Unable to hear Voice chat.

    Hey folks, as of a couple of weeks ago I have been having voice chat trouble in SoT. I am unable to hear other people when/if they are speaking in game and according to my discord buddies they can not hear me either.

    When I speak, my chat icon shows up in the corner of my screen so I know SoT is at least detecting the input, but when my friends or other people speak I dont see the little icon appear above their heads.

    For clarification, I am playing on the Windows 10 version of Sot and I have already read through the Windows 10 Audio Issues guide. I have also already contacted support but they only told me to go read the audio guide.

    Any help from you wonderful folks would be appreciated, thank you.

    check the audio setting in both the game as well as in the xbox app or xbox console companion app. there may be a mismatch in your settings. otherwise that guide would of covered everything else.

    So I actually figured out the problem.
    For whatever reason, even though I have had a Strict NAT Type for the past few months, it has only just recently crippled my voice chat.

    Using a VPN to swap my NAT type to open or moderate fixed it completely but now I have to find a decent free VPN that wont make my ping sky rocket.
