Audio Issues Hearing Other Players

[Ralphus]

I’m having a very specific audio issue, wondering if anyone else has had this.

If another player talks for more than maybe 5-6 seconds, the audio will begin cutting out and gradually degrade to the point I hear nothing from their mic. Then, if they stop and begin speaking again, I can hear them fine only for it to degrade slowly again as they keep talking. If other players speak in short, quick sentences I have no issue. This happens in both proximity and walkie talkie. Teammates report my own microphone has no such issue. This only happens with other players voice audio, nothing in game. I initially thought it was only one friend but it’s happening to everyone I play with now. No one else has this problem in a lobby but me, they can hear each other fine.

I’ve tried the usual verify game files and messing with some audio settings. I have turned down their voices and master volume too. Are there any ways to adjust the player audio quality?

I'm just having this issue where sometimes all the audio just cuts off completely for like 2 seconds from time to time

One of our mates has this issue too. Mic cuts out mid sentence constantly. Only happens in LC - the mic is fine when on Discord. Happens in both vanilla and modded. He uses AirPods as the mic. We haven't been able to find a fix for it.

My group has the same issue, both vanilla (4player unmodded) & modded (biggerlobby / morecompany).

I'm not sure if it is hardware related or not as one member of our group has it happen to them the most often, but it happens to us all eventually.

I think it may have something to do with wireless/bluetooth headsets.

I'm having a different kind of issue. I'm hearing things my team mates have said previously before. I can hear them live on discord, but in the game I'm hearing them have entire conversations of things we talked about previously. It's kinda creepy lol

Same! It happens to only one of our workmates, she uses logitech Bluetooth headset

I had the same issue with a friend, audio cutting after 5-6 seconds of him talking, then having to wait until he stopped talking in order to start hearing him again. This only happened in Lethal Company, on Discord and other games I was hearing him fine.
We found a solution: In Steam voice settings, Advanced Options, he disabled all 3 options (Echo cancellation, Noise cancellation, Automatic volume/gain control) and now it works perfectly. We just did a first session of more than one hour without a single issue. We also tried to restart the game and it still works. Before this it was impossible to understand a single sentence from him.
Hope this can help someone :)

It didn't help me, unfortunately.
