At this point, EA is very well known for offering overpriced games with bad customer support. Don’t even get us started on the sports games that EA publishes. Let us face it: for the most part, they feel like copy-pasted versions of the previous installments. Nevertheless, F1 2023 was released recently, and instead of players driving the cars, it is the bugs that are driving them crazy. In other words, the in-game radio is not working for some players. So, if you are facing the same issue, this is just the article for you.
Just like in real-life Formula 1, communication is key between the driver and their team during a race in F1 23 as well. In these virtual racing experiences, developers have worked hard to recreate the intensity and authenticity of these radio exchanges. When you’re behind the wheel, you’ll often hear your race engineer or team manager chiming in through your headset, providing you with important updates, strategy suggestions, and even words of encouragement. They keep you informed about tire conditions, fuel levels, and crucial race events happening around you. Now you can imagine what would happen if this line of communication breaks, pandemonium. With that being said, let us see if a fix exists for this error.
F1 2023 (F1 23) radio not working: How to fix it
Folks, it is the usual thing with EA, an error crops up, and players report it and cross their fingers. By the grace of God, even if the developers decide to respond to your query, it will mostly be of no help. As such, struggling players are left to discuss some potential fixes amongst themselves. That has exactly been the case with F1 2023. As of writing this article, there is no official fix for the radio not working error in F1 23. But the fact that most EA games are similar to last year’s editions may work in our favor. This particular error was also present in F1 22, and the following fixes may work for F1 23.
Check your audio device
Make sure that the right audio output device is selected on your system. You can even try to unplug your audio device for some time before plugging it back in. If you want to go the extra mile, go ahead and check if the audio drivers are up to date.
Unbind and Remap
If the radio buttons or functions are not working, try rebinding them from the game’s settings. First, from the in-game settings, head to the Control Scheme section. You will find the option to rebind controls for various actions in this tab. Just assign the radio controls to a different button and see if that resolves the issue.
Well, there you have it; those are the only workarounds you can try right now in the absence of an official fix. We will update this guide with more workarounds once we receive confirmation from the players regarding their effectiveness. Until then, for more reads like this, follow Digistatement.
