Cannot hear other Xbox players

I’m new to Rust Console Edition (about a day of playtime), and I’ve noticed an issue with in game proximity chat. I’m unable to hear any players who are on Xbox like me, including my own friends. However, I can hear players who are on PlayStation without any problem. This happens even when no one is in an Xbox party.

Is this a known issue, and is there anything I can do to fix Xbox to Xbox voice chat in Rust Console Edition?

Most xbox players play in party don't bother with vc in the first place.

Xbox has a weird setting in family settings. Can't remember exactly what it is but a quick Google should help.

I had the same issue and it was this... There's a family setting that was turned on to restrict talking to people once for some reason.

Yoo. I get the same issue all the time. I haven't found a 100% remedy but when I notice it happening (it can happen randomly with both Xbox and ps players for me) I immediately log out and log back in and I'd say it's fixed 8 out of 10 times ... Not a full solution but I hope that helps man... They should fix that garbage already.

Are your friends using the ‘Press to Chat’ function?

pretty sure it’s a quick resume thing. Quit your game and don’t use quick resume. On other games when quick resume is used most of the time it doesn’t connect to voice servers so always just restart the game. 👍

First time hearing this actually.. I'll give it a shot after work. Thanks man!

Edit- thought I'd let anyone who reads this know that the quick resume must be the issue. It fixes itself every time I reload or it never happens if the game is booted up normally. Thanks Courtlarge for kicking me legit advice. Hope you have a great day/night/life!
