Game DVR degrades audio quality

When I try to use game DVR to record gameplay with voice commentary included the audio lowers to an absolutely abysmal quality. However it's not necessarily the case when I record the game audio alone. The audio quality comes back to it's standard decent
quality. Please note that I already tried to change audio quality from 128 kbs to 192 kbs and could not notice any changes. Can this be fixed by any possible way?

Game DVR Windows 10 Update, Microphone Quality now Poor

Good Afternoon,

I'm having problems with the Windows Xbox One App when it was updated with the major windows 10 update last week on my laptop.

When I record games using the in game DVR the microphone quality has dropped significantly since the update. I've checked under Game DVR settings and the Audio Quality is set to 192 Kbps.

This is not an issue with the Microphone/Hardware but an issue with the App itself because when I record using other software the quality is outstanding, as it was with the Xbox One Game DVR prior to the update.

How can I fix the issue?

Kind Regards,

Sam.

Game audio is never great to begin with, and with any wireless sound transmission, and anything other than hdmi, the sound will degrade. (Including optical audio). Wireless audio will not sound nearly as good as wired audio, and even that varies greatly. Wireless audio includes headsets that are wired to the controller, as there is some level of compression and therefore loss, in all but the highest quality (therefore expensive) wireless headphones. (Eg sennheiser rs series). I also guarantee, no gaming headset would use this technology, as it is somewhat impractical, and expensive, and gaming headsets are already overpriced, and have very poor audio when compared to good headphones in the same price bracket. So if audio is important to you, don't even buy a gaming headset, make your own out of a good pair of headphones.
