Voice Chat in the game is turned on by default. Should you wish turn it off, go to the [[Dust_514:_Starters_Guide#Neocom|Neocom]] by pressing L1 and using the D-pad highlight [[Dust_514:_Starters_Guide#System_Operation|System Operation]] and press X.

Here you will find options for the game such as controller sensitivity, brightness levels etc. The menu we want is in fact the first menu screen you'll see when entering System Operation, Audio.

You will see ~~that~~ Voice Chat ~~is off~~ and Push to Talk ~~is on~~. Use the d-pad and X to ~~remedy that by turning~~ Voice Chat ON and Push to Talk ~~OFF~~. The settings are saved automatically when you leave the menu.

You will see settings for Voice Chat and Push-to-Talk here. Use the D-pad and X to change Voice Chat and Push-to-Talk. The settings are saved automatically when you leave the menu.

Push to Talk is in this Merc's experience a waste of time until proximity chat is in the game and the opposition might hear you talking as you sneak up on them.

Push-to-Talk is, in this Merc's experience, a waste of time until proximity chat is in the game and the opposition might hear you talking as you sneak up on them.

However, Push-to-Talk can be useful in situations where you have loud background noise or a faulty mic, reducing the chance of damaging your squad's eardrums and preventing a possible situation of being muted.

To activate your mic while in Push-to-Talk mode, use left on the D-pad to activate your mic.

The Push-to-Talk function is also easily accessed by bringing up your communications windows and selecting Push-to-Talk button in the top right hand corner.
