I joined the server of one of my games which has voice chat enabled and found that my microphone was stuck turned on with no way to turn it off (aside from disabling the input device). I also tried some other games and had the same problem.
Clicking on the voice chat icon does not work, and neither does clicking the microphone icon in the escape menu (next to the resume button).
I also noticed these warnings in the output:

I’ve been having the same issue. Initially the problem was when I was playing games and accidentally clicking, turning it on and off randomly (An annoying issue in itself) but now it’s always on, and in the menu it says “Connecting” despite already being connected, so I also can’t turn it off there. I tried changing inputs but that doesn’t change anything
I also have the same two warnings
We’ve filed a ticket internally, and we will update the thread when we have more information!
Thanks for the report!
Every game I join with voice chat enabled has my microphone stuck on. I try clicking the icon above my head and even going through the settings to turn it off and neither way works. I have to mute my microphone through the hardware itself rather than in game due to this.
I noticed that it’s more of a visual error than your microphone actually being toggled on.
This happened to me earlier. It seems that switching the input device in the settings and back to the one you prefer fixes the issue of being able to use your microphone.
However, the visual doesn’t update and still shows the glitched one, specifically in the escape menu.
possibly related, but are you using “Bloxstrap” by any chance?
I am not using Bloxstrap, I had not heard of it until now actually.
Is it purely visual? I mute in both places and talk into the microphone and I see the voice level display moving according to my input volume.
I will have to try switching the inputs back and forth to see if that fixes the issue, thanks!
Yeah.
Also in some rare cases I noticed, you can join the game with your microphone automatically unmuted.
The reason why I really dislike that, is because you can get banned for just having it on. I only wish to listen to people use vc due to how strict the moderation is. It’s easier to have a conversation via text chat with a user who dares to use vc.
I’m encountering this bug… still…
This has got to be quite a big privacy risk, no? Would expect Roblox to patch it quicker…
Yeah those two warning messages are still actively present in game, and there has been so many times I was talking with friends on Discord, (whom I’m more comfortable with) and almost ended up saying private stuff because Roblox simply assumed the microphone was toggled when it’s actually just an error in their code.
The only way to mute yourself is to switch the microphone input, let it process the newly selected microphone, THEN mute.
Also also, I noticed that Roblox takes way longer to start up now. It’s often to the point where the game hangs on a white screen when you first start up a game, or doesn’t show the Roblox window until the game is loaded or something.
This might be causing an issue with voice chat, because the scripts that it uses is likely depending on something that isn’t loaded yet due to this massive launch lag that the app now experiences.
The app also experiences a large lag spike that never occurs again, only shortly after launching any experience, regardless of how big or small the game is.
Hopefully this issue isn’t too difficult for engineers to fix. Maybe even making voice chat default to muting by default would be nice instead of only muting if the script loads successfully?
