While Riot Games has (finally) acknowledged the presence of a glitch affecting the voice chat functionality, it\u2019s yet to be fixed and is wreaking havoc in our games.\u00a0 In almost every other VALORANT game I play these days, I can\u2019t hear my party members or teammates while they can, or they can\u2019t hear me while I can. Sometimes, the glitch is restricted to my party alone, where my party members can\u2019t hear me, but I can hear them and teammates who aren\u2019t in my party. As far as I can recall, the bug was first spotted after Patch 8.04. At that time, it affected five-stack parties only, so we\u2019d just have to hop onto Discord to fix it. Unfortunately, the bug is now more prevalent than ever, and it's affecting all kinds of parties. Crucially, Riot issued a notification on March 29, stating that it is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. But it\u2019s been three days, and things are only getting worse.\u00a0Interestingly, according to the official server status page, the issue is restricted to certain servers, including Asia-Pacific and Korea. Servers in EMEA and the Americas have apparently not been affected. A casual VALORANT player wouldn\u2019t realize how grave the issue is. I have had teammates throw matches in high Elo just because they thought people ignored their calls. Communication is key in tactical shooters like these, especially in advanced lobbies. I never had a longer losing streak like the one I have right now, and I can\u2019t blame my teammates for it anymore. Having a glitch like this is a crisis for us, ranked players, looking to climb the ladder, which isn\u2019t a breeze of an experience anyway.\u00a0 If you are reading this and have had a similar experience, I have a small workaround for you to try. Press the Esc key, go to Audio, and then the Voice Chat tab. Here, find the Team and Party Voice Chat options and enable and disable them multiple times. It may fix things but don\u2019t get too excited. It doesn\u2019t work in most cases.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/VALORANT-Voice-Chat-Issues-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183382"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1183382"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1183436,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183382\/revisions\/1183436"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1183384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1183382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1183382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1183382"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1183382"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1183382"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1183382"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1183382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
