Random Voice Chat Audio Volume Fluctuation

Status:	In Progress
Priority:	High
Added by:	danivr on November 30, '25
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	Early Access - v0.17.70 Auto

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a party call on Meta Quest with a group of friends before launching the game.
2. Ensure the volume is normal during the party call.
3. Load the game, and verify that the volume is normal in the main menu of Forefront.
4. Enter into a game server with your friends by clicking 'Join' on their friend list in the Forefront menu.
5. Observe that the volume of the voice should now be barely audible, if not, wait a little bit for it to start happening.
6. Exit the Meta Quest call by clicking 'App', and note that the situation will not change.
7. Close the entire audio call, and note that the situation will not change (the audio of teammate voices is still very low amplitude).
8. The audio of teammates should randomly go back and forth between low and normal volume.
9. Play the game and observe that the voices randomly change to higher volume, ruining everything.
10. Go into game options/audio settings/lower the SFX volume to match the voices and rise up the Meta Quest main volume to MIX.
11. Observe that the voices randomly change again to higher volume, making it useless.
12. Note that the bug is happening in every game session since many times.

Explanation

The audio of the voice chat drops randomly to very low, back and forth to normal sometimes. The teammates are barely audible, sometimes one of them may have the right volume but the others are barely audible. Other players from other teams have the right volume but the teammates are still barely audible. The game is barely enjoyable with a group of friends because of this audio bug. The bug is happening every day, at every match, it’s constantly happening.
