Can’t Talk to a Certain Friend On Xbox Live

January 30th, 2009

This happened to me and I did loads of Google searching trying to find a solution. In the end, the answer was just silly. My sister lives in France, and I’m over here in the UK so when I heard that she got an Xbox 360 I was very happy as I rarely get a chance to speak to her. Xbox Live seems like a great free way to talk. The only problem was that I could talk to everyone else except her. I did loads of router configuring and port forwarding stuff in an attempt to get this sorted, but nothing seemed to work. Many conversations were done using a mutual XBL friend who would act as a relay. Obviously this wasn’t ideal.

One evening, one such friend asked my sister to check her settings to see if she had accidentally muted me. She said that she had already checked that. We asked her to check again, just to make sure. Guess what? Yes, that’s right, she had indeed muted me. So for the last 3 months I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a solution only to find out that it was a simple case of human error. I find the whole thing quite funny now. I would say to anyone suffering with this problem to make sure both parties check their mute settings, and also make sure that they have not given each other negative feedback.

    As the sister in question, I would just like to point out that I have never ‘muted’ my brother, and that in my opinion, it was either already on mute, or someone hacked into my computer! I wasn’t even aware you could mute people you see! :)

    Ha! I think hackers have got better things that hack your xbox so you can’t talk to me! :)
