Fixed in 4.13
Hi, we’re wondering if anyone has successfully implemented OnlineSubsystem voice chat. We’ve tried to implement both always-on and PushToTalk voice. In any case, when voice is enabled, it works for short 1-5 second bursts, stops working entirely for 10-15 seconds, and repeats that cycle. We’ve checked hardware settings and have made sure that mics/speakers work over skype. There doesn’t seem to be any voice-related documentation yet, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
To enable voice, we’re doing the following:
IOnlineSubsystem* ion = IOnlineSubsystem::Get(FName("Steam"));
if (ion == nullptr)
{
return;
}
ion->GetVoiceInterface()->StartNetworkedVoice(0);
Here are the relevant parts of our DefaultEngine.ini:
[/Script/Engine.GameEngine]
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="GameNetDriver",DriverClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver")
[OnlineSubsystem]

Thanks!
