This has been fixed a while ago.

If you can't TALK as the MASTER of your OWN instance, then you can't actually create a private instance. This is not an audio bug, this is a top tier functionality issue that is 100% repeatable, and has been a known for months, and now people are paying to have totally unusable private spaces, until they hit re-join, lose control over their own instance and pass the bug to the next person, deemed room master. It's most likely a sync issue, but as Mods have already done the work to fix this, you guys already have the answer to address it.

There's no way to ask this without it sounding extremely rude, but is there any particular reason why this bug has taken so long to fix? Is it an issue with photon or something weird like that? I imagine its one of those situations right now where fixing it causes tons of other things to break, but thats just speculation

Is the cause of why it's happening just not clear? It really sucks being "in the dark" on such an infamous bug

sometimes seem like an understatement, if you're lucky you're in a lobby where the host is a mute tho. Edit:(I submitted this comment before I realized who made the post... LOL)

This bug has been in existence for over 8 months it seems. Love that these things are being "fixed" while they instead focus on things like pay walls.

It's really annoying. I'm glad it's a known bug and not something from my side.

It happens whenever someone joins the instance while the instance master is talking.
