VOIP echo

[DEATHLOK]

I posted about this bug a couple years back; it has not gone away. I am better able to nail down when it happens.

Players on the same home network can experience an echo of in-game VOIP communications. In my situation, with one player hard wired to the router and other players connecting wirelessly, the echo is heard by everyone in the squad. The only remedy I've had thus far is to quit the squad and reform. The echo will vanish after doing this once or twice—usually.

 

Thanks.

How close are the other players sitting next to each other?  I could be that their speakers are leaking into each other's and this would cause feedback.  A way to remedy this would be for everyone to use headphones.

Opposite sides of the house.

The echo is NOT being produced by speaker feedback or the like. It happens with both headsets and external speakers. There is no whine or screech. It is a digital echo. It does not fade; each echo in the series is of the same volume as the original sounds. It is created by the game.

Something about two players on the same home network is causing it.

When it happens, anyone joining the squad will hear it, as well.

We have tried every possible combination of speaker settings in the game's Audio menu, to no avail.

OK, we'll look into it.

Thanks, guys. Maybe I'm the only one on the planet getting this! If there is anything I need to do, such as record it, just let me know.
