Teamwork is one of the most important aspects of Peak. In the game, when you are climbing to the top, you and your team will need to communicate consistently to ensure that you all are on the same page. If there’s no coordination, there’s no getting out of the island you are stranded on. However, recent reports have brought to light that the in-game voice chat system isn’t working for some. If you too are encountering the same issue, consider reading this guide for workarounds.

Peak Game Voice Chat Not Working Issue: Is there any fix yet
For now, there’s no official fix for this issue, but one of the game’s developers has shared a few workarounds to fix it. We have included all those workarounds along with a few extras. So, continue reading.
Restart
If you are reading this guide, it’s obvious that you’ve restarted the game at least once, but it didn’t work, which is why you are searching for solutions online. Well, consider restarting your PC as well. If a PC restart didn’t fix the issue, try the next workaround.
Check mic access
If your teammates can’t hear you but you can hear them, there is a possibility that the game doesn’t have access to your system’s mic. To rule this possibility out, go to Windows Settings, select Privacy and Security, and then scroll down to the App permission option. Now, select Microphone. Here, make sure that Peak has access to your microphone.
Graphics API
You and your friends should be on the same Graphics API to ensure that no error occurs. When you launch the game, you will get the option to launch it using Vulkan or DirectX. Use the Vulkan or DirectX option and then ask your friends to also select the same. Now, enter a lobby and then check whether the voice chat feature works.
Antivirus
It is possible that your system’s antivirus program is blocking the game’s access to your microphone. In that case, it’s best to just whitelist the game’s .exe file in the antivirus program and then launch it to check whether the issue persists.
Disable Audio Programs like VoiceMeeter
If you are using applications like VoiceMeeter or VoiceMod, consider disabling them before launching the game, as they might be the reason why the game’s voice chat system is acting weird.
Disable Background Noise Suppression setting
As shared by the developer, disabling such a setting on your microphone via applications like the Razer app might help. Some players did share that doing so fixed the issue for them, so give it a try.
Change Input device
A player was able to fix this issue by simply changing their input device in the game’s audio settings. To do this, launch the game, and then go to Settings. Here, select the Audio tab, and then in the Input option, change the microphone input setting, and then restart the game. This should fix the issue.
Disable Pi-hole
If you are using Pi-hole to disable ads on your system, consider disabling it before launching the game. It might be blocking you from accessing the game’s voice servers.
With that said, now you know all about how to fix the voice chat not working issue in Peak. We hope that you find this guide informative. If you did, consider visiting Android Gram for more such interesting reads on all things gaming.
