Players in Elite Dangerous have identified a bug where the in-game voice chat mute toggle does not actually mute their microphone. Despite the interface showing the mute status as active, other commanders report still hearing the muted player’s voice. Testing with external apps like Discord confirms the voice feed remains live even when toggled off in-game. This glitch raises concerns over communication control and privacy during multiplayer sessions. As of July 1, 2026, the issue remains unresolved with no official fix announced, prompting players to seek workarounds or developer response.
- Mute indicator shows active but voice remains audible.
- Issue confirmed through external voice app testing.
