Depending on which type of chat session you are connected to... everyone needs to be in the same chat menu. Sometimes when switching from game chat to party chat you might still be stuck in game chat while others are in private chat or visa versa.
To talk to only players in your game: Press the
Guide button, then select
Party, Party Options, Chat Channel, and
Game Chat.
To talk to only members of the party: Press the
Guide button, then select
Party, Party Options, Chat Channel, and
Party Chat.
To mute an individual: Press the
Guide button, then select
Party, the player's gamertag, and
Mute.
It is a possibility that you are not in the same chat session with your friends. they might be in a party chat with others while you are in game chat. (note you can only have a max of 8 people in one party chat) Or you might still be in a party chat (that everyone else has left) and they are in game chat.
