please help! New router won’t let me join game chat
I’m at my wits end I have tried everything, I have a NAT type 2 I can talk in party chat just fine but game chat on every game I’m muted and so is everyone else. I have tried it all, I did the DMZ I tried port forwarding I assigned a new IP. And nothing. The only difference is my new router could it be the geofliter? I removed all devices as well and I still can’t talk in game chat or hear anyone else. Please help!

If you switch the Geo-Filter to Spectating Mode, can you then here everyone? The fact you don't have any devices added though should mean this is either just a port issue, or something else e.g. in-game setting.
One way to confirm for sure is to connect your device to your modem. Do you have the same problem then or does it go away?
