Did you mute a player and now you want to undo it? You need to use the voice_unmute command. Once you input it in the console, you will be able to listen to the previously muted player again.

What is the voice_unmute Command?

It is a command that allows you to unmute previously muted players, hence you will be able to hear them again without restrictions. Hence, it’s worth mentioning that this command doesn’t undo restrictions for other communication channels such as text chat.

It is one of the many commands you can use for moderation on matches and private servers, and hence it’s important to learn how to use it.

Take note that you can use this command as many times as necessary. For example, if you wish to mute the player again, you can do it again by using the corresponding command. And then you can reverse it by using the voice_unmute command.

About the Limitations of the Command

This command accepts the player numbers as arguments, as opposed to other commands that only require the player username. As such, this command requires another command to obtain the player number, which is voice_show_mute. This will bring you a list of all the muted players along with their respective numbers.

The voice_unmute command only allows you to unmute one player at a time. Therefore, it’s impossible to use it to CSGO unmute all players at once, as it won’t work. For this purpose, you’d need to use an alternative command: voice_reset_mutelist. This would unmute all the previously muted players immediately.

It’s also important to mention that this command won’t work to unmute globally muted players. For example, if a player has been muted globally due to multiple reports, it won’t be possible to unmute it using the voice_unmute command. In this case, you’d have to resort to alternative solutions such as using the cl_sanitize_muted_players command.

Now that you have a proper definition about the command, and complete information about its function, purpose and limitations, let’s see how you can use it right now.

How to Use the voice_unmute Command

To use the voice_unmute command, first we need to get the number of the player you want to unmute. Therefore, we need to use the command voice_show_mute first, and here’s how:

1. Press the key “~” to launch the console
2. Type in the command voice_show_mute
3. Press enter

It will automatically bring you a list with all the muted players and their respective numbers. Now, simply copy the number of the player you want to unmute, and next we can proceed to use the voice_unmute command as follows:

1. Press the key “~” to launch the console
2. Type in the command voice_unmute #
3. Press enter

You only need to replace “#” for the number of the player. For example, if it’s “34”, you’d need to input the command like this: voice_unmute 34. Instantly, you will be able to listen to such user again without restrictions.

You can use this command directly, as it doesn’t require you to activate sv_cheats beforehand.

Now that it’s clear what you need to do to execute this command, let’s check some practical examples on how you can implement it in the game.

Examples on How to Use the voice_unmute Command

Let’s check some practical examples on how you can use this command to unmute as many players as you wish.

Unmute One Player Directly

If you only want to unmute one player, you need to use the command voice_show_mute, copy the number of the player and then use it as an argument for the voice_unmute command. Let’s suppose it’s “4”, then the command would look like this: voice_unmute 4.

After inputting it in the console, you will be able to listen to the player with the number “4” again without restrictions.

Unmute Two or More Players Directly

If you want to unmute two or more players, you’ll have to input the command one at a time. First, you have to get their numbers by using the voice_show_mute command. For this example, let’s suppose it brings you the following numbers:

• Player 1: 5645
• Player 2: 4342
• Player 3: 5344

Next, you will have to launch the console and input the following commands one by one:

• voice_unmute 5645
• voice_unmute 4342
• voice_unmute 5344

Once you have done it, you will be able to listen to such users again without restrictions. 

Entering the Wrong Player Number

Finally, make sure you copy the right number, because if you enter the wrong number as the argument, the command won’t work. This is why you need to use the voice_show_ mute command first, because using the username or user ID as the argument won’t work.
