Insurgency: Sandstorm voice chat not working & other audio-related issues acknowledged

Insurgency: Sandstorm is an FPS game with a strong community of players since its launch. However, some players have been experiencing problems with voice chat.

Voice chat is a key element of team-based FPS. Through this, players can coordinate to achieve the victory for their team. Therefore, voice chat malfunction is a serious problem.

Many Insurgency: Sandstorm players have been reporting (1, 2, 3) in the last few weeks that the game is suffering from multiple audio problems that mainly affect their voice chat.

In most of the reported cases, players cannot use voice chat in any way. Meanwhile, in other cases, the audio quality is very poor.

It seems that the game developers are not working on this bug as fast as players would like. We can see that there are reports of problems with the Insurgency: Sandstorm voice chat for about 20 days.

Among the comments of the 20-day-old report, some users point out that it is a “known bug”. Therefore, the problems with voice chat on Insurgency: Sandstorm would be even older.

The reason why the solution to this error is taking so long to arrive is still unknown. However, at least the company behind the game has confirmed the existence of these errors, and that they are working to fix them.

However, there is still no estimated date by which this expected fix can arrive. For now, Insurgency: Sandstorm players will have to settle for playing the game without using voice chat until the solution is available.

Among the reports, some users try to offer their own workarounds that help to temporarily solve the problem, while an official solution arrives.

Some point out that if you are suffering from this bug, try disconnecting and connecting your microphone during the game.

Other players bring a more technical workaround. They point out that the problem could be fixed by resetting the MAC address from the advanced configuration menu of your Wi-Fi network.

However, the ideal would be for New World Interactive (the developers of Insurgency: Sandstorm) to quickly fix this bug that is affecting many of their players.

Once the company confirms that the solution to this annoying error has finally been sent, we will update this article with the information. You can also check other bugs reported by Insurgency: Sandstorm players in this article.
