Steam chat doesn't work after 5 seconds

I am using Steam chat and have the following problem: I can connect to a group chat, where everything works fine until ~5 seconds in, when my friends keep hearing me, but I can't hear them. Furthermore, it is clear that I am not receiving any data/voice from them, as their icons do not show the green line that indicates that they are talking, while my icon shows it. Sometimes, and very randomly, this issue doesn't happen and everything works fine. This can be achieved by disconnecting and reconnecting several times to the chat, which is very annoying to do. What is wrong with my configuration?

Thank you for your help!!

Could be own network issue or need push to talk, if you keep sending voice out, its years ago we see such 5 sec issue and then it work again.

Feel free to check for sound drivers and other update to your pc.

And check discord mic play back test if you can catch some not played back right issue, just incase this is the problem.

Hey, so I doubt it's sound drivers (and if it is, I wouldn't know how to check it) as it randomly decides to work fine. Also discord works perfectly 100% of the time. Anyways, I've updated anything just in case. Now, about the network, that was my first guess, but it's weird that it works at first, and then doesn't. Also, weird that some times it just works fine. Perhaps it could be some kind of firewall problem?

Thats why i want you to check with discord, to make sure your gear seem to work.

Firewall
No i doubt that, ( firewall ahs a a way with show signs as do not work at all, they eother block you from sctes not in the middle of already use it.

Feeel free to reduce steam usage of resource to see if that help.

Try see steam library setting to reduce steam usgae of it resources, i doubt its this, but what else can i and other suggest.

Clear DL cache to delete web browser data page cache or steam flush cmd ( google it. )

Even rteinstall steam over current to fix steam issue , if that even help.

Because whats nets you make steam ticket

make sure PC BIOS and Chipset driver is update, dont get caught in PC not update.
same as be a win10+ ( dont have past OS even that could matter, we will not ask you are you a past OS users anymore, because most already know past OS have more and more issue.
