Sometimes in a match i cant talk i only notice this when im queued with other people because they will tell me that i cannot be heard in game. So im not sure if its intermittent, in game i have the mic icon so i should be able to talk. But i cannot be heard by other players and i cannot hear other players. How do i fix this or is this a bug with the game
