Xbox Live- I can't hear my friend?

Question

Why is that I can't hear my friend in games and can't send him a chat invite? I can't invite him to game because then it says the request is timed out. Does anyone know what is wrong? Thanks

Answer 1

If it says that the request has timed out it could be due to him leaving the invitation for too long.

It could also have something to do with if you have a silver membership but I'm not too sure.

Answer 2

It's you connection. If you and your friend live in the same city or close by, sometimes the  connection is all messed up. Try re-testing it through your settings.

Answer 3

its gotta be xbox live it messes up sometimes
