    I can still join a party. Can still send messages. I'm not voice chat banned so why is everyone in my call of duty game muted? I can't unmute them either. I went to my Xbox settings and everything is enabled and set to everyone. The setting is also set to adult. Voice chat was working in the morning yesterday but I got on in the evening and this started to happen.

    :)

    So everything was working fine but now when I tried to Play online the same thing happened again to where I couldn't hear people in game. My mic went back to not working. I had to delete my account and re add it to fix the issue a second time. I think this might be a bug that needs looking into.

    Looks like deleting my account from the Xbox and adding it again worked.

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    Check that your privacy settings allow communication with everyone. Press the Xbox button to open the guide and select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox Live privacy. Select View details & customize > Communication & multiplayer, and then make changes.

    If everything is on "Allow" or set to "Everyone" kindly block all of them then power cycle your console and "Allow" and set it to "Everyone" again. This is to refresh your account setting.
