Can't connect voice chats

[loppantorkel]

It's worked without issues before. Now it's stuck on 'connecting...' and I can't get through. The other side is unable to call me too.

Anyone knows a solution?

Same here and few other friends also have the issue. WebRTC times out based on the logs

Same problem.

Same here. One of the two friends that I play with also has this issue. We can use in-game voice chat (Rocket League) just fine but Steam voice chat refuses to work. Did not find any fixes yet.

Since yesterday, I'm also having issues with connecting to voice chat. After 5-10 or so minutes of connecting/reconnecting, I'll connect, and from that point on everything works fine. Moving to another voice channel, or leaving and immediately rejoining, will again start the 5-10 minute cycle of connecting.

So far, I've tried:
- Firewall rules for allowing inbound and outbound connections for steam.exe and steamwebhelper.exe
- Turning off firewalls
- Restarting my PC, and Steam
- Unplugging all audio devices
- Unplugging all devices except audio devices and displays
- Port forwarding on ports 27014―27020 UDP
Needless to say, none of the above resolved the issue.

I did find that one (1) of my friends is also having this issue. They, like me, live in Sweden ― if that's important. They're using WIFI, I'm using cable connection

Dear Valve developers, please, fix this problem.

It creates very frustrating situation for us, we cannot connect to our friends/family members using voice because of this!
