How To Fix Can’t Hear Friends After Joining A Party On Xbox One
No technology is perfect and from time to time, Xbox Live or one of its services such as party chat may fail. In this troubleshooting article, we’ll show you what you can do if you can’t hear your friends after you join a party on your Xbox One.
Causes why you may not hear your friends after joining a party on Xbox One
There are four common reasons why voice chat may not work in a party.
Privacy settings not set properly.
A limited Xbox Live profile may prevent you from joining parties or doing voice chat. This can happen if you set your Xbox Live account privacy to a strict setting.
Friends are blocked or muted.
Another possible cause for this problem may come from a setting on your Friend’s list. If the friends you’re trying to talk to are blocked or muted before joining the party, you can’t expect any voice response from them.
Xbox Live services outage.
Sometimes, parties may not work properly in Xbox Live due to server issues. Voice chat may also not work properly if there’s a network problem like weak wifi signal, or if your internet connection speed is slow or intermittent.
NAT issue.
In some cases, NAT-related issue can prevent voice chats from working. This happens if your Network Address Translation or NAT type is not set to Open. Your console’s NAT type depends on your router settings so in order to change it, you’ll need to know how to pull up your router’s user interface and change necessary settings from there.
