I should add that I was able to talk some during the call/kept playing the game. I didn’t leave or make a big deal of the noise, because I knew they weren’t trying to upset me. They even joked about me being quiet. So I don’t understand why they are not talking to me like normal?

I would just let them know that you were overstimulated/overwhelmed and that’s why you stopped talking, and that it wasn’t anything personal. Maybe they think they said something to upset you or make you angry? Sometimes people get quiet if they’re irritated, so it may be a misunderstanding and they think you were annoyed, even if that wasn’t your intention.
