Voice chat not working??

brassmaster12

Is anyone else having this issue where voice chat won't work at all? I have a headset and mic etc, and for the first day I was able to voice chat and join that Area chat etc, now when I try to join it says it's not working and may be due to maintenance, yet i can't find anything about it not currently working. So is anyone elses voice chat not working? Or is it just mine?

Mines doing the exact same thing, so annoying!

I have the same issue. Mine hasn't worked at all yet on my Xbox. I have had no way at all to communicate with anyone in game (besides emotes). It is getting frustrating. I sent a support ticket on the 9th but I haven't heard anything yet.

I have tried 2 different headsets. They both work on console party chat, but not ESO voice chat. It always says voice chat is unavailable.

@brassmaster12 and @Lewejuice -- can you confirm which platform you're playing on (Xbox One or PlayStation 4)?

I think the voice chat is a bit much. Can't go too far without hearing heavy breathing. Scared the hell out of me the first time

In game voice chat on the PS4 hasn't been working for some of us as well. It constantly joins the channel and leaves the channels. Does this repeatedly and continuously until you log out or zone.

LMAO!
It was the middle of the night, and I was up playing a game, all alone and I hear; "Hey Look out!".
I completely forgot about the voice chat and jumped right out of my skin!
I "yelped" and my Wife woke up and aasked why I was laughing so hard.

I'm on Xbox One and I'm having the same issue.

I, too, noticed this issue on the PS4. It certainly makes communication difficult, as there's no text backup option to fall back on.

I really think Zenimax should add a "push-to-talk" or to not automatically put players in the Voice chat and "force" players to manually join the voice chat of their choice if they wish so.

I've been in the situation where I forgot to leave the chat after a disconnection. I'm streaming, and so constantly speaking... I didn't realised I was on Voice chat until someone asked me nicely (but also visibly very annoyed) "Can you please stop to yell"
I was super embarassed! I really don't want be annoying to other players!
Also this can be "dangerous", let's imagine I've some issue at home, and can't cut the voice chat before to deal with those issues... It can be an intrusion in intimacy.

i really believe that a solution should be bring to this matter.

Hi @brassmaster12 , mine hasn't been working since launch time, and even after the imperial city update still doesn't work.

I always have the same issue with the Xbox one just a everyday problem.... Just hard reset the console and then make sure when you turn it on again you have the headphones and mic already plugged, it always work for me like this

Not why it happens, however I've noticed when I sometimes log in the voice chat has turned itself off.

The headset I'm using is a PC headset, Logitech G35, while it's not supported on the PS4 it infact works fine both, before and after the patch, so I know that isn't the problem.
