Problem with voice chat in Fortnite

[Matt129]

Hello everyone, I’m having a very annoying problem with my voice chat in Fortnite. It will randomly stop working and say that voice channel is available, but is greyed and won’t let me select it. And then it will just come back, randomly, without me changing any settings. Any ideas as to what I should do are appreciated

No, I use open mic. It won’t even let me join the channel even though it says channel available.

Any fix for this. Fortnite shows that there is "Game channel available" and "Party channel available" but no actual channels to join. I'm not in a voice chat so I cant here them and they can't hear me. My wife beside me on PS5 is fine and can talk to our friends. I have completely reset the PC, windows 11 reformat. and every other game can hear me, as well as every speaker/mic test under the sun. I'm stumped. Fortnite support just keeps sending me the same troubleshooting steps.

I will legit paypal someone $20AUD to fix it . Pic for reference. Despite my fiends being in party chat, I can't see it. Been told by epic parental controls are off and they have reset my configuration profile on their servers. I'm set to open mic, everybody chat. An elgato wave-3 and a razer something or other headset. Game audio is fine. Please anyone.

Mine also started this start of week, wonder if it was a broken patch? either by MS or Epic.

The only thing that seems to fix it for me is if I sign out of my epic account and sign back in (which only works 3/10 times) or a full computer bluescreen. If you can force a bluescreen it works pretty reliably . Don’t actually do that btw lol
