Voice chat is disabled / not working

[gee wilickers]

I was wondering if this is for a time or should i re install the game? I cant communicate or hear anyone in game. why is this happening?

Here are a few things i tried and did not work. I thought i would post them since there are ZERO Steam Support Moderators. Just a bunch of people posting issues with ZERO problem solving from Steam. It's quite pathedic that a multi-billion dollar company can't cordinate proplems of games that they are supporting. Next step wil be asking for a refund since they can't fix the issues at hand.

Here's another thread with hundreds of people having the same PUBG voice chat issue!

Another fix if that one doesn't work:

Go to your steam folder wherever you install your games to
Steamapps\Common\PUBG\TslGame\Binaries\ThirdParty\Vivox

Delete everything in the Vivox folder, then right click your game in the steam library, go to
Properties, then the Local Files tab, then Verify Integrity and wait.


Hope this helps out a few people. Did not work for me. I even changed my modem settings to allow SIP/ALG through. still nothing

Earlier today I experienced a game, where me and my teammate couldn't communicate with eachother at all. Like the chat was still disabled, after the 1 minut mark! Suddenly it started worked, midgame

WHA-WHAAAT? How can they "not fix this right now"? WTF, it just appeared out of nowhere and I'm betting it affected EVERYONE playing today. Just amazed and confused how this issue suddenly appeared and how it took BH by surprise. This company has a great product but it is being severly hampered by their lack of vision, leadership and management at the top of this project.

Are you using Push to talk.
For me it is the culprit, set it to always seem to fix it

Hi!

I had a lot of trouble with the voice chat. First I thought the problem was my new wireless headset arctis 7 (2019) - well it was working fine, so:

Here's what needs to be done

1. Check the usual shortcut keys ctrl+t etc.
2. Check that your headset works in some other program (to verify it is not hardware error)
3. Assign your microphone as the windows communication device (win7, win 10 might have some other privacy settings)
-make sure that in microphone settings "no single program can take control over mic" or something similar
4. Check that your mic is working in steam. Open steam friends list, next to your avatar there is the settings "gear", and from there go to voice settings. Make sure the mic is working.
5. Open PUBG. go to sound settings, and make sure that the mic is working. (indicated by green meter bars). Speak to your mic, and you should see the bar moving!
6. If the bar doesn't move >
7. Open PUBG test server mode. Go to voice settings. Check if the mic is working and green bars are moving? For some reason, my mic wasn't recognized in the regular PUBG server, but after opening the game in TEST server mode, everything seems to work now.
8. Go back to PUBG - everything should work now.

If this does not help, you are in deep ----

I can talk with squad and duo, but never headr anything in solos.. despite that channel all is selected

[morry]

hm i just started a game with a friend and voice chat worked properly, pretty weird, when i tried random squads i couldnt even see sound icon when was talking

[MrDale]

Mine is up and running, after i submitted a ticket they got back to me within 24 hours with a patch at thier end. Just had to reboot my modem and it took.

[Copperhead]

Im having the same problem i cant talk or hear anybody speak at all for the last couple days, i've also changed all the settings with no luck. this happened a month or two ago also but it was a very short amount of time it was down. I thought it would get fixed in the last update 1/1/19 but it isn't fixed yet

no nothing. My mic and head set in general work on all games and apps except pubg? i started gforce experience and it said nothing of updating drivers. (not sure if sound drivers would be updated through there). im hoping there is a patch or a fix for my problem. i only downloaded the game this morning.

I have the same problem. Help!!

you probably need to select a recording device in the settings..

[ermm]

slect it in the settings as a recording device....

I have the same problem. It’s 100% on pubg’s side as I’ve done literally everything imaginable to get my mic to work but it works on every other application. The in game voice icon that shows when yourself or others are talking doesn’t even show up. Fix your ♥♥♥♥ game blueballs entertainment
