Why Your Voice Chat Might Not Be Working in Marvel Rivals
First, let’s understand why this is happening. Many players have reported that they can hear others but can’t speak themselves. The issue seems to pop up randomly – you might be chatting fine one day, and the next day nothing works. It’s frustrating, but there’s usually a fix that will work for your situation.
Most Effective Way to Fix Marvel Rivals Voice Chat on PC
If you’re playing Marvel Rivals on PC, here’s what you need to try. I’ve ordered these fixes from the simplest to the most complex ones:
1. Windows Sound Settings Fix
This is the easiest fix that has worked for most players. Here are the steps:
- Right-click your volume icon.
- Open the Sound Setting.
- Manually set the microphone input there.
- Then, open Marvel Rivals and click Settings.
- Select the Audio tab.
- Verify these settings:
- Master Volume: Turned up
- In-game Voice Volume: Turned up
- Voice Chat: Toggled ON
- Input Device: Same as your Windows settings
- Voice Chat Mode: Choose “Open Mic” or “Push to Talk”
- Voice Chat Volume: Turned up
- Microphone Volume: Turned up




Many players have reported this instantly solved their problems.
2. The Discord Conflict Solution
A lot of players discovered that Discord was causing problems with Marvel Rival’s voice chat. These are the complete steps:
- Ensure Discord is fully closed in Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
- Find your Discord shortcut on your desktop.
- Right-click the Discord icon.
- Click the Run this program as administrator button.
- Check if your voice chat is working in Marvel Rivals after these steps.


It’s a bit annoying to do this every time, but it actually works for many players.
3. Router and Network Fix
According to one Marvel Rivals player on Reddit, the issue seems to be related to both Pi-hole and UDM Pro routers. Think of them as security guards for your internet connection. Sometimes, these guards can be a bit too strict and block things they shouldn’t. In this case, they’re blocking the connection that Marvel Rivals needs for voice chat to work.
For Pi-hole Users:
- To allow Marvel Rivals voice chat, add who.nie.easebar.com to your Pi-hole whitelist.
- Restart your Pi-hole for the changes to take effect.
For UDM Pro Router Users:
- Log in to your router’s settings.
- Go to the firewall settings, but do not turn the firewall off.
- Add an exception for who.nie.easebar.com to allow the connection.
- Restart your router to apply the changes.
Many players have confirmed that this fix worked for them as well.
4. Stop Using Screen Recording Software
Many players have reported that game recording software can conflict with Marvel Rivals voice chat. Let’s say you have Overwolf installed on your PC. Before you play, open the application and stop the automatic recording for Marvel Rivals. Then, close the application completely. So, if you’re having issues, try playing without any recording software running first to isolate the problem.
