Ever since I got the game, I can't hear anyone on there mic's I can see the mic icon light up but I can't hear anyone talk. My voice options on my live profile are all on and I have them set right.

Check the Windows settings for the mic. You may need to give the volume a decibel boost.

F-f-f-f-fling yourself.

I have the same issue. My mic works fine on skype and everything else, even sound effects for this game, but I can't hear other's voice.

Honestly, having played this on Xbox for years, I'm happy not to hear the other's voices :D

Nice, that was exactly the problem, it was set to 0 for some reason.

Yeah same here. I was thinking that this was one of the problems causing the delay but now that the game's out and I still have this problem I dunno. However I don't care about it since I don't wanna hear 90% of the crap they gotta say to begin with. =)

While we're on the subject does anyone know what's going on with the text chat? When I first got the game before the release it had it in the lobby, in game, etc. but after the May 22nd update I believe it was, it's gone. I don't think it ever worked anyways though cuz the only text I got were my own in 16 player games. I figured either they didn't wanna talk or it was another reason for delay... but I really need the text chat in pc games... is it coming back?

Oh oh... time to start fiddling with your installation i think... it's still there, both in game and in the lobby. it's always been there and still is......
