VOIPTalker and 5.6

b1gdaddybear · July 1, 2025, 2:42am

Hi there

Anyone else having issues with VOIPTalker not producing the sounds recorded by the mic?

Is this a bug?

I’m getting this in the Error Log:

Ok - as is my own personal tradition I’m answering my own question.

To resolve my issue, when using Sound Attenuation - ensure that you are attaching it to a component on your character (Camera or Mesh). Otherwise it does jack all.

This also affects the loudness of recording being played back (voice.MicInputGain = 1) as well (because your mic recording is not being attenuated into the scene).

Sing out if you need any help in this space yourself… I’ve wrestled with 1000 variants.

We are attaching it to our capsule component but still are getting no audio

this is what we have in our DefaultEngine.ini

[Voice]
bEnabled=true
[OnlineSubsystem]
DefaultPlatformService=SteamCore
bHasVoiceEnabled=true
[/Script/Engine.GameSession]
bRequiresPushToTalk=true

it still doesnt work for us

Hey Mate!

I was wondering if you could help us with a problem we have with proximity chat.

We currently create a voip talker on the player blueprint. Then we register it to the player state and set its settings. We als add attenuation settings.

When we test it through steam, everything works for the host, he hears the client and when the client walks further away, the client becomes less loud. thats great. BUT the Client can always hear the host, no matter how far the host is, its like the attenuation is not working for the client.

Do you think you can help us with that!

Kind regards Mileman!
