Thanks for bringing that to my attention @WootCandy

I've spoken to some of the QA team and they've confirmed this is a known issue that is being worked on. For now I've merged the threads and added this to the known issues.

Sorry I can't provide more info at this time.

Since launch it appears that the voice chat functionality in GW2 is not functional on the PC side. By default the binding for PTT is left alt. It will never activate the microphone, on the same note, I have not heard chat from anyone in game either. 

I saw this reported previously and I posted about it on Twitter, where I received a reply to reinstall the game. This did not work.

I was hoping that this would get fixed with the recent update, but it has not improved at all.

Try right clicking on the Speaker icon at the bottom right.

Recording Devices

Right Click on the one you use and Set as Default Communications Device.

Mic is enabled and functional. If I hit left alt, it will not trigger the mic toggle (as shown graphically in the lobby) at all. Even if that was the case, I don't hear anyone ever talk either. I find it nearly impossible that no one ever talks while in any matches that I am in. It has been reported before, and I don't believe it has been fixed as of yet.

So, are you guys going to fix the broken VOIP (PC) or just continue to ignore the fact it doesn't work at all?  You have a team based game and not one way to communicate with anyone during gameplay.  C'mon man!

[mikeyj9292]

Before someone replies stating such, no, I did not realize this wasn't an official or semi-official ea forum for the game.  I see now that it is only community supported.  Thus, stating their VOIP is broken here is useless...just as it is on their twitter page.

As per the separate discussion about cheating, that one is definitely miles outside our bailiwick.  This one may be more likely to be copied for escalation, if it isn't an isolated situation, but as you surmise, few actual details from here in AHQ are seen by anyone with real power to do anything substantial.

The same thing happens to me and to every friend I've asked about it. It seems it is a common issue yet to be solved.

By the way my mic is functional as well as I can skype and even use origin voice chat.

I have the same problem. My headset works with every voip services, and in other games too. But in GW2 i cant hear anyone, and my microphone isnt active in the game.
