I can no longer hear people over voice chat

Solution 1:

I had this issue forever and there are posts all over the place that talk about it, but not every solution works for everyone. The main solution I've seen suggested is updating drivers, however that didn't work for me.

My issue was that UPlay actually set my headset/whatever output the sound intended to go to my ears to my second monitor, instead. Effectively, it was trying to output sound through a TV screen instead of my earbuds. Changing that back to my computer fixed it right up! It's in the audio settings in UPlay when you open it up, not in the game.

Solution 2:

I recently moved to a dorm with the local internet. When I started using my mobile internet for R6, the voice chat started working. So for me, it was because of the internet provider, I suppose. Hope it helps.
