Game sound mutes when other people talk

[samaritan]

Every time people activate their voice chat in gta:online my game sound gets muted completely, neither can i hear the others.

Any idea what this is?

and yes they do hear me.

Check the voice chat options... sfx volume/etc.

Also got this device as my microphone, and people hear me so thats not a problem.

Microphone ain't an issue, the thing is that when other talk my whole game just has no sound anymore..... never happened on my R* GTA account, it all started happening on my steam GTA account. (i have both installed)

Voice chat options - the sound fx and music volume are set higher than 0?
You can set it ingame for it to turn those down when others talk.
(though...you should be able to hear them... after re-reading -.-)
Do you have any other games with voice chat to test with? Same thing?

You can also do it in windows - control panel, sound, communications... do nothing.
(if you haven't checked there already)

Done anything else with entire removal/reinstall of audio drivers/etc?
Running any additional voicecomm software in the background, or steams?

Hell, you could copy the settings files from the retail install (assuming the retail version voice comms work still/properly) and put them in the steam install.
my docs / rockstar games / gtav / profile / <retail profile> to the steam's acc <profile>
(or just pc_settings.bin and cfg.dat from the above location - the rest are saves/etc)
