Why doesn't my voice chat work

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to talk to your friends however they can't hear you.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please check privacy settings. Go to Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox privacy and make sure that "Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites" is set to "Everyone".

And then check party settings. If you're in a party, make sure your microphone is not muted. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, go to Parties & chats, and check the microphone icon.

Next is to update your console. Go to Settings > System > Updates and check for updates.

Then restart your console and router.Kindly unplug your Xbox console and router from the power source, wait a few seconds, and then plug them back in.

Kindly test your microphone. Go to Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories and select your microphone to test it.

If incase that your friends can't hear you, try using a different headset or controller to see if the issue persists. This will be a great help to determine if there's a hardware malfunction.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I'm having the same problem and it has nothing to do with party audio that's why he said Sea of thieves voice chat

It doesn't work at all for me, and parties work completely fine.

At the moment, I am using a usb headset through pc. Party chats on the app work, and parties on xbox I see, through the stream, register my mic. But it doesn't transmit my voice. Which is why I'm extra confused.

Hi Skyler, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.
