Can you add a fade element to muting and unmuting through the audio tab in xbox game bar?

Hello, thought this would be a helpful enhancement to help create a better user experience for people using the game bar/ windows mixer functionality.

Recommendation:

open game bar

tab to the audio icon

have an additional volume selector to fade too after unmuting

let me know if you need a video example.

best,

Hey Keith, thanks for the suggestion! That sounds like a helpful improvement for a smoother audio experience.

Since feature requests like this are best handled directly by the Xbox team, I recommend submitting your using this page.

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

That way it gets to the right people and can be considered for future updates.

Appreciate you taking the time to share your input. If there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to ask.

Try muting your audio and then unmuting it in the xbox audio settings

Hey Squngebob! I had this problem a few months back. Hopefully my fix will work for you!

In the Xbox menus there are actually two different microphone mutes.

One is located in the party chat, by hitting "Y" to mute/unmute.

The other is in the "Audio & Music" tab at the bottom right of the dashboard. Inside "Audio & Music" there will be a Headset Mic ON/OFF switch. Mine was somehow set to off. I hope this helps.

Happy Gaming!

I want the option to mute the audio of a snapped ap/tv. If I'm playing a game and watching tv I want to have the option to mute/unmute the tv audio.

Hi MrDino09

Are you using a headset on the 3.5mm controller plug?

You can change the Audio Settings pressing the Xbox button on your controller and go to Settings, and there will have a Audio option where you can mute or unmute your headset and microphone.

Hope this helps!

Good game!
