### Return value

Type: void

<a id="remarksSection" />

## Remarks

This method specifies the current audio encoding bit rate used by the chat instance. If this method is not called, the audio encoding bit rate is set to `game_chat_audio_encoding_bitrate::kilobits_per_second_24`. You can change the audio encoding bit rate as needed to respond to network usage. Lower bit rates result in less data transmission but lower audio quality. Higher bit rates result in better audio quality but more data transmission. For more information about audio encoding, see [Using the Game Chat 2 C++ API](/services/xbox-services/multiplayer/chat/game-chat2/using-game-chat-2).
