TS3/TFAR Bug: People cannot hear me despite Teamspeak saying im transmitting

USING TEAMSPEAK FOR ARMA 3 COMMUNICATION.
TFAR Bug: People cannot hear me, but I hear them & Vice versa.

It is not my Microphone causing the problem. I know how to change inputs, set system defaults, etc.

The error occurs for both myself and others in varying ways as follows:

  • I can hear others, but they cannot hear me.
  • I can hear others, but they cannot hear me in proximity chat. If I use a Radio, they can hear me over the radio but not proximity.
  • Others can SEE my overhead indicator & even my character’s mouth movements as if I am talking when I really am talking, but they cannot actually hear my voice.
  • After death, being rendered unconscious, or tabbing out, these errors reoccur.

During these bugs it is very consistent that my overhead indicator tells others i am speaking, but they do not hear my voice. The teamspeak application relays this too, my bubble for voice activity reacts precisely with my voice & shows when input is made.

The only temporary fix I have found is to fiddle with my mic input, apply random changes, or outright reconnect to the Teamspeak server which I am in. None of these work in any particular order & I cannot tell what solves the issue. But it doesn’t matter because none of these ever solve the issue permanently, not even for the duration of the session.

I am using Teamspeak 3.6.0 on the Teamspeak 3 client.
I am Using TFAR as an addon to ts3, along with JLTS The Great war, & CBA_A3 as it’s dependencies.

I am using a Logitech Headset w/ mic which has great quality. Voicemod is used as the microphone technically, which is system defaulted & correctly recognized by teamspeak 3. A few months ago I rarely encountered these kind of errors while using the exact same setup. Additionally, Voicemod encounters no errors on any other applications which use the system default microphone.

I do not have any noise suppression enabled nor use voice changers.

If any other information is needed please reply, this is making my Arma 3 unit thoroughly unplayable because I cannot communicate with my squadron, & it is endlessly infuriating. I don’t understand why Teamspeak 3 cannot just function properly & what is causing such a catastrophic issue as to make it fail every 10 minutes.

our squad uses TS and the sound is having horrible problems for everyone lately. almost every day people cannot be heard. I am surprised this is continuing so long. I don’t run the server. it is on our squad server, but we have used TS for decades.

Hey there, TFAR (Task Force Arrowhead Radio) is a TeamSpeak plugin/addon that is not being developed or maintained by us. If you have any issues with the plugin/addon, please contact the addon developers for help.
