FIFA 23 Commentary not working: How to fix it
The issue with in-game commentary that players are facing in FIFA 23 is due to the fact that the game doesn’t come with audio support for the selected language. However, as per reports, some are facing this issue even after selecting a supported language in the game. So, here are some workarounds to fix it-
1) Update your audio drivers:
Go to Device Manager and select the Audio inputs and outputs option. Here, right-click on the Output device of your choice and select the option that says “Check for driver updates”. If there are any pending updates, download the drivers for that particular device. After that, restart your system.
2) Reconnect your audio device:
If you are using an external audio device for in-game audio, unplug it from your system and then plug it in again. Now, you should be able to hear the in-game commentary.
3) Change the audio from 5.1 to Stereo:
This fix is for those users who have Realtek Audio Console. Go to the console configuration and change the Sound settings to Stereo or Quadraphonic from 5.1. After that, try opening the game.
4) Change the game language on Steam:
If you are playing the game via Steam, right-click on FIFA 23 from the Steam Library. Now, select Properties and go to the Language tab. Here, change the language of the game to a different language(preferably English). Now, the language pack will be downloaded. After this, start the game. You can repeat this process and select a different language of your choice.
5) Change the language via game files:

Do note that the language you selected should be supported by the game.
