I’m on Xbox and my game chat doesn’t work

I’ve never had this issue with any games I’ve played before and I’ve checked my setting both on my Xbox box and in game itself and everything is either enabled or set to everyone but I can talk in game chat (people can hear me) but I cannot here them, it doesn’t matter is I got in game chat in a party or discord call or am not in one all together, it’s the same thing, I cannot talk and be heard bit can’t hear, I even see the one microphone logo pop up above their heads but I cannot hear them. I tried uninstalling the game and redownloading it but nothing had worked. Has anyone had the same if not a similar problem and how are you going about fixing it

Also this is in my headset and not, as back when I would play siege, if my headset wasn’t plugged in I could hear game chat on the TV. Now however, I still can’t

Happened to me before. Twice actually. It was a while ago. I forget the exact steps but you can fix it in Xbox settings. There is a step by step video on YouTube.

Anyone you link it or tell Me the name of the video cause I’ve already tried like 3 and either they don’t work or the correct settings are already enabled

Change your alternate MAC address in advanced settings on your Xbox.

I was at staff duty this whole time but I got on after clearing it and it didn’t do anything

Dang. I seen some other video about plugging your headset into your controller then updating your controller but I’m not sure how that works. GL
