How to Turn on Microphone in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

To enable the microphone and set up voice chat in the military shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, we recommend following the steps (may vary depending on the platform, but the basic settings remain the same) listed below.

Step-by-step instructions for enabling voice chat and microphone

  1. Open the settings menu in the game. Go to the “Audio” section by clicking on the “gear” icon in the upper right corner of the main screen.
  2. Find the Voice Chat section. Make sure that the Voice Chat option is enabled. To do this, find the Voice Chat item and set it to On. This is the main setting that activates the microphone for communicating with other players.
  3. Set up your voice channel settings. Check the Voice Chat Channel setting. It is recommended to select the Party Only option to communicate exclusively with friends in a separate party. If you want to hear and talk to any player on the current team, select All.
  4. Adjust the chat volume. Make sure that the Voice Chat Volume is set correctly. For comfortable communication, it is recommended to set this parameter to about 50% or slightly higher. If necessary, you can adjust the volume of players individually in the Social menu.
  5. Check the audio output device. Make sure that the correct audio output is selected for the microphone. To do this, set the Voice Chat Output Device option to Default System Device or to a specific device if one is listed.

Additional tips

  • Platform differences : To check if your microphone is active on a PlayStation or Xbox console, go to their settings. Also make sure your microphone is not physically muted (for example, using a button on your headphones or remote control).
  • Testing the microphone . Use the “Test Microphone” function to make sure that your voice is recognized correctly. If your voice is not heard, check the device settings at the operating system level. This is a completely separate topic.
  • Microphone problems . If after all these manipulations the microphone does not work, try restarting the game, and also check for audio driver updates (for PC).
