Spirit Box Won't Work in Training

[GodMode MrE]

I tried to run through training to get the rundown on the new gear, but I can't get past the spirit box room. I get red lights all day on the spirit box so I know it hears me, but the ghost never speaks and the box never lights up white. It won't let me through the seemingly last door without it. Seems like a glitch to me.

did you turn off the lights in the room like the directions tell us?

[deebz2010]

it is doing the same with me. i have off all of the lights and the ghost ignores me

[Pyrohazord]

Just to rule out anything.

Goto options and find the voice recognition part and switch it to text to speech and try again.

[Mandemon]

Did you turn off the light in the first room? You know, like the whiteboard tells you?

[GodMode MrE]

I did turn off all the lights in both rooms. The ghost was constantly throwing things around me, but refused to say anything over about 15 mins of having to listen to that annoying static sound that the new spirit box makes and constantly asking questions.

before the update its all working but now ouja , spirit box and monkey paw doesnt working how can i fix that

[Kami7YT]

I had the same issue but eventually managed to get through.

I got into the options, then in the Audio tab, I set the microphone to the one which matches in my Windows settings and chose "Toggle" for Voice Input Mode.

You can change back everything as it was before after you manage to get through. I have no other ideas in case this method doesn't work for you.

Yeah I'm having the same problem with the voice box for some reason it's not working I tried switching toggle voice I tried switching where the input of the voice went to I even turned off the lights turn them both on phasmaphobia really needs to fix their stuff

I always had trouble with the spirit box, so I went into my audio settings and switched it over to "Text". Now I pretty much get a response all the time, if the requirements are met;

- Spirit Box Ghost
- Room Lights Off
- Within Range of the Spirit Box

In larger rooms it can be pretty difficult to get a response with the Tier 1 spirit box, due to it's low range. A trick I use is placing a motion sensor (or salt) and then stand close to it. When the sensor triggers (or it steps in the salt) quickly ask the question. Salt is only a 1-shot attempt which is why I prefer the motion sensor. That said, if you drop a UV beside the salt you can get a 2-for-1 as a UV ghost will leave a UV footprint in salt... At any rate, you're almost guaranteed to be within spirit box range if you do this.

The only way I was able to get it to work was to set it to Text mode and dash straight to where ever the training ghost just threw something. No actual voice worked for this (which is making me wonder if it actually works in game at all...)

It does work in game but it's always been finicky.

took me like a good 15 minutes in training,just kept talking and it happened randomly. maybe change the ptt/ voice activation setting,took that for my friends to hear me in game.

Push V instead of B. I was having the same issue until I realized I was using global chat instead of local

Speak more clearly loudly
