Game bar not working for PC xbox party

No matter what settings i try the xbox party chat doesnt work. the privacy settings are all open. The audio output and input devices are correct, but no matter what i do I cannot get the xbox chat to work. only in game VoIP's work.

Please for the love of god, Xbox fix this, it seems like a big problem lots are having, what's the point of having xbox parties if they don't even work. discord works perfect

Edit: will keep this up for others. this is for Windows 11

• 
  make sure all audio settings are set to the correct input and out, my case was setting everything to realtek stereo.
  
  
• 
  look at settings inside the xbox app, go to top left, then settings, then audio (make sure gamebar is active), set those input/outputs to the ones you use.
  
  
• 
  open game bar with "Windows key + G". set the audio settings again to proper channels via "mix" and "voice" channels in "audio" panel. also in here (where my problem was). go to party chat hit the 3 dot, click "party audio" and set those to proper channels.
  
  
• 
  go to xbox website and check your profile options under privacy and make sure it's all set to open to allow voice and text chat to everyone
  
  
• 
  make sure the sound output is set to to their proper channes in Windows home screen via the drop window in the bottom right, "select a sound output" (or windows key + Ctrl + V), go to "Mixer Volume", select "more Mixer settings" via the gear. make sure all those channels are set to proper input/output.
  
  
• 
  Go to computer settings, look under "installed apps", search xbox and make sure the "xbox app" and "xbox live" is set to "always on" for background. scroll all the way down and click "system components" and search "game bar" and make sure that is set to always on for background too.
  
  
• 
  also one last things, make sure the game audio inside the game settings is set to proper channel's for inout/output.
  

I hope this helps someone! because I've been trying to figure it out over multiple game sessions.
