I can hear voices of people not near me

    I'm at an outpost in a solo crew and around me I hear players using in-game voice, I run to where I hear them and they arn't there. They are saying things like "our ship is taking on a lot of water" "wow they sank already" but there are no ships even near me. Huge bug.

    EDIT- I can now hear them playing music in the tavern, but there's literally no one in there but me. Also when I try to play music too it doesn't sync with theirs. Makes me think I'm hearing audio from a different island or server or something.

    I try to use directional chat but it does not work.
    In the past i was able to hear voices on different speakers based on where i was looking, now everything come out from the central speaker.

    What the heck the directional option in chat do?

    @screwxbox42069 They need to make it so we can still hear and talk to people that are in party, we can't comunicate with them other than emotes or if on PC text messages.

    @manson-monroe yea of his is like mine anywhere I go I can hear people talking but it's like their always just off the distance you would normally hear someone talking when getting close. I was on the top right corner and I heard them talking about a fort I did a raid in an hour prior on the other side of the map

    Have had the same bug.
    Usually Americans and euros.

    I also have a bug where my chat defaults to always on whenever I join a server.
    I then need to go in and turn off PtT in the menu, then go back and turn it on for it to actually stay on.

    I have no mic on my tower PC.
    I use a headset sometimes to talk with a friend.
    I have the headset unplugged, no mic now on my PC... but people complain my mic is broadcasting feedback... but theres no mic plugged in. Its a tower PC I built, not a laptop. So something is up, my game is broadcasting everything I hear back.

    I can definitely hear "game chat" voice from other players. Sitting on a quiet island with the main menu open to "dull" the soundeffects and I can hear SEVERAL crews, not just ones nearby. Usually saying instruction to each other. American & Euro. Its definitely not "hidden" local people either as I can be docked at Sanctuary and hear people talking about how theyre docking at somewhere else far east, like Ancient Spire.

    Can confirm; this is still happening. I was at a random outpost and could hear a two-player crew near the shipwright, I managed to walk exactly to where the sound was coming from and asked:"Can you guys hear me?" and so forth, they had no reaction and I looked everywhere around the outpost to no avail. It felt like I had sea madness, hearing voices that weren't there lol. Anyway, I was also playing on solo when this happened - and I'm not certain, but I think the guys were from a previous crew I had played with earlier the same evening.

    @anders-wayforth Me and @NoFears-Fun had this issue aswell a couple of days ago. Never heard a someone with such a foul mouth aha! I named her Gordon Ramsey xD

    I forgot to do a bug report but I will do one in the morning. I would suggest to help the devs you do the same bud.

    Or make another thread about the issue as this one is 6 months old and will be closed as it counts as necroing. :)

    Hey Matey,

    This bug has been around for a while yet the devs are yet to squash it. I recommend submitting a support ticket detailing as much information as you can to help the team resolve the issue.

    Dropping anchor on this thread as it's well past it use by date :-)
