Separate a local microphone problem from a channel, session, or known-service issue before changing unrelated game files.
First confirm that the game is receiving the intended microphone and that you joined the intended voice channel. A working device in another app does not prove Hell Let Loose: Vietnam selected it, and hearing general game audio does not prove the VOIP connection is active.
Use this sequence:
- Check the platform or Windows input device and microphone permission.
- Verify push-to-talk binding and the current squad, proximity, or command channel.
- Leave and rejoin the voice channel if the interface provides that option, then reconnect to the server.
- Restart the game after an update; do not assume a suspended console session has refreshed services.
- Read the current official known-issues and Patch 1.2 notes for a matching symptom.
- If it persists, report platform, game version, server region, channel, and whether transmit/receive indicators appear.
Avoid deleting settings or reinstalling before basic input and service checks. Those larger steps can erase useful context and do not distinguish a local device problem from an active VOIP incident.

Why can I hear the game but not my squad?
Confirm the selected voice channel and input first, then reconnect voice or the session and compare the symptom with the current known-issues post.
