Cant hear othe players xbox series s open nat type

Hi, EmmanuelMarin2! thank you for reaching out.

My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

I'm sorry you are having communication difficulties with other players.

Would you mind giving this a try?

- Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds, until it shuts down.

- Unplug the power cord from your console for 3 minutes.

- In the meantime, turn your modem/router off and unplug it for a minute.

- Plug everything back together and turn your console on.

- Then try your game again.

If this doesn't work, then please answer the following questions:

- Is this happening while on party chat or game chat?

- Is this happening on multiple games?

- What kind of headset are you using?

- When did you first start experiencing this issue?

- Have you already done some troubleshooting on your own? if you have, could you tell me what?

These questions would help me get a better understanding of the situation.

Thank you!

When i play halo and im in a party chat with my boy, while we are searching i get that same message and i cant hear anything hes saying and he cant hear me...my nat type is open as well

Nat type is always open, so its not that. :S

Since you've got Halo 4, chuck it in and let it tell you what your NAT type is. If it's Open, you shouldn't have any problems (though you can actually have a few problems). If it's Moderate you can only connect to other Moderate or Open players and Strict
NAT players can only connect to Open NAT players.

.

If your NAT type is Open, tell them to check theirs. If it isn't, look into opening yours, it really does help.

@taidara:

yes I read it and it´s proofed. For example:4 players me (open NAT) 1 player host also open NAT. 2. player moderate NAT and third player strict NAT. So the moderate and strict can´t connect to each other. It means that I co host the session. If a packet
goes from player 2 to player 3 it goes to my router and get forwarded. These are the sessions I see. The problem is: This is a slowdown of my connection. So if I there are many strict NAT´s and some moderate NAT´s the open NAT has to co host the session. And
if there are game mechanics like lag compensation all goes wrong because player 2 and 3 in my example can´t connect the direct way to each other they connect to another open NAT and the open NAT owner gets penalized. I don´t know if it increases latency -
but I think so.

So for me it´s clear - for Gaming a moderate NAT is MUCH MUCH better than an open NAT. The only Problem is: I need an open NAT because of some partys I can´t join

xbox live parties should connect to another port - so I can forward the party port and not the gaming port - but that will never happen.
