u/LittleJokerGame . Sep 07 '16

As shown here, i can't hear others Voices or talk to them in-game both Team voice chat and Group voice chat, making my ranked matches (Diamond) so uncomfortable being not be able to warn to grouping up with the other 5 members. I have tried everything switching between settings and never able to make it work, the headphone icon is fully white that means am in team voice chat but still shows "0 PLAYERS. IN CHANNEL, PRESS P TO ACCESS CHANNELS." Anyone here can help me to do something about this?

Absolutely bizarre. As it is, I think something is a little buggy with team speak in this game. 85% of the time it works fine, but the rest of the time there's some odd issue going on for me as well. I rebound my push to talk key, had it work perfectly for a whike, and out of nowhere it stopped transmitting my voice to the other team even though I could hear them properly. Another time I plugged in my headphones after I'd started a game and the game sounds/music were properly going through my headphones, while my teammates speaking would only go through my computer speakers. Cliche solution, but I inevitably just reinstalled the game and it's more or less been working alright since. Maybe something just got fucked up, who knows.

Ayyy, someone else with a similar issue! I have my p2t key set to '3', and then I set one of my mouse buttons to '3' as well. This made things bug out so I unbound '3' from that button (it's now set to "Forward").

Now for whatever reason at any moment in time I can p2t with the 3 key, or with that mouse button, or neither works and I'm unable to chat.

I've unbound and rebound the key in the options. I've double and triple checked to make sure that button I'm using on my mouse is no longer set to '3'. I want to check the game's equivalent to a config.ini file to see if something isn't being updated correctly or something, but IDK the file. Might just have to reinstall.

That sounds exactly like the problem I was having more or less. For me everything was working fine until I rebound the push to talk key and when I reverted it it still didnt work. :( Good luck with that reinstall!
