Voice chat works in tutorial but not on servers
New, NormalPublic

Description

In the tutorial mode, the microphone works, the radio icon appears, and voice is heard.
But when I join any multiplayer server, the voice chat doesn’t work: no voice icon appears and other players can’t hear me.

I’ve tried:

  • Checking audio settings in Windows and in-game
  • Reinstalling the game
  • Deleting Arma documents/configs
  • Using a different microphone
  • Switching Steam accounts
  • Testing voice in the tutorial (everything works there)

Nothing helped. Input device is set correctly in system.
Using the licensed Steam version.
Please help, this is a critical feature in the game.

Additional Information

The issue only occurs on multiplayer servers. In the tutorial (training course), everything works fine — microphone, voice icon, and voice chat. This proves the microphone is correctly configured and functional. No firewall or antivirus is blocking the game. BattleEye is active and working. I tested on both official and community servers — same problem.

Hi, I’m facing an issue where my microphone doesn’t work in multiplayer. In the training course, everything works fine, and the voice chat icon appears. But as soon as I join any server, the microphone stops working. I can't see the icon, and other players can't hear me.

I’ve already tried:

Checking sound settings in Windows and in-game.

Reinstalling the game.

Deleting all configs and game documents.

Trying a different microphone.

Switching Steam accounts.

The input device in Windows is set up correctly, and my mic works in other games.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?
