The only change I can conceive of is that my console has turned off in-between sessions. I did try that the other day with no success.

Apologies again for leaking my frustration. Just seems like you're telling me it's tough luck and I should get another mic. I'm happy to help in some other way. I have free time I'm willing to offer, having already spend a significant amount of it troubleshooting this bug.

Is that it then? A quick Google and you can see people have been complaining about this for years. It's become a running joke.

Update: I looked for a link to Zesty Polvos stream from last night but he's removed it. It was such a disaster because he experienced this issue. He tried the party chat / game chat "fix", unplugging, restarting and then he gave up and ended the stream.
