Why can nobody hear my microphone in BOMBANANA?

Check operating system microphone permission, select the correct Steam voice input, run the Steam microphone test, and then relaunch the game.

Why is only one player silent?

Focus on that player's input permission, Steam voice device, mute state, and physical microphone connection before changing the host.

What if voice is delayed?

Test without VPN or traffic filters, compare another network, and use a backup voice channel while isolating the route.

Run the checks in signal order

Hardware: reconnect the microphone, check its physical mute switch, and close apps that may hold the device.
Operating system: grant microphone access to desktop apps and confirm the input meter moves.
Steam: open Voice settings, select the intended input, and run its microphone test.
Game: inspect player mute state, rejoin a fresh room, and relaunch after any device change.
Network: test without VPN or traffic filtering. If delay remains, compare a phone hotspot.

Quick symptom map

Symptom	Start here
No input meter in the system	Hardware, permission, or system input choice
System meter moves, Steam test is silent	Steam voice input and level
Steam test works, game is silent	Game mute state and a fresh room
Voice works but is heavily delayed	VPN, route, packet loss, or network load
Only one teammate is affected	That player's device and settings

Keep a backup channel ready

BOMBANANA depends on communication. If the in-game path is still failing, use a temporary Steam call or another agreed voice channel so the session can continue while the cause is isolated.

Launch context: A June hotfix included a voice chat delay fix. That historical fix does not rule out present device, Steam, or network problems.
