Mass-effect – How to know who is talking

mass-effect-3mass-effect-3-multiplayer

In Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, I have run into a few screaming 12-year-olds. And while they are just a delight to talk to, and so well mannered, on occasion I feel that their mature and thoughtful discussion might distract me from the tasks at hand. In the ME3 multiplayer interface, is there any way to tell who is talking so that I may know whom I should mute?

By the way, I am on Xbox 360.

On the mission launch screen, there is a little speaker icon by each players name... it is red if they have no mic, blue if they do have one. When someone is talking it is blue with sound waves coming off of it. Get them talking before the mission launches, mute them there and you should be good to go!
