Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) Teammate Mic Glitch: Here’s how to fix it

As a seasoned BGMI gamer with countless hours under my belt, I must say that this latest mic glitch is nothing short of frustrating. It’s like being in the heat of battle, coordinating strategies with your squad, and suddenly finding yourself in a deafening silence. It’s akin to being at a rock concert without earplugs – you know everyone else can hear the music, but you’re left in blissful ignorance.

Title Game of Choice: Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI)

How the mic glitch in BGMI is happening

Differently from past problems, this current one can happen at various stages of the game – whether in the lobby, the spawn island, or during battles. You and your team may be chatting, only for everything to go quiet unexpectedly. It’s also possible that the issue arises when either you or a teammate receives a notification from an app on their mobile device or takes a call.

The issue with the lobby microphone malfunction occurs most often. Upon re-entering the lobby following a game, you’ll likely observe that the microphone and speaker icons for your teammate have turned red, signifying they cannot hear or communicate anything at this moment.

The most irritating part of this glitch is that it is not getting fixed even after restarting the game. In the previous versions, to fix the mic glitch you would have to restart the game along with your teammates to hear properly. The case is not the same this time.

How is the mic glitch affecting the players

From a laid-back gamer’s standpoint, the joy of playing is often about relaxing and socializing with friends. However, when an issue like this arises, the very essence of that gaming experience becomes compromised because there’s no audio communication. Moreover, climbing ranks to reach Conqueror or Ace levels requires seamless teamwork, which can be challenging when faced with this glitch as effective communication is crucial for a well-coordinated gameplay.

In the esports scene, the mic glitch is very annoying because when you are playing professionally in scrims, it is quite essential to communicate with your teammates to play and operate seamlessly. When you are in a scrim match, you do not have enough time to focus on these things because every second counts.

You now comprehend why the mic glitch is causing trouble among the players. During the latest BGMI 3.5 version update podcast, the speakers acknowledged this problem and assured their listeners that they will soon deliver a reliable solution in the upcoming update, scheduled for release next week.
