Voice stops working after plugging or unplugging a headset mid-session

The game chose its audio device when it started. Changing headsets afterwards does not move it.

What you see

  • Voice worked, then stopped after a device was connected or disconnected
  • Game audio may have moved to another device at the same moment

What usually causes it

  • The game captured the audio device at startup and does not follow Windows default changes
  • The new device became the default for playback but not for communications, or vice versa

Worth checking first

  • Check both default devices after the change
  • Ask whether the problem started exactly at the moment of plugging in

Safe steps, one at a time

  • Set the device you want as both default and default communications device
  • Restart FiveM so it picks up the new device
  • Avoid switching audio devices mid-session where you can

These are suggestions, not instructions. Do only what you are comfortable with, back up anything important first, and stop if a step does not match what is on your screen. Advice, risk and responsibility.

When to stop and ask staff

Never an AGN issue.
