Issue/bug you are reporting:
VOIP not working, and/or game freezing when VOIP does work
Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate:
For months I had an issue where I could not hear anyone in game at all, I spoke with Osvaldon about this & then eventually got it working by uninstalling & reinstalling my microphone from device manager and by making sure I start the game with a mic plugged in (or headphones plugged into the mic socket) - I can now hear people over VOIP without fail as long as I do this.
Since getting this working though, I now get game freezes frequently, every 5-30 seconds my screen will freeze for a few seconds, both the chat overlay & GTA itself. When I unplug my mic and restart, killing VOIP in the process so I can't hear anyone, the freezing stops completely so it seems like they're directly related. At least 1 other person has had this problem, can't find the post or who it was but someone on the discord helpdesk said they have the exact same issue with their USB headset.
I've been trying for so long to get back into ECRP but finding it hard with these problems. Anyone else had this or know of a fix? Surely not everyone with working VOIP also has freezing?
