How to Stop Audio Radar from Reacting to Voice Chat | System-Specific Guide

Do the light bars activate when teammates are talking?

Yes, Audio Radar processes all audio that runs through it, including voice chat from teammates. This means the light bars may activate in response to conversations, just as they do for in-game sounds like footsteps and gunfire. However, how you control or filter voice chat audio depends on your system.
