I play on PC and the voice chat is so quiet for me that I cannot understand anyone, I know people are talking because I can hear slight sounds from them but not enough to properly understand.
I have a Razer Kraken 7.1 V2.
Does anyone know a fix?
Solved! Go to Solution.

If your incoming voice chat volume is set at 100, then it might be your squadmates. Especially if they are using open mic. Open mic threshold should be lower(more sensitive) and higher(you need to speak louder). Ask them to lower this and it may solve your problem. It works for me. Other than That, no clue what else it could be. gl

Same exact issue after installing and playing with settings. I'm using an SS Arctis 5, which works fine in other online games, just not Apex.

Yeah, it's so insanely quiet at 100%. It's not the teammates, as out of the many many random trios I've played (I don't have a squad) only a few of my teammates were BARELY loud enough to hear over the game audio. Even with my headphones boosted way above what they should be and SFX at 20% in order to have voice chat louder in comparison, it's still barely usable.
It might be a big job to fix properly, as I know the likes discord has all kinds of systems voice automatic gain control, but considering that there's no exception to the fact that everyone is too quiet to hear, at least a proper volume control, where we can increase the gain above what the client is receiving, would just do wonders.
EDIT: Actually I've just realised that this was fine back in the early days before voice chat was removed from the Origin client, so it must be related to that.

Don't think so. I've been playing the game a bit lately and I haven't had many problems with the chat volume, given that my system volume is much higher than previously, which might be affecting it. It's still very quiet, but normally barely ok, which is still sad.
Not many people in OCE have mics it seems, though, hahah
