    How To Fix Xbox Gamebar Not Using Microphone When Noise Suppression Is On?


    When using xbox game bar and joining a party chat, if noise suppression is enabled in the party settings, my microphone will no longer be picked up in the party. It says it's still receiving input over in the audio widget part of game bar, but nothing comes through in the party and my friends can't hear me. Disabling noise suppression fixes it, but it is annoying for my friends as they can hear my keyboard when I'm not using noise suppression. I only started to get this issue yesterday, worked fine before. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling game bar, as well as double and triple checking this issue with multiple microphones (A usb mic, aux mic, and even my webcam). To add on to this post, if I ever have to rejoin somebodies xbox party, i can no longer hear anyone.

    Is there a way to completely mute background noise from my mic? Noise suppression doesnt work.

    Hi Chezniv, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed way to completely silence background noise from your microphone. Noise suppression is a useful feature, but it's not perfect. In some cases, it may not be effective enough to remove all background noise.

    And each suppression function depends on the quality of your microphone.

    Here are some tips you can try to reduce background noise:

    *Place your microphone as close to your mouth as possible. This will help reduce the amount of ambient noise that the microphone picks up.

    *Try using an omnidirectional microphone instead of a unidirectional microphone. Omnidirectional microphones pick up sound from all directions, which can help reduce background noise.

    *Use a noise filter in your recording software. Some audio recording programs, such as Audacity, offer noise filters that can help eliminate background noise.

    If these tips don't work, you can try using an external microphone. External microphones usually have better audio quality than microphones built into headphones. They also tend to have more advanced noise suppression features. Although as I said before it depends on the quality of your microphone since the operation is not perfect.

    Best regards
    Jhon

    Mic Sensitivity issue Xbox Wireless Headset? picks up all background noise.

    Why is the Xbox Wireless headset microphone so sensitive? I can be several rooms away around multiple corners from the person using the headset and it picks me up like i am sitting right beside them.. Please fix the microphone sensitivity and how much background noise it picks up! I hope this is a bug because
    I hope the software still needs to be fixed because I have the same problem.

    The mic actually has 2 microphones, the second one is for reducing backgroud noise by subtracting its sound from the first one. But it seems that it adds everything...

    Mic echo

    sometimes theres an issue with the connection between speaker and mic in the headset itself, like its too sensitive, or the ear muffs arent strong enough to muffle the speaker volume. If others are hearing an echo but you're not, the headset volume may
    be turned up a notch too high. Or, if your mic came with a boom cover (little foam bit on the end of a microphone), be sure to use it. Won't fix the sound completely, if the issue is poor noise suppression in the headphones, but can help muffle it.

    mic too loud

    You’ll find noise suppression in your settings.

    Make sure your party members also use it :)

    Hello there,

    As far as I know, there is currently no option for noise suppression, but it's worth suggesting it on Xbox Feedback.

    Hope this helps,
