[Bug] Non-spatial voice channels dont transmit or receive audio

[knownwolfy]

Summary

Non-spatial voice channels created through the new FiveM Enhanced server-side voice API do not appear to carry audio.

Two players can be added to the same channel created with:

• CreateVoiceChannel(0, 0) or CreateVoiceChannel(0, 0.0)

The server reports that the channel was created successfully and that both players were added and unmuted. However, neither player can hear the other player and neither player appears to transmit audio through the channel.

This reproduces using a minimal standalone resource based directly on the radio/walkie-talkie example in the Cfx voice documentation. No pma-voice, radio framework or other voice abstraction is involved.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start a FiveM for GTAV Enhanced server with the internal voice server enabled by adding the following to server.cfg: voice_internal
2. Install and start the minimal voice test resource linked in Evidence.
3. Connect two FiveM Enhanced clients to the server.
4. On both clients, run: /vtjoin 1
5. Because the supplied test initially joins players as muted, run the following on both clients: /vttalk 1
6. Confirm in the server console that:

• A single non-spatial channel was created.
• Both players joined the same voice channel ID.
• Both players were unmuted.

7. Speak through both clients.
8. Neither client can hear the other client through the non-spatial channel.

Expected Behavior

Players who are members of the same non-spatial voice channel, and who are not muted or deafened in that channel, should be able to transmit and receive voice audio regardless of their positions in the game world.

Actual Behavior

The channel is created and the players are added successfully, with no reported native or script errors.

The server logs confirm that both players are using the same channel ID and that both players have been unmuted.

Despite this, neither player can hear or communicate with the other player through the non-spatial channel.

Evidence

Minimal reproduction script: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/knownwolfy/388b3309684c25c708ca12bcb4a5624c/raw/9620f26c1a7321dfdce946e8ed9fd50f78bbd473/server.lua

The resource is a direct test of the new server-side voice API and does not use pma-voice or another radio/voice resource.

Server output confirms:

• CreateVoiceChannel returned a channel ID.
• Both player server IDs were added to that channel.
• Both players were unmuted using SetPlayerMutedInVoiceChannel.
