Sometimes, during the middle of a game, I'll be talking, and all of a sudden, my teammates will ask if I'm there. I have an old xbox, so I have an old mic, which I just bought used. Sometimes, I can't here them talk, but I can here others. Is there a reason? Do you have to be in range or something?



Thanks

Are you holding the white button when you talk? It seems like you aren't.

It's an old mic, I press a button and I can free talk. Maybe it was just the game I was in.

Yeah, OP, sorry if you know this and we're sounding like jerks, but if not, you have to hold the white button down to talk to teammates; otherwise, they'll only hear you if you're close to them.
If that's not your problem, I apologize.

Oh! I thought I could just free talk. So I have to hold the white button (or couldn't you hold an arrow?) for everyone, everywhere to hear me?

Unfortunately, it has to be the white button. It doesn't let EVERYONE hear you, but it lets your whole team hear you.
And everyone nearby can still hear you either way.

In team games it lets your whole team hear you if you press the white button or down on the D-Pad and talk(you should hear a static like sound when you press it and hear it again when your team talk session ends.). Note: This also works in FFA

You don't have to hold it, just tap it and it will cut off when you're done speaking
It'll make a little PSSHHHSSHT noise (yeah just like that), btw if you die you'll get immediately cut off with a dying noise
