Questions and answers
Can't find yours? Send us a report from Issues & diagnostics in CrossVoice.
Do I need a virtual audio cable?
No. CrossVoice joins the microphone you already use, so your games and voice apps need no new device.
Will people still hear my own voice?
Yes. Voice lines are mixed with your microphone; your voice keeps going through.
Which games and apps does it work with?
Any game with built-in voice chat, such as Hunt: Showdown 1896, and voice apps such as Discord: anything that takes your microphone from Windows.
Is it safe with anti-cheat?
CrossVoice never touches the game: it does not read or change game memory, inject code or DLLs into the game, or modify game files. It works through Windows itself: your microphone's audio path, keyboard shortcuts, and an Overlay that is a separate window on top of the game. Each game sets its own rules and anti-cheat policies, so check them for the games you play; we only claim compatibility with a specific anti-cheat once we have tested it.
Does it work with push-to-talk?
Yes. Set your push-to-talk key in Settings and CrossVoice presses it for you while a line plays.
Can I hear the lines myself?
Yes. Local monitoring plays them on your speakers or headphones, separately from what goes out through the microphone.
Why does Windows warn about the installer?
The beta installer is not code-signed yet. Check its SHA-256 on the Download page, then choose More info and Run anyway.
Why does setup ask for administrator permission?
Connecting CrossVoice to your microphones is a system audio change, so Windows asks once during setup. Everyday use runs as a normal user.
How do I get a beta key?
During the beta, CrossVoice needs a beta key to open. Use Ask for a beta test: we review each request and send the key by email. The key gives access to the whole beta; when its access end date passes, CrossVoice asks for a new one.
Does CrossVoice need an Internet connection?
During the beta, yes. Every time CrossVoice starts, it checks your beta key with the CrossVoice server, so it does not open without a connection.
Which Windows versions are supported?
Windows 10 and Windows 11, 64-bit.
How do I report a problem?
Open Issues & diagnostics in CrossVoice and choose Send report. The report includes the details we need to help.
How do I uninstall CrossVoice?
From Windows Settings › Apps. The uninstaller restores your microphones and asks whether to keep your Profiles and the beta access saved on your PC. If you delete them, you will need a new beta key to use CrossVoice again.
