Before diving into the audio settings, make sure you are not in a party chat. Being in a party chat prevents the use of voice chat within the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game, as developers designed it this way.
1. Test Your Audio Devices
Since the source of the problem often lies with audio settings, it’s wise to start by testing your audio devices to confirm that Windows is detecting them. If they are recognized, the issue possibly rests within your game’s audio settings.
2. Set Audio Devices as Default Communication Devices
When there are multiple audio devices connected to a PC, it is important to set one as the default communication device to prevent applications from selecting the incorrect one.
3. Check the In-Game Voice Settings
Once you’ve configured the Windows audio settings, the next step is to examine the in-game audio settings to ensure they are properly configured. Adjust settings within the game by going to Options > Audio
4. Prevent Applications from Taking Exclusive Control of Audio Devices
Issues with voice chat can arise if another application is using your microphone.
5. Ensure the Game Has Microphone Access
Make sure that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre has permission to access your microphone by checking the Windows privacy settings.
6. Verify the Game Files
Corrupted game files may be another reason for voice chat not working.
7. Reinstall the Audio Driver
If you are still experiencing issues, the problem may be with corrupted audio drivers. Reinstalling the driver could correct the problem.
8. Submit a Support Ticket
Finally, if the problem persists, it may be time to contact the Texas Chainsaw Massacre support team with a support ticket. Having tried all other solutions, engaging with support may be your next best step. Draft an email detailing your issue and send it to txchainsawsupport@fearthegun.com. After sending the email, wait for a response from the support team, who will address your situation assuming your input/output devices are functioning correctly.
