Recently i discovered that roblox has new voice chat update.
So… I’d like to know how to mute a player via local script.
If anyone has any knowledge on this that would be appreciatable!

maybe this will help you with your issue!

Mute certain player's voice chat through script

As the user said, it’s impossible, but you can set up a fake voice box for each player. Then, when you mute someone, move that new fake voice box to a null position or a position that no one can be near. This will make it so you cannot hear that player. I use this type of system for my Voicechat testing game to make it so you can listen to all players from any distance or only specific players. If you need any more help, don’t be shy and let me know! ~ Sincerely, Ihaveash0rtname “Happy Scripti…

So… I’d like to know how to mute a player via local script.

In order to locally mute another player with the new Audio API, you’ll need to reference that player’s AudioDeviceInput and set its Muted property to true.

As an example:

1. Create a ScreenGui and add a Frame into it.

2. Add a TextBox, a TextButton, and a LocalScript into the frame.

   • The TextBox would be where you can type the name of another player in the game
   • Afterwards, the TextButton would be pressed when a player wants to locally mute / unmute that player.

3. In the LocalScript, we need to do the following things:

   • Listen for the TextButton to be pressed with the Activated event.

   • Check if the Text that the player typed into the TextBox is the name of another player that is currently in the game.

   • If that player is in the game, check if there is an AudioDeviceInput that was created for that player (which will be added to the player object, by default, if the player has voice chat enabled and the VoiceChatService.EnableDefaultVoice property is enabled.

   • If an AudioDeviceInput was found, update its Muted property to the opposite value of what it currently is (so that if the player isn’t locally muted, it will mute them, but if they have already been muted, it will unmute them).

Here’s an example of what the code for the LocalScript might look like:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local Frame = script.Parent
local TextBox = Frame:WaitForChild("TextBox")
local TextButton = Frame:WaitForChild("TextButton")

TextButton.Activated:Connect(function()
    local Text = TextBox.Text
    if Text == nil then return end

    local lowercaseTextBoxText = string.lower(Text)


    local player
    for _, otherPlayer in Players:GetPlayers() do
        local lowercasePlayerName = string.lower(otherPlayer.Name)

        if lowercasePlayerName == lowercaseTextBoxText then
            player = otherPlayer
            break
        end
    end

    if not player then return end

    local AudioDeviceInput = player:FindFirstChildOfClass("AudioDeviceInput")
    if not AudioDeviceInput then return end

    local currentValue = AudioDeviceInput.Muted
    AudioDeviceInput.Muted = not currentValue
end)
