FIXED: Overwatch sound not working

How to fix  overwatch sound not working

Fix 1: Update the audio driver of your PC

What happens if the voice chat in Overwatch on Windows 10 still does not work after trying the previous method?

Well, if the simple changes in Overwatch didn't help, now is the time to investigate the true cause.

First, examine the basic requirement to use audio in Windows 10: the audio driver of your PC. You may have the wrong audio driver or be outdated. This means searching for the correct audio driver online and installing it.

However, a more convenient and safe method is to use Auslogics Driver Updater. This way, you can easily update your driver with just one click and know that you have installed the correct driver that will not damage your computer.
Why should Auslogics Driver Updater be used? Here are some reasons:

    Convenient and easy driver updates with one click.
    It prevents conflicts of controllers and guarantees a smooth operation of the hardware.
    It automatically recognizes your system and identifies the correct drivers that are suitable for it.
    Do not worry if you install the wrong drivers or know the requirements of your system.
    Free scanning of missing or obsolete drivers.
    One-click download of all necessary drivers with the Pro version.
    24/7 support with a 60-day money back guarantee.
    Make a backup for security reasons so you can go back to the previous drivers if you wish.

Here’s how you can easily use Auslogics Driver Updater to update your PC’s audio driver:

    Download and install the Auslogics Driver Updater.
    Once you run Auslogics Driver Updater, the missing or obsolete drivers will be searched on the computer.
    After scanning, Auslogics Driver Updater displays a list of the necessary drivers.
    You can click to update everything, or simply select and update the PC audio driver. If you have not yet purchased the premium version, you will be redirected to a payment page.
    After activating the premium version, Auslogics Driver Updater updates its drivers.
    Once the drivers are updated, you can restart your computer.

After turning on the computer again, check if the problem with Overwatch voice chat does not work. 



Fix 2: Check the Overwatch audio settings in the game
The problem could be the audio settings in Overwatch.

By changing the settings, voice chat can come back to life immediately. Follow this steps to solve the problem:

       Open Overwatch, click Options and select Sound.
       Increase the volume of your microphone or speakers to an audible level.
       Make sure TEAM VOICE CHAT and GROUP VOICE CHAT are set to AUTO JOIN.
       Make sure the correct devices for VOICE CHAT DEVICES are selected.
       Change the keyboard shortcut for Voice Chat when Voice Chat is set to "Push To Talk." This means that "Push to Talk" in the "Controls" menu is changed to another key.

Then join the team chat. Now test if the Overwatch voice chat issue was fixed.

Razer huntsman elite vs Blackwidow elite Which would I buy?

Razer huntsman elite vs Blackwidow elite RAZER HUNTSMAN ELITE:   The keyboard came in a brown Razer huntsman elite box, not in the elegant package that received new items. It was wrapped in plastic and even contained the original manual and Razer stickers. If I didn't know better, I would think this is a new keyboard. Not a single defect. When I registered it on the Razer website with the serial number and product number, it showed that I had a 2-year warranty. Previously I had a Redragon K551 Wand. This keyboard had blue keys, which I thought were very strong. This Razer feels much better and is not as loud as the last keyboard. The lighting is nice and bright and is synchronized with my other Razer products and my Thermaltake products through Razer Synapse 3. When I play certain games like Call of Duty Black Ops 4, the lighting changes according to my character and when I die it is great. You could also set effects in Synapse 3 so that WASD remains red while the rest...

Jess McDonell's Most Anticipated Game of 2019: The Outer Worlds

Obsidian Entertainment gaming has proven time and again that they create great single-player RPGs. Her next project is The Outer Worlds, created by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, known for their work on Fallout 1 and Fallout 2. The first-person-action RPG will appear on PC, PS4 and Xbox One and is set in a future in which mega-corporations will colonize and terraform new planets. It starts with the player leaving the cryosleep on a colony ship, only to find that the other inhabitants have not yet awakened. The outer worlds include the management of NPC factions, as well as a story that changes direction according to the player's choice. Right now it looks and sounds like a mish-mash of Fallout, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect, and I'm very much on board. There seems to be a lot of focus on vivid characters and environments, with a great sense of humor. It's wonderful to see a hardcore RPG that does not take you too seriously and I hope that sense of ...
