone was not set as the default recording device, and it switched on him every time he tried game chat. Discord worked though.

Ive spent hours trying to troubleshoot this and ive been through all the windows settings. Mic works on literally everything else but cod. Itll work in cod if I disconnect from the lobby voice group and im in no voice channel at all but nothing works

I don't know what your issue could be then. The only other thing that comes to mind is perhaps you have a comms ban.

I submitted a ticket to cod support, I dont have much faith but oh well
