DayZ SA ~ Cannot talk or hear direct chat.

[rhino177 0]

I play with a group of about 5ish guys, all of them can talk/type listen/read in direct chat.  They can all hear and read eachothers typed messages and hear VOIP but for some reason I can't hear them or read messages.  They can't see my messages either.  My VOIP is turned up, no one muted, I can hear the game just fine.  I've used the search feature but I vant find anyone in DayZ SA that has this issue, and the stuff that I've found doesnt seem to work.

 

Anyone else have this problem?  Is there a known solution?

Hi i have a similar situation i can send and see messages and i can hear when people are bugged and speaking in global but i cannot speak or hear direct communication. I haven't been able to find anything on it either so frustrating.

I got mine to work by turning my mic on from Windows settings. Dunno if that's the cause for you, but you should prolly try it if you haven't already.

I have the same problem... Nobody is interested in fixing this!!! Nobody gets my massages... Its really annoying getting shot because you cant speak/write to them...

My problem is i have 2 sound devices. I use my surround sound for game sounds and i have a USB wireless headset that will only broadcast teamspeak. There is no way yet to tell the game what device to transmit on. I believe Arma 2 had the same lack of function as-well.

Heres the thing though too, I can't change to another channel apart from Direct. Comma, dot keys pressed , nothing happens except direct channel opens..Bug or what? Thx

There is only Direct Comm, its a feature. Others are disabled in SA.

Thx, so that means I can only hear someone in near vecinity and only chat and write to someone thats close to me...Because I cant see other people chatting on the server either..Shouldnt there be a server chat for the server I+m on at that moment?

Apart from my own, I cannot see any Direct Chat (and as I understand it there are no other channels at the moment so can't see them either). Other people can see mine though, reactions have been duly noted but I haven't heard a peep.

I cannot hear ppl talk to me but they can hear me. Is there a way I can fix this?

bump this back up in case someone has found a fix

The Arma engine uses TCP/UDP port 2304 for VON.

If your firewall is blocking that for some reason you won't be able to talk or hear anyone.

 

It won't affect text chat though. I don't think text and voice are connected so it doesn't make sense for text chat to not work.
