With another Call of Duty comes more opportunities for game chat audio to stop working.

Here’s how to fix MW2 voice chat not working on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

How to fix MW2 voice chat not working

To fix the Modern Warfare 2 voice chat not working error, players should:

  • Ensure all of your audio devices are set up correctly.
    • Heads into both system and console settings and ensure both your game and chat audio are correctly set up.
    • Note that updates to the game and/or system can reset audio settings, so make sure this hasn’t happened to you.
  • Make sure you aren’t muted.
    • It might sound silly, but there are multiple ways to mute your microphone and the microphones of others.
    • Ensure “Voice Chat” is enabled in the Audio settings and make sure both your system’s audio and the headset, if it has a separate volume wheel and/or mute switch, are unmuted.
  • Wait for a fix to the “Voice service unavailable” error.
    • Developer Infinity Ward has already acknowledged the issue affecting PS4 players, so there will hopefully be a fix rolling out soon.

If none of the above fix suggestions don’t help solve the issue, contacting Activision Support is the next best step.
