Sometimes, for no known reason, two people in games I host can't hear each other. In lobby they both see each other's mic as red. If they momentarily disable and reenable chat, I see the red go on and back off...but it doesn't seem to help between the two who can't chat. Sometimes if they exit and restart the game it works.

I'm thinking that disable/reenable is not initializing something that it should. If this is the case, maybe someone can review what gets reset this way and try to re-initialize everything more comprehensively.

It's also possible that the two players have firewall or proxy issues, but their chat works with everyone else. I don't believe this is the case. However, wouldn't it be useful to have some sort of a log with more detailed information in general that players can go back and look at? E.G., no route to host on audio port. Details on ports and especially port failures that a player can scan the log for.

I have two friends I have never heard over the mic and one friend whom I can occasionally hear. At the same time everyone else in the lobby can hear them just fine.

The icons are always red when I can't hear them.

PC chat quality is so bad a lot of people don't notice this bug. It is vastly underrated. Of those on my friends list that have this issue, it is intermittent. Some days it can be fixed if they both exit the application and restart. Other times it does not seem fixable. The fact that it is sometimes fixed by restarting tells me it is very unlikely to router related, although it could be; this also says that it is 100% not firewall related.

UPDATE:
After a disconnect requiring reconnect on origin to access game features, coming back by simply going online again fails to initialize audio chat. Connect from origin after disconnect removes chat and requires a hard exit.
