    Can't change my privacy settings for Xbox and can't use in-game voice chat as a result.


    I have been enjoying playing Sea of Thieves on my PC for many months now, however, no matter what I do I am unable to hear other people talk in proximity chat or game chat even if they are in the same party as me, unless I am friends with them in the game. When I play with my friend, I can hear him just fine, but if I play with random people or encounter them randomly, I am completely unable to hear them and it would seem they are unable to hear me. The voice chat indicator pops up in my screen saying that I'm transmitting audio, but it seems that nobody can hear it. When I look at my Xbox privacy settings, under 'You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text" it the friends bullet is highlighted, and when I try to change it and then save it, sometimes it will say that it saved successfully, and sometimes it will say that an error occurred. Either way, when I go to play the game and then look at the settings again, it will always have , reverted to the friend only box being checked. I also try to change the setting that says: "Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites" but teh same issue happens.

    Why do I get shadow muted ? How to get unmuted?

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the community. How are you?

    Have you checked if your account's privacy settings can't prevent you from using chat?

    Check if this option is set to ''allow'' on this link https://account.xbox.com/Settings

    ''You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text''

    Can't change my privacy settings

    This is because you're underage or used the wrong age when setting up the account, Unfortunately once an age is set it's permanent. While the system will let you change the age anytime, It only recognizes the age you used when you set up the account. This
    is to prevent kids from just changing their ages to bypass things. You will need your parents help or you will have to send in an age change request form and see what they say.
