Check the test scope
- Check the current playlist description and linked EA announcement. A missing option in regular Multiplayer need not be a defect.
- Install offered updates before comparing available audio options.
02
Compare squad voice
- Test the microphone with a squadmate. If squad voice works, document the missing proximity feature specifically.
- If nothing transmits, check Windows microphone permissions, input selection and mute state as general diagnostics.
03
Report a reproducible case
- Record the playlist, platform, build and whether the option is absent or an available channel is silent.
- Report that distinction in EA Forums. Configuration edits cannot unlock a feature that has not been made available.

Frequently asked questions
Is squad chat the same feature?
No. Test the channels separately to avoid resetting a working microphone unnecessarily.
