Yes, but there is no good option for game sound + voice chat. 

The plan now is to use discord on our phones and TV sound with my headset half hanging off my head, but that solution kind of sucks. Like, online gaming isn't a new concept, why does Nintendo still suck so hard at this? We shouldn't have to wrangle a second app on our phones and still have to deal with a voice chat experience that is worse than the simple default on other consoles.

MH Rise isn't a Nintendo game so the ball is in Capcom's court on this one, no idea why they thought the game shouldn't support voice chat.

Anyway, if it's awkward having your headset half on, try the phone on loudspeaker, that works for my brother.

While it is an option for games to do it themselves, this is something that should be done on the system side like it is with other modern consoles. Also, the Switch controller design makes voice chat more difficult by tying the headphone jack to the physical console instead of the controller (there is no excuse for the Pro Controller to not have a headphone jack).

After playing a bit tonight, I can live with the setup I'm working with, but again, there is no reason it needs to be this difficult.
