audio but no video with remote play on pc

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Paxton, what kind of device are you doing remote play for, for a PC, or for a mobile device?

Are you doing remote play on the same home network as your home, or would it be from an external network?

Remote play requires a lot of data compression for video and audio, depending on your network type, compression and audio transmission may be compromised for a few moments.

What specifically doesn't work? The stream audio or the party audio?

Was that not covered in the OPs post?

"I'm unable to use the microphone on my Steelseries when coneected to my PC using a Remote Streaming session"

"just not when joining a party during a stream."

Seems to me that the OP is playing using the Remote Play function but the Microphone doesn't work when in a party chat whilst using the Remote Play. the Mic works fine when directly connected to the Xbox or used via the Xbox App

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

Good evening

To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following:

Check your network connection: Make sure that your network connection is stable and that you have a strong signal.

Increase bandwidth: If possible, increase the available bandwidth on your network to help remote play handle both the audio and video streams.

Check audio settings: Ensure that the audio settings on your device are configured properly and that there are no conflicting settings that may cause the connection to drop.

Update the remote play software: Make sure that you have the latest version of the remote play software installed on your device.

IR has nothing to do with Audio or Video. It is the remote control. It just replicates the "Infra Red" light that comes out of your remote control, to power devices on and off and change channels and maybe volume.

Ir blaster is for controlling channel changing, volume, etc....it does not transmit video/audio signals. Think of it as a remote control extender.
