FiveM mic not working? Fixing voice chat and push-to-talk
Others cannot hear you on FiveM? Check voice chat settings, input device, push-to-talk binding, mic sensitivity, Windows permissions and server mutes.
Vice Roleplay · Sources checked:
On a voice roleplay server, a silent mic means you cannot play. Go through these checks in order; most problems are settled by the first three.
Checks
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Voice is off | Check that voice chat is enabled in Settings > Voice Chat. |
| Wrong microphone | Choose your own microphone as the input device on the same page. |
| Push-to-talk key | Find push-to-talk under Settings > Key Bindings > FiveM; change it if it clashes with another key. It can differ between servers. |
| Mic sensitivity | If sensitivity is too high your voice may never send. Lower it and try again. |
| Windows permission | In Windows Privacy > Microphone, allow desktop apps to use the microphone. |
| You changed devices | If you plugged in a headset while playing, fully restart FiveM. |
| Server muted you | If your voice works on other servers, the issue is on that server; contact its staff. |
Useful console commands
In F8, voice_enableNoiseSuppression true reduces background noise. voice_inBitrate sets voice quality (default 48000); lower it on a weak connection.
