How to Fix MIC & Party Chat Not Working in COD Modern Warfare 3 (Quick Tutorial) 

Mate mines so annoying, I can see that people are talking can see that my mic is on. But no one can hear me and I can’t hear no one. Again yes I’ve tried everything don’t know wtf to do now

If peoples mic icons pop up like they are talking but you can't hear them try unplugging your console and plugging it back in it worked for me

SET OPEN MIC SENSITIVITY TO 70 TO TALK TRUST ME! THE CLOSER IT IS TO 0 THE MORE THE MIC WILL PICK UP IF ITS AT 100 IT WONT PICK UP ANYTHING!

Thank you so much after a week of trying to fix my issue, I came across your video and now my mic works again.

FIX UPDATE ON PS5 1. Go to game base on ps5 2. Start a new "closed party" while mw3 is open. 3. Go to ur new party and click square button for the drop down. 4. Click on MW3 5. Click on Open Voice Chat settings 6. My "mute voice chat" was turned on. I disabled it and it's working now.

Guys there’s an option in sound settings for the ps5 called mute game voice chat you must turn it off so you can hear and talk in the game 😊

it's the MIC sensitivity level being over 70. Moved mine down, now its working again!

If you’re still having issues reset the mic sensitivity to 70 this worked for me!!

Man I forgot I changed a few settings on the console to be able to combat bot messages on Xbox but thank you I can now hear funny interactions between people on infected

I can’t find the crossplay communication settings on steam. How do you fix this?

Finally a RU-vid that's not wasting my time thnx u legend🎉😅

If anyone has not tried resetting the audio set and is still having this issue then do that because it surprisingly worked for me.

Thank you so much for this! Solved the issue that came out of nowhere.

I can’t hear no one nor speak….. send help before I break everything…😊

What if it doesn’t say cross play on my screen bro?

Bro I see people talking I just can’t hear them . I just bought a new head set a ducking ps5 Sony head set

I am on PC and have been trying for over a week. I have tweeked every setting multiple times in game, in my steam settings, in my device manager, privacy settings, sound settings. I mean I have tried absolutely everything. Even bought a new headset with a USB port and still nothing. I'm getting furious trying to figure out why I can hear everyone, but no one can hear me. I go to test mic in the COD audio settings and I can hear myself, yet I join in a game and no one can hear me ever.

My son plays Xbox, I play PC. Every other game he can't hear me but he can hear the game. The rest of our team can hear me fine but he can't hear anyone.

I have everyone muted including myself and doesn’t let me unmute

Mine stops working as soon as I’m in the lobby can’t hear my friends or team but I load into a game n it’s just fine

Bro please help, I get a crossed out mic icon and when I try to test it in CoD nothing works, on my PS5 settings the mic is perfectly fine, I checked my account status and im not banned and i wasnt informed of any restrictions. Ive tried everything, activsion is not responding, help

All my settings are correct. Just as you show here in this video. When I do the mic test on the ps5 it shows it’s registering my voice. When I open COD and do the mic test, it doesn’t register my voice. I’ve checked the settings a million times. Still nothing.

Still doesnt work my mic icon doesn't even show up

My microphone doesn’t work and I just got a brand new controller does anyone know why?

I have everything setup to talk to my other players in the lobby and it's not picking my voice up still.

I dont have the crossplay communication setting? Is it only for PC's cuz im on xbox next gen

I can hear people. It says that I could talk, but nobody could hear me like on my screen that shows the indicator that I’m talking.

When I put my mic into party chat for Xbox it works fine but whenever I put it in game chat it never works

No cross play option

Is there a way to hear ps5 party chat and lobby chat at the same time? I know you can switch between the 2 chats. Someone on reddit said it's possible, but didn't explain the settings

it says platform settings but i’m on windows and i think everything is on

The entire lobby starts off muted for me, pressing the "All lobby: Muted" button does nothing, unmuting specific players results in "can't toggle mute" error, I play on PC.

can you help me find where push to talk menu is i cant find it I remember turning it on

I want game chat only!!!!!!!! I DONT WANT TO HEAR THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY IS IT SO CONFUSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything is turned on, and I can hear people, i just can’t speak but I don’t know why. When I test my mic it works

Tysm I needed this

Thank you for you amazing help!

Thanks all i had 2 do was turn up my voice chat i appreciate it

Thanks you helped big time

I'm on xbox.It's doing basically the same thing. I can hear people I see my mic going off when I talk but nobody can hear me. Ive reset the settings in game, everything is opened. Ive reset the mac settings and still nothing

My mic works for everything except CoD. It makes no sense. My mic test pics up audio but will not work in lobby or game.

I don’t have the cross communication option when I go onto the account and network settings

mines is dumb. My mic works and when i talk everyone can hear me but i cant hear anyone even my duo or party.

Bro when the game starts my party mutes i can hear the enite lobby but my party

I dont have that section crossplay comunications!!!! 1st: Activision acc 2nd two-factor authentication 3rd: blocked players!

So i can hear my teammates talking but they cant hear me?

What a legend 👍

It’s a bug in Warzone this isn’t going to fix the one where you have your mic and it’s on but you see ppl talking , it’s a bug I been dealing with forever since season 3..

Ty soo much my squad mic was disconnected lol ty again

Mine is on when I tested it but it my friends and teammates still couldn't hear me

its working but which botton open the mic

Mines not showing the cross play likes yours how do I fix that?

Why is that my teammmates can hear me pressing my back paddles on my controller, they is sounds like I’m. Tapping a keyboard. I’m on pc? Any suggestions?

Clear persistent storage and MAC address should fix the problem did for me anyway thanks man

I can hear prox chat but I can't talk to anyone please help

My chat works fine during the game but once the round is over it disconnects me from the party? And I can't get the headphones to work any more why????

What if i cant hear the other players too?

My mic icon shows on I can hear but I can't talk in mic

Why can’t I hear operator voice lines?

I’m so stupid I play on ps5 and I have my lights on dim so I didn’t notice that my mic was muted

Settings,network settings,advanced settings, alternate MAC address and then press clear *this will fix problem if nothing else works*

This is the best video on youtube 💪🏾

It’s workin ‼️😂

My mic is workin in the lobby but not game do anyone know how to fix this?

Mine works but my mic sensitivity is weird bro it like cuts out

Bro thank you it was mic monitoring don’t have it all the way up guys that’s why I couldn’t talk 😅

mine is where i can hear everyone including lobby memebers except one person ,and even tho that perosn is talking i just cant hear them unless in the lobby

Mine says it’s all on and where it needs to be still won’t unmute anyone

U ARE A GOD

For xbox : Reset MW audio settings and update the xbox controllers

How do you fix it auto muting you tho

my headphones work for web browsing but in game im only hearing chat no game sounds

i love you bro

Bruhh…. make sure to go under master volume in the setting and click show more and make sure voice chat volume is not at 0. Struggled for 2 hours and tried everything possible. It was just that the volume was turned down

None of these work - my issues is the voice lobby was stuck at muted - no easy fixes out there available to fix this issue - uninstall and reinstall was only option

GG Brother this fixed mine

i can’t hear anyone and even my mics not being picked up and i’ve done everything so i’m at a loss

anyone experience this issue on xbox you may have to adjust the system headchat mixer in the home tab

Shows that my mates are talking but doesn’t show my mic and I can’t hear them and I checked all my settings to make sure and everything is all good, can someone help please?

Is there a fix for mics that are muted but won't allow you to mute them or send a friend request or anything. I'll get into a lobby and I can hear a few people, but the ones I cannot hear are the ones with the muted mics that won't allow me to unmute them. I heard it's a bug in the game right now. But, I'm not sure if anyone has this problem and if they resolved it.

My microphone just won’t work for the in game part, it works for my console party’s and other games just not mw3

I just can’t hear people I can talk to

When I hit my mute button people can still hear me

The UI in mw3 is flipping horrible on pc should just be show all period not show more

Thank you

MW3 appearing on my main monitor alone causes my voice audio to cut out on Discord , Xbox Game Bar for Pc, or even in game party chat. And if I minimize the game it fixes my audio issues (the game is still running in the background btw) so i have a really bizarre issue. Does anyone experience this on PC????

Ok I fixed mine by resetting my audio tab cause I turned my volume up too much 👍🏻

Fixed thx😊

HEADSET CHAT MIXER! HEADSET CHAT MIXER! TURN THAT BIH ON! Its in audio and music on xbox.

This isn’t helpful at all. My account is basically acting like it’s banned. Chat Disabled pops up on my screen every time I load into a match and I can hear everyone, but they can’t hear me. Everything is enabled and as it should be meaning I haven’t turned any of the setting’s off and it’s 100% not a ban as I’ve checked more then once now on Activision’s webpage and every time it days there’s no ban detected. Some please explain to me what’s going on. None of this is making any sense to me and it’s annoying as because what is even the point in playing if I can’t even talk to my friends. This all started happening after an update too so I’m guessing it’s some dumb bug in the game like the 1000’s of bugs they already have they just had to give me another one🤦🏽‍♂️

I see ppl talking but i cant hear em

Mine don't work or matter what 😢

Lower mic sensitivity comment below somewhere said to put it like at 70 it won’t puxk anything up at 100 it’s true

I don’t even have crossplay in my setting

Nothing worked for me still the same

EVERYONE TURN OPEN MIC SENSITIVTY TO 70 NOT 100

Work thx

Every year sledgehammer?????

Thank You,, this video has helped so I sub'd..

for those on ps5 go on the speaker button when u press the logo and turn off mute game chat
