Other players voices will sometimes cut out while they're speaking, but only for you. Everyone else can still hear them.

I have been having this bug for months now. Most people I talk to don't get it, but I have talked to a few who have experienced this issue so I know it's not just me.
Have you ever had a conversation with a group of people, and while one person is talking, it sounds like he cuts out mid-sentence, yet everyone else in the group can still hear them? It only lasts for about 5-6 seconds, then the voice comes back again. It will happen randomly, and I encounter it happening maybe twice per 3 hour play session usually.

What still happen is people's avatar will all the sudden go out of bound (nametag still in the same place), which takes their voice away as the avatar is too far to hear them. We usually have to hide their avatar and unhide again to see them again.

this is even more common now...

Other players voices completely cut out 10-12 minutes in a world, can still hear world sound

I've encountered this bug that will cut out everyone's voices at some point being in a world. I've tried every theory I can possibly think of and I'm not sure how to fix this. It's been like this for about a week or so. Once I reload into the world I can hear again but only for a short time. I can still hear the world sound and avatar sounds. They can still hear me the whole time. Doesn't seem like a lot of people are having this specific issue but I would like to find a fix asap. Thanks!

This should be significantly less severe after the 2019.1.1 update. Please let us know if you're still encountering it.
Kizzy
Tupper - VRChat Head of Community: Just encountered it about a day or two ago, still happening.

Kizzy: Is the frequency similar, or greatly reduced? I haven't seen it too often.

Tupper - VRChat Head of Community: This happens often for me after the update.
Kizzy
Tupper - VRChat Head of Community: The frequency seems to be reduced but I'll have to keep an ear out for it to make sure.

Kizzy: Thanks. It isn't easy to do, but if you look at the network quality debug menu (Menu+5), watch the orange lines. Those lines indicate the general network quality to that user. Its a good marker of when issues occur.

Voice cutting out when someone joins
rollthered
Title says everything. Once someone joins a lobby everyone's voice starts to cut out and some times everyone starts to jitter around when walking. This seems to be a new thing after migrating to the oculus store. This makes it painfully awkward having to ask people to repeat themselves only for another person to join the lobby again causing cut outs.
