Audio on game captures would you help the cause?

Hi there,

Thanks for your post! Natively, the GameDVR function only captures video and audio from the game being recorded. In order to get voice audio for your gameplay, you may want to consider an external audio capture device or a capture card that supports capturing
audio of these together.

I hope this information helps.

Hello dear Gamer, it's a pleasure to help you today.

My name is Lucas O

I am a gamer and expert on the XBOX platform.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience this situation is causing you.

Welcome to the community.

I hope I can help you in the best way.

Do you stream with a capture card? That would be the only way to capture party chat audio and get it to play for the stream!

Best regards,

Lucas O.

I'm afraid you haven't helped.

As mentioned the capture cared records the game audio, it records party audio.

It is not recording public mic audio.

As the game audio and public mic audio come through the same channel, and the capture card is recording game sound perfectly, im led to believe its a privacy issue.

If I could get confirmation, or assistance, that would be great.

Your open ended, ridiculously obvious answer did nothing but fill a post on the forum.

Nice one, thanks for the help.

Anyone else offering useful assistance?

For that you would need a capture card to stream from the PC with the in game chat audio

Hi AnthonyMurdock,

Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with getting your friends’ audio to come through in your game captures. I have a quick question that I’d like you to answer before I can further troubleshoot you.

Based off the information I see in your post - I would assume that you are playing on a PC and are trying to make captures via the Xbox Game Bar? And encountering audio issues within Xbox Game Bar captures?

If so, there is a Mixer that is built into the Xbox Game Bar that you can fiddle with that can help your friends’ audio come through clearer in game captures/recordings. To access the Mixer, press “Win + G” to open the Game Bar, navigate to the Audio tab (Looks like a speaker in the top ribbon, or will auto open with the Game Bar), and navigate to Mix.

Under Mix, you will see all the applications open on the device and a volume slider for each app. I believe that by default all of the sliders are at 100%, but if not, you can change it to 100% or whatever volume level you prefer.

Also, within Settings in the Xbox Game Bar – there is a section labeled Capturing and then a sub-section titled “Audio to Record”. I believe by default it is set as Game which is just your game and your mic. You can change it to All as that includes Game audio, your microphone, apps, and your computer system. That would probably help include audio from other programs such as Discord/Teamspeak into your captures!

I hope these suggestions help! If this answered your question, please mark the thread as “Answered.”
