That's why I have my communication setting set to Friends only. I only hear my friends.

Hey geek what sound setting on game you have it on? I have almost perfect hearing and I cannot hear them I even tryed that combo. Could it be my headset since they are new? I can hear my footsteps and teammates just fine so I know its not me and no matter
the setup well you know. I wish I knew what settings on the advance sound editor to adjust to make footstep mode better.

This is why my communication settings are not set to "Friends Only". I have no reason at all to hear other people anymore on xboxlive. The ONLY people I hear are people on my friends list. Thats it.
