Mic stops working randomly when a user joins multiplayer game

[crazyave]

Hello, I'm not here to complain, but to help add constructive feedback to improve things and help identify and fix issues.

A friend and I play online in multiplayer DCS.  I always host the game.  When he joins, in that moment, my mic test slider stops working and we cannot hear each other.  This happens randomly when he joins, some days it happens quite often, other days it seldom happens.  I have port forwarded all suggested ports on my router.  We have bought purposeful USB headsets, we've made sure our connection to the Internet is fast, < 13ms.  We have both fully wiped and reinstalled DCS, with no difference.  We are using the current version of OB.

Let me know if I can provide anything to help identify the issue, I'm happy to help.

Thanks,

ave-

Does you friend use a VPN?

No VPN.

BTW, after this last update today now it's 100% broken instead of intermittently broken.  I can only hear myself in the Mic Test.

Is the Voice Chat master volume turned to the max?
