Hello Lilliretta,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you are having trouble with the Xbox Game Bar audio recording. I understand how frustrating that can be. Here are some possible steps you can try to fix the issue:



- Check if your Windows 10 is up to date. Sometimes, outdated drivers or software can cause audio problems. To check for updates, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click Check for updates.

- Make sure your microphone and headset are plugged in correctly and not muted. You can test your microphone and headset in the Xbox Game Bar settings by clicking on the gear icon and then on Audio.

- Adjust the audio mix settings in the Xbox Game Bar. You can change the volume levels of your microphone, system sounds, and party chat by clicking on the speaker icon and then on Audio mix.

- If none of the above steps work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox Game Bar app. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features and find Xbox Game Bar in the list. Click on it and then click Uninstall. Then, go to Microsoft Store and search for Xbox Game Bar and install it again.

Hey Dr, sorry you're experiencing issues with the Game Bar. I understand how frustrating that can be when you're trying to communicate.

First, check Windows privacy settings to make sure Game Bar has mic access.

Also, verify the correct input device in Game Bar’s audio settings. If that doesn’t work, try updating audio drivers or reinstalling Xbox Game Bar using PowerShell by running Get-AppxPackage XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage.

Hope this helps you! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello Tomass Rubenis,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Xbox Game Bar sound volume. This could be caused by a number of factors, such as your audio settings, your drivers, or your system updates. Here are some steps you can try to fix it:



- Check your audio settings in the Xbox Game Bar app. Make sure the volume slider is not set to auto-adjust or mute. You can also adjust the volume of individual apps and games using the audio mixer.

- Update your audio drivers and your Windows 10 system. Sometimes outdated or corrupted drivers can cause sound problems. You can use the Device Manager to check for updates or download them from your manufacturer's website.

- Restart your computer and the Xbox Game Bar app. This can help resolve any temporary glitches or conflicts that might be affecting the sound volume.

Is this something that will be fix at a later time? I used to do podcasts from Xbox to Twitch, but with this issue I can not do it anymore.

Previously, you could choose "Include my audio". I believe you still can through the Game Bar on PC, but right now the console no longer has that ability.
