Audio issue
I can’t hear my teammates, I can see that they are speaking however I can’t hear them. They can hear me just fine though.
It was working fine earlier today, communication is a key part of the game so this bug makes it unplayable.

Hello there,
Thank you for reaching out.
This lines up with a known voice chat issue we’ve been tracking where others can hear you, but you can’t hear them, even though the UI shows them talking.
A few things to try right away:
Double-check in-game audio settings
Settings → Audio / Voice Chat:
Make sure Voice Chat is enabled.
Confirm the Output Device is set to the headset/speakers you’re actually using (not a controller mic, monitor speakers, or a disabled device).
Raise Voice Chat Volume and Crew/Proximity volumes above 0.
Check platform audio
On console: verify the game audio/voice mix isn’t muted or routed to a different device (for PS5/Xbox, check the console’s voice/chat output device and chat/game balance).
On PC: in your OS sound settings, confirm:
Default output device is the same one selected in-game.
If you’re using a headset with multiple channels (game vs chat), try switching to that or toggling off any virtual devices.
Quick reset
Fully close Marathon and your platform, reboot once, and retest with a fresh lobby.
I have a similar bug.
