Want to use or mute voice chat in Monster Hunter Rise? While it's a multiplayer game, you're not obligated to chat. However, if you want to communicate without using Discord or other external party chat, here's how to manage in-game voice settings.

All voice chat settings are located in the game's audio options menu. Navigate to the options menu (accessible in-game or from the main menu), then select the third tab from the right. Scroll down slightly to find the Voice Chat settings. You'll have three options: Enable, Disable, and Push-to-Talk. "Enable" keeps voice chat constantly active; "Disable" turns it off completely; and "Push-to-Talk" activates voice chat only when you press a designated key (keyboard only).
Further options control voice chat volume (adjusting the audio level) and voice chat auto-toggle. Auto-toggle allows you to prioritize voice chat with either your current quest members, your link party members, or disable automatic switching altogether. Quest members are those currently participating in the same hunt, likely the most common choice. Link party members are those in a linked party, useful for collaborative gameplay or story progression where you might need to wait for others during cutscenes.
That covers voice chat in Monster Hunter Rise. While the in-game audio quality isn't as polished as dedicated apps, it's a convenient option, especially for cross-platform play.
