    Default Voice Chat does NOT work...

    Please, SL, look into this. The voice chat simply doesn't work. All I can hear from other people is chops and distortion (and it's not my headset, I'm sure - it did work quite okay when I did a test chat with Mad-Ice over the XMB).
    I don't know exactly what's wrong with it, but as it stands, it's useless.

    I've found that with every PS3 game online myself, not just WO. Not that I've tried it with WO, you understand, just never bothered because of the problem.

    I've had plenty of good conversations through burnout paradise, so I know it CAN work.
    but man is it ever awful trying to communicate with elhabib in game.. it was too compressed/garbled to be useful at all.
    we resorted to typing messages in xmb while in the lobby instead of using voice chat

    VOIP worked fine for me, though the quality is a bit lower than in Burnout.

    Grr. And I was thinking it would be just like racing Forza 2 - players cutting up, joking and stuff in the lobby - except much more intimate and friendly, all in near-perfect clarity.

    That needs to be on the high-priority "fix list" when a patch arrives.

    Yeah, it's not with all PS3 games, Call of Duty had voice chat working perfectly well.

    But yeah, the voice chat needs a bit of work here, you can't hear anyone on the other side coherently !

    I heard one or two words when we were in the tournamement, sound quality was aweful but i heard other guys pretty clearly in other tournaments so i dunno what's wrong ...

    Btw you and Mad-Ice mean business in tournaments lol

    I think it might have to do with both the headsets and connection. I couldn't hear my friend properly, but he could hear me nicely. Oh and El, when I first joined your game, you were crystal clear mate.

    I've had somebody talking to me in the lobby once, and I could understand him clearly. But when playing Warhawk, I hear nothing but static/distorted voices~ D:

    yeah, the voice chat is pretty much useless as it works right now. But then again, I have never seen any good voice-chat implementation on PS3, so I didn't really expect much.

    I have a commercial 50-man ventrilo server running from my days as WOW-gamer, and if it has any interest you are all welcome to use that for some quality chatting. It does however require you to have a laptop or computer running next to you.

    Let me know if it has any interest?

    My main problem is that in every race I join, no one seems to even use voice chat, so I can't chat in the first place. I reckon they should ad keyboard chat support for the lobby. That would be a simple means of communication.

    That's been my contention as well. I thought about getting a BT headset just so I'd have the voice capability in WOHD but I've been playing since release and very seldom does anyone chat. But to echo the original poster..... only once have I actually understood what anyone said.

    Honestly having to depress the L1 button to chat would probably be too much for me while in play anyway. I'm too focused (read holding on for dear-life) to worry about chatting but it'd be nice in the lobby.

    Well if chatting worked for me, I'd be all over it. Sadly, either there's some problem with voice chat in the game code, or it's the fact that my 'high speed' internet connection is really basic and there's not enough bandwidth for gameplay and chat.
    That would suck a lot.

    I've been told from a few Beta testers on Killzone 2 (Sony game, not 3rd party) that it's even better than COD4 when it comes to voice chat. So if Killzone and Wipeout are both made by Sony companies (as far as i am aware), then it really doesn't make sense that one has great clarity and the other sounds like I'm using my headset on PES08 (horrible for those not in the know)

    You'd think Sony would make a standard code or something along those lines to allow all voice chat in all PS3 games to work the same
