Friend is auto muted on xbox gamebar

Check your audio seeting in the friends group seetings.

Hello

This may be due to the service alert up last night. You may want to try power cycling the console

Hello Maverick2311,

I understand the sentiments of the microphone. That is not something that can be resolved through an update, as it is hardware related. What I can recommend is using the auto-mute feature, which you can set up in the Xbox Accessories app.

The Auto-mute feature silences your headset mic when you aren’t speaking. This reduces the amount of ambient sound picked up by your headset. The default Auto-mute setting for the headset is Low. Increasing Auto-mute to Medium or High will result in fewer sounds being picked up by the mic.

You can also turn Auto-mute Off, so that your headset mic is only muted when you manually use the headset’s mute button.

Note If you’re experiencing issues where your friends can’t hear you speaking in chat, check your Auto-mute settings or try turning Auto-mute off.

Additionally, you can go visit this article page, and at the bottom when you scroll down, it will ask "Did this resolve your issue?" You can select Yes or No, and when you do, it will ask if you want to leave feedback, which you can give the same feedback stated here.

Hello, James! Thank you for choosing XBOX support forums. I am an Xbox Ambasador and I am pleased to assist you today.

If your friends can't hear you, first make sure that your mic isn't muted, then check in headset settings that Auto-mute is not set to High (try turning Auto-mute off). If that doesn't fix the problem, restart both devices. You should also check to see if a firmware update is available for your headset.

I hope this answered your question! If it did, please give make this an answer!
