Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Voice chat disconnects when playing a multiplayer game.
My user stays in the lobby, but my friends can't hear me, and I don't hear them.
Once disconnected, I need to fully restart Steam.

Starting voice chat after the game may work.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Joining voice chat
  2. Hosting/joining any game
  3. Voice issue

In order to figure if it's a hardware/driver issue, I am using a different sound card : UGREEN USB to Audio Jack Sound Card Adapter.

aplay -l

With the same steps, I got a failure and a success.

  1. Launch Steam
  2. Join group voice chat
  3. Launch Sons of the Forest

4a. Disconnected

4b. Keep connection
