Cracking or distorted voice
The official hotfix lists distorted voice-chat audio as fixed.
BOMBANANA Mic / Voice Chat Not Working
Update BOMBANANA first: v1.0.1 fixed distorted voice audio and cases where some players could not hear or speak, while v1.0.2 continued lobby, sound, and voice-chat adjustments. If the problem remains, verify the selected operating-system input, microphone permission, and current lobby before changing files or installing anything.
What v1.0.1 fixed
Unable to hear or speak
The developer fixed a game defect affecting some players, but local device or permission problems can still cause the same symptom.
3D voice after a run
The Report-panel voice state after returning to the lobby was corrected.
Current v1.0.2 status
v1.0.2 added matchmaking support and further sound, lobby, and voice-chat adjustments, so every player should update before diagnosing a microphone fault. If voice chat still fails after the update, treat it as a local input, permission, lobby, or network-path issue until an official note confirms a new game-wide defect.
Safe microphone checklist
- Install the current update.
Restart Steam, update BOMBANANA, and make sure all three players are on the same game version.
- Verify the system input.
On Windows, check Settings → System → Sound → Input. On macOS, check System Settings → Sound → Input. Confirm the intended microphone responds.
- Allow microphone access.
Windows: Privacy & security → Microphone. macOS: Privacy & Security → Microphone. Make sure Steam and the game are not blocked.
- Re-enter a clean lobby.
Leave the room, restart the game, create a fresh room code, and test voice before launching a level.
- Separate game and hardware faults.
Test the same microphone in the operating system or another voice app. If it also fails there, repair the device or OS path first.
Evidence boundary
The patch notes verify three specific game fixes. The device, permission, and room steps are reversible diagnostics, not developer-confirmed causes. No official instruction supports downloading replacement DLLs, changing the registry, or disabling security software.
