I can't hear any other players talking since the latest "bug fix".

I can hear the games sounds, but no people. My sound is fine on every other Steam game and everything else on my Mac.

enable voice chat or input /output volume in Menu- config - Sound ?`or choose the audiochip used ? In windows you need to allow mic for tts in security config . My first thoughts to this ;)
in the most cases it is just ingame deactivated .

a lot of players have abandoned TTS voice due to all kinds of issues - the sooner you do the better everyone will be for it.

agreed, but probably p2p or some TTS module somewhere is being blocked again by Defender. That happens when TTS or Defender updates, rather annoying...

I have a Mac so there is no Windows setting or Defender. The problem is not my mic because it worked fine before. It does the same thing whether I use my USB mic or the built in mic in my Mac. My microphone and speakers work fine on every other program on my computer and everything else on Steam.

I have changed the audio settings within the game to every possible setting. I have reinstalled the game and run a validation on the program. Nothing works.

It's probably not your mic. Go into System Preferences, disable the OSX Firewall, then test voice chat at a friend's table again. Mac firewall is very obscure about what it's doing and why. If I recall there's a way to greenlight specific applications/ports to bypass its blockall policy.

sidenote: Because Steam/TTS uses p2p, which is a protocol associated with illegal file sharing and many other shady things, AV/Firewalls can get confused when an application attempts to use it, even if you're using Steam for other things just fine...

[krinibar]

Thanks for your help. I checked and the firewall is already off.

Are Steam's ports open on your router? do you use university/business internet? do you live in a region that throttles the p2p protocol?

[krinibar]

1. I don't know how to check on that. 2. No. 3. I doubt it. I live in Silicon Valley.

All I can ask is if you could create a Player.log file by putting -log in the launch options, it might hint at what is breaking.
Host it on dpaste or pastebin or whatever and link here.
I can't really walk you through router/port stuff on here, but if it comes to that there's plenty out there to help, including in the TTS support faq.
For some reason every now and again, usually timed with a big OSX update (I know there was a just a huge one as I installed it on my dad's iMac), this game just breaks for OSX. Like it will stop working for a while and then just start working again. If it's about that than all you can do is cling to the mac gamer forums for answers and wait it out.

[krinibar]

I appreciate your help, but I have no idea how to do those things or what that software is.

welp.
