Why when I'm in a party am I stuck in game chat and cannot enter party chat.

I'm having these same issues right now. Game chat works fine but as soon as I get into any party, it won't let me switch to "Party Chat". It's like it's stuck in Game Chat & won't allow a switch over to Party Chat.

Try this procedure, hope it helps. You can enable the Text Conversation Chat or Speech Conversation Chat features. To do this:- Go to the game's main menu and select the Settings tab. - Enter the Accessibility submenu. - Select Enable Text to Speech Chat or Enable Speech to Text Chat. To mute or unmute the microphone, highlight your Gamertag and press the OPTIONS button. In-game chat is enabled. You cannot hear party audio and the party cannot hear your voice. To switch to party audio, select [Party Settings] > [Chat Audio].

Hope I helped and see you soon

[quote user="Mewtwo"][quote user="LostKauz"]Simple solution, play with Friends in Party Chat. What's wrong with that?[/quote]This IS what I do. And when I am gaming alone online in multiplayer I am obviously not in party
chat. I am in game chat.[/quote]

This is totally understandable. I do the same as well. If I'm playing a MP Game that my Friends aren't or I'm not in Party Chat I'll still use Game Chat now and then. As soon as the first signing rap star comes in, I'll go back
into a Party Chat with just me.

I think they were in a hurry to get everything going for launch, but that is no excuse, they have lots of workers making lots of $$$.

Party chat: when someone invites me to a party in-game, I have to "Enable Party chat". Why can't it be like before: someone invites me to a party; I except - I'm in...no need to enable party chat...

I'm having the same problem with it. I going the party and my friends cant hear me and I cant hear them. some times I cant even get into party chat, I get stuck into game chat
