Hell Let Loose VoIP Xbox Fix

Being a very team-oriented game, Hell Let Loose is almost impossible to play without any voice chat. That is why the resolving of an issue like VoIP not working is crucial.

There are more than a few things that can cause your Xbox to have issues with VoIP, so we’ll go through them all and hopefully help you fix it. Follow our guides for each fix carefully to get back on the voice chat.

Update Controller

Yeah, as always, the first thing to try to do is simply update anything affected by the issue. For this VoIP problem, you’ll need to press the Xbox button and go to Profile and System > Settings > Devices and Connections > Accessories.

Even if you regularly update your controller, make sure you give this one a check since you’ll never know when a new update will drop.

Clear the Mac Address

Clearing an alternate Mac address is another way you can try to fix this issue. To do it, go to Xbox settings > Network > Advanced Settings > Change Settings > Alternate MAC Address > Clear. You might be asked to restart the device. If that happens, do it.

Uplugg Everything and Reset Xbox

If you have unnecessary USB things connected to your Xbox, try unplugging them right away and leave only your headphones + any other must-have peripherals. Reset or Hard reset (turn off the Xbox by holding the Power button and then unplug it for 5 minutes) the console after that to allow things to settle and check if your VoIP works.

Check if Your Headset is Working

Your headset, as well as all things digital, has a certain lifespan. Even if you think it’s too early for it to die on you, always double-check if it’s operational by plugging it into another device. If the headset is working on other devices but not on Xbox when you’re playing Hell Let Loose, then it’s not the headset’s problem.

Clear Data

One of the most common fixes for issues on smartphones is simply this – clear the app data, and that’s what I believe can help you with Hell Let Loose VoIP problem. Go to Settings > Storage > Clear local saved data. Keep in mind that this move will delete games saved on your hard drive, but they will be saved to the cloud.
