I'm using steam chat to play with a friend and I can hear him clearly but I can't hear the game through my headphones. I think I hear it through my laptop speakers. I need help!! How do I fix this??

You need to go and change your audio device in control panel > sound > sound settings and set your speakers or headset to the default device and default communication device. Right click the device to see these options, also right click the white window in the and check "Show disabled devices".

Bad server, or bad connection.

if the same thing happens to you on the same server, it means that the server is not currently active.

if it just happens to your friend, its bad connection.
