For the pasted two weeks now when me and my regular leveling partner in TBC Classic have been voice chatting while playing… When ever we zone (Mage portal Dungeon portal Heart Stone ANd even BOAT travel) we will be disconnected from voice chat and having to rejoin it… It’s both of us and we aren’t in the same RL building so it’s not an ISP issue. There is also a thread over in General forum about it.
and then blizzard wonders why ppl resort to using third party apps. i hope microsoft at least fixes it. their xbox comms are good

Yep I normally use third party chat things like Discord as well. But my leveling companion don’t have that so… Have to use Blizzards ingame Voice chat function.

Was with a friend tonight using voice chat (flying rather than portals and reconnecting if one of us HS)
My friend joined us to a raid group that was doing the world boss in Revendreth. Neither of us could see the boss or the rest of the raid group, so we had to leave.
Shortly after that it disconnected us and I noticed an error message box:
WowVoiceProxy
This application has encountered a critical error
ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception !
Program D:\Games\World of Warcraft\Retail_\Utils\WowVoiceProxy.exe
Process ID: 2844
Thread ID: 8708
Exception ACCESS VIOLATION
The instruction at 0x0000000000000000 referenced memory at 0x0000000000000000
The memory could not be ‘executed’.
Press OK to terminate the application
It wouldnt screenshot so I had to write it all down.
I have also reported this info as a bug.
This problem is now affecting gameplay in addition to communication

Hey there!
I just wanted to drop by and let y’all know that this is being investigated as a potential bug on our end by now. The effect seems to occur only fairly sporadically but definitely too often to be just random chance - something is clearly funky with it.

I run with a group and for the last couple of weeks we all drop out of inchat everytime we go through any portal - we all live in different countries and I don’t think its quite so sporadic - ingame chat is really good now please sort the portal problem out

I’m still having this problem. Playing Arena in TBC and everytime I join/leave arena (or bg, dungeons etc.) I get disconnected and have to reconnect. Any updates on when this will be fixed?

I’m getting bombarded with ACCESS_VIOLATION exceptions from WowVoiceProxy.exe. Soon enough this game will be considered to be malware.
Thank you for the update, I have just seen this today. (Usually there is a note on my portrait of responses) 
Could there be a link between the issues listed below, and portals disconnecting voice chat ?
Think Blink / Heroic Leap and all other form of ‘‘ingame’’ teleports cause disconnects, truly needs a fix tho!
Also, I have recently had more messages saying I have been disconnected while selecting a different character on the selection screen. Yet it hasn’t seemed to disconnect me.
So very strange. 
Hoping your clever detective work yields some good results. 
There is nothing sporadic about his bug at all. Every time you zone in anyway the voice channel drops. ie if you die in an instance and release it drops, if you enter an instance it drops, if you use your hearthstone it drops, if you use a portal it drops. This used to be a very useful feature but its totally broken now.

My friends and I use/d this facility quite regularly and up until recently it was a good voice communication asset. However for quite a few weeks now whenever you zone it releases and drops - whether it’s an instance entry/exit, hearthstone use or even a portal it just drops you out and you have to go back to Chat Channels each time, this is everytime and NOT sporadically! This is very frustrating as I found it to be a very useful addition to the game, please try and resolve this problem, thank you!
It looks like it’s random overall but it’s not random for us. It happens 100% of the time while zoning.
All our RAID group is impacted (Elune, Hyjal, Varimathras, if that matters) together with voice chat. It started with 9.2.5
We had to migrate voice outside of the game.

Veadsarias how is the investigation going ?
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to test this as my one friend (who uses this with me) is not currently playing Retail.
She might be back for Dragonflight (but not sure if I am gonna get it yet). 
Hope this gets fixed for everyone else that likes to use it. 
So far, the actual root cause of the error has remained at least partially elusive. We can somewhat reliably reproduce the effect, but it should be noted that this doesn’t affect all players equally - there are some who have never encountered the chat disruption, and others who basically have it every time they change area/zone within the game. In other words: this isn’t a “bug” in the game per se, but most likely some form of communication problem on the related backend-services.
We’ll keep digging until we know for sure how this happens, and will deploy a solution soon as we can.

This has been a problem for a few months now. Every time my team members and I go through a portal or change zones, the voice chat disconnects. I saw there is a work in progress to fix it, but just wanted to add my comment here to chime in that this problem persists.
Can confirm problem still persist (Kazzak)
same her since weeks ago
