Can't hear enemy pirates talk in game

  • Hi, I can't hear enemy pirates when they speak in game. I see the speech bubble above their head and my crew can hear them speak but I can't. I use to be able to hear them back at launch. my crew can hear me in game and I can hear my crew, it's just the enemy I cant hear. When i'm in the ferry of the dammed I can faintly hear them but too quiet to understand.
    someone please help me :(

    Thanks

  • @skitzyman Which platform are you playing on?

  • If you're on PC, check if windows has permission to use mic in apps, this fixed it for me. You must allow general permission to use mic, as well as toggle on permission for SoT itself.

  • Having the same issue. I think for some reason the other people are extremely volume for some reason.

  • noticed this the other day also. Guy swims up to us and was saying something we couldn't hear.. was very faint..

    We were like sorry buddy cant hear ya and teammate shot him. So we didn't get to try much testing thanks to trigger happy teammate.

    Yup this. https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115012749647-Windows-10-Chat-Settings

  • @thehajii @Vicious1939 yea i'm on PC. I've tried all them windows 10 settings and privacy things :( pretty annoying tbh

  • @skitzyman Yeah the whole chat system for the game is buggy.
    We often need to turn on and off options like "Push to Talk" or "directional" but it has become that bad that we solely use the Xbox party chat even though I'm on PC.

  • @skitzyman Volume of other players turned up in options? Other than that, I did hear of a bug some were having where no matter what, they did not hear other players. I recall someone said they toggled the voice chat options on/off and that would fix it for a session.

  • The game sucks with its audio options. No one i have played with even bothers to use the in game chat. Everyone is on Xbox App Party Chat all the time, or Discord. Kind of pointless to add any kind of Crew 2 Crew long distance chat in this game, since people wouldnt even bother o use it if theyre in Discord or X Box App......

  • @vicious1939 is there a volume option for other players? I could only find crew volume and it's grey'd out when I choose headphones. but I can hear my crew fine. it's so annoying
