## Introduction

Decodes the compressed voice data returned by [Get Voice](https://kb.heathen.group/old-kb/old-toolkit-for-steamworks/unreal/blueprint-nodes/functions/get-voice).\
\
The output data is raw single-channel 16-bit PCM audio. The decoder supports any sample rate from 11025 to 48000. See [Get Voice Optimal Sample Rate](https://kb.heathen.group/old-kb/old-toolkit-for-steamworks/unreal/blueprint-nodes/functions/get-voice-optimal-sample-rate) for more information.

### Compressed Data

The array of bytes that represents the compressed data

### Desired Sample Rate

The sample rate that will be returned. This can be from **11025** to **48000**, you should either use the rate that works best for your audio playback system, which likely takes the user's audio hardware into account, or you can use [Get Voice Optimal Sample Rate](https://kb.heathen.group/old-kb/old-toolkit-for-steamworks/unreal/blueprint-nodes/functions/get-voice-optimal-sample-rate) to get the native sample rate of the Steam voice decoder.

### Return Value

A [Decompress Voice Result](https://kb.heathen.group/old-kb/old-toolkit-for-steamworks/unreal/blueprint-nodes/types/decompress-voice-result) value containing the results and data of the process
