There are a lot of potential issues players can run into when it comes to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. One of the most frustrating errors, especially for parties, is whenever you get the voice service unavailable MW3 bug and Warzone error. Here’s how to fix this annoying issue.
Voice Service Unavailable MW3 Error Explained
First and foremost, it is vital you understand what is going on with this voice service unavailable error. This issue is possible on all platforms, from PlayStation to Xbox to PC. The crux of the issue has to do with your voice chat, which is unavailable when this error happens.
This means you are unable to chat with others online, be it at parties or just with random players you meet in matches. It is likely you will still be able to hear them, but they will not be able to hear you. This can be super annoying when trying to coordinate attacks in Ranked Play matches and the like.
How to Fix MW3 Voice Service Unavaiable Error
Fortunately, there are a couple of potential fixes for the voice service unavailable error in MW3 and Warzone. The first thing I recommend you do is to unplug your headset, microphone, and the like and replug them back in. From there, you now want to open up the settings. Under your settings, you want to look for the Audio settings and then the Voice Chat option.
Toggle it off and then on again. Also, disconnect and reconnect if you are on a party channel. This refreshes the entire voice chat system in case there are any issues with your headset. Restart the game from here and see if it works. If it still doesn’t work, try out your headset on another game. If it works on that game, it may be an issue with Activision’s servers. In that case, submit an error report here to, hopefully, speed up a hotfix.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is available right now for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
