Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Expected behavior: I can join community servers with voice chat enabled the whole time.
Actual behavior: Voice chat is disabled when a community server changes maps or upon leaving in some cases. This happens even in a completely vanilla server. IDK where to find the relevant logs for this issue since it doesn't crash the game, sorry!
Voice chat can be partially restored while "Hear My Own Voice" is turned on in audio settings. It is crackly, but I believe this is due to loopback having a higher sample rate than voice chat.
Once the issue occurs, the only way to permanently restore voice chat is to restart the game; leaving a server and rejoining does not restore voice chat once it is gone, although voice chat is kept if disconnected using console before map change in some instances.
This bug seems to have been added in the Fire Sale update.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Join a server with voice chat enabled
- Stay on the server when the game ends and changes maps (or merely disconnect from some servers)
- Attempt to use voice chat on new map, seeing if it works or not
Also happens sometimes when you leave/crash from a competitive game and rejoin.
can confirm this, when you have voice_loopback true, you can't even hear your own voice
I confirmed that I had so many reports from the server that I thought it was something with the server and I had to reinstall everything step by step, the maximum I managed to achieve was 5 maps in rotation without errors in microphone communication and so it crashes for everyone after changing the map and only turning the game off and on helps...eveything started after 25.05.2024 game update.
Update: turning on "Hear My Own Voice" in audio settings sometimes restores voice chat, albeit in a very distorted manner. The original issue will be edited to account for this, and a video demonstration will be provided here: https://youtu.be/QQar8X7b6CA
this issue happens on workshop servers for me, everything works fine on official maps.

don't worry we will get an fix in 4 years like with the fake servers
This bug happens to me for official maps too. For example only on Vertigo but not other maps.
The server you play on probably has multiaddonmanager plugin or something that loads workshop content before you join
I've been told it happens on both vanilla servers and maps, so I'm keeping the title what it is now to be accurate to everyone's experience with the bug so far.
It even happen when you use workshop for addons such music,sounds,models overall there is an problem with workshop usage
I bet it won't be fixed even when this issue gets 1000 likes
edit: they did some changes but still buggy on my server
