CS2 Voice Command List & How To Enable

If you’re like me, you know communication in this game can make or break a match. Having a solid voice setup and knowing how to use voice commands properly can elevate your gameplay.

I’m going to walk you through everything you need: from enabling your mic to using key voice commands that will make managing team communication a breeze. And yes, we’ll keep it detailed without being overwhelming.

How to Enable Voice in CS2

The first step is making sure your voice settings are set up. Here’s how you do it:

1. Enable Your Mic in Settings
   • Start by heading into CS2’s Settings (the gear icon).
   • Click on the Audio tab.
   • Under Voice, make sure you’ve selected Press to Use Mic. This will set it up for push-to-talk, which is way better for team comms. Trust me, open mic isn’t a good look when you’re sneezing mid-game.
2. Assign a Push-to-Talk Key
   • Now, go to the Keyboard/Mouse tab.
   • Look for Communication Options and set your Use Mic key. Most people stick with “K” or “V,” but set it to whatever feels comfortable for you.

Once that’s done, you’re ready to chat with your team in-game. But we’re not stopping there.

Essential CS2 Voice Commands You Should Know

Now that you’ve got the basics set up, it’s time to get into the good stuff: voice commands. These console commands let you tweak how voice communication works in CS2. They’re especially useful when you want to mute toxic players or adjust the volume of voice chat quickly.

Here’s a breakdown of the key voice commands:

1. voice_modenable 0/1
   • This is your main toggle for voice chat. Use 1 to enable your mic and 0 to disable it. I keep it on 1 obviously, but if you ever need to go silent, this is the way to do it.
2. voice_scale 0-1
   • This adjusts how loud your teammates’ voices are. Set it to 1 for max volume, or turn it down if that one guy on your team is yelling into his mic. A good middle ground is usually around 0.7.
3. voice_mute <Player #>
   • Got a teammate who’s not exactly contributing positively? This command will mute them based on their player number. It’s handy for those toxic moments when you just want to focus on the game.
4. voice_unmute <Player #>
   • Need to unmute that player? Just reverse it with this command.
5. cl_mute_enemy_team 0/1
   • This one mutes all enemy players. I find it useful in competitive games where you want to shut out distractions from the other team. Set it to 1 if you want to focus purely on your team’s communication.
6. cl_mute_all_but_friends_and_party 0/1
   • If you’re playing with a group of friends and don’t want to hear randoms, this command will mute everyone except your friends or party members. I use this one when I’m squadding up with my crew.

Advanced CS2 Voice Commands for Extra Control

If you’re someone who likes fine-tuning every little setting, these advanced commands can give you extra control over your voice setup:

• voice_system_enable 0/1
  • This completely enables or disables voice communication. Keep it at 1 to make sure everything’s working.
• voice_recordtofile 0/1
  • Ever wanted to record your in-game comms? This command lets you record your mic and save it to a file. I don’t use this much, but it’s cool for those who want to review their gameplay and voice coordination.
• voice_reset_mutelist
  • If you’ve muted a bunch of players and need a reset, this command unmutes everyone.
