Gamebar auto mutes mic when I change displays

it could also be that if you are in party Chat, but join a game lobby, your mic will show as muted because you are in a party. Some games will display the mic as muted when you are in XBL party chat.

Many of the headsets I have a toggle to mute my mic on my headset itself. Have you checked that out to see if you may have muted your mic? Sometimes it will be a switch that displays an orange sticker when muted.

Mute icon is always displayed ( mic with line through it ) I was assuming the headset is not an "off breed" it is a turtle beach XBOX recon50x. Starting parties and testing in all aspects of the xbox nothing changes the icon and under settings the volume
and mute buttons are "greyed out" and not accessible.

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.

Ye's I have the same issue. I find if you turn the auto mute on... then you only hear the buzzing of the Mic monitoring when you speak.

Ddefinitely an issue thou.
