Even users on Reddit are discussing the same problem:

More often than not, it’s not a major problem, as users have shared some workarounds that work for them. For example, you can try turning the voice chat option on and off in settings. Many also say restarting and re-plugging the headset does the trick for them.

Some even say reinstalling the game might help.
