Game chat not working…… sometimes?

George T4 · Feb 26, 2023

Since I made this account in 2017 I’ve had problems with game chat. It’s works fine in some games, Fortnite, F1 2021, however in other games such as Apex legends or any call of duty game. In these games I can hear others fine but no one is able to hear me.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello George, usually communication problems in group chat or in game can be related to the quality of your NAT, it has to be open preferably.

If you play on console, do the NAT test below.

NAT Test

Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

Click Profile and system > Settings > General > Network Settings.

Under Current network status, the NAT Type field displays the current NAT type.

"Xbox NAT Types

Your NAT type is determined by the settings or features of the router on the network you are using to connect to the Internet. Your NAT type, combined with the NAT type of other online players, determines whether you can successfully communicate with them in party chat or use multiplayer gaming."

sometimes you have to go through party and select game chat and other times you have to be in game chat before you ever start a party. it is very complicated and some games work differently

It may not be the headset. See if it works in normal game chat. I've had all kind of problems with party chat. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Party chat works fine, but i feel like sometimes the adapter doesn't work in game chat.

Sometimes mine works and sometimes it doesn't. But today I was in a private party chat and I could hear game chat plain as day in my party chat while I was still hearing my party chat members. They could also hear me talking back to them in game chat somehow.
There are some definite issues with this.
