i am permanently muted in matchmaking and i would like that to end. this happened with my old console leading into my new console and i had spoken with an xbox live agent and he ran through every step to try as follows
1 voice chat ok
2 changed privacy settings and rechanged to adult with no restrictions before redownload of profile
3 can record audio message ok
4 no NAT problems by txlc
5bipassed router with ethernet direct to modem
6 did sequential power cycle
made sure privacy setting not friends only
cleared system cache

There’s no way to get that mute ban lifted, sorry. It’ll eventually wear off but no one really knows when.

Am not sure, but it can depends on the preferences of the people, some people mutes wihtout reason, if you had any microphone problems, or light sound bugs, that you can’t hear, you should fix it cause the may reasons are of trash talking.

I’ve known people to mute everyone for no reason.
That can get people mute ban.

I think sometimes it depends on your rep too.

Xbox LIVE rep has nothing to do with mute bans.

Really, I didn’t know that. I wonder why then. Going to have to see. Thanks.
