how to fix muffled mic?

Hello Bray💀 my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

Beforehand, it is important that you keep in mind that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox. All users help each other with common problems.

I am very sorry for the problem you are going through, with the intention of being able to help you, I did an internal search in Xbox support and I found a publication where it mentions some steps to solve this problem with the microphone and I thought it was good information, which you should take into account. :

If you can hear other members of a group or game but they can't hear you, try these solutions.

Solution 1: Make sure your headphones are not muted

Check that the orange LED next to the mute button is not on.

Solution 2: Power cycle the console
For help, see: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/power/restart-or-power-cycle-console

Solution 3: Re-associate your controller with your profile

Press the Xbox  button to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories.

Select your controller and then the (...) button.

Under Assigned to, choose your gamertag.

Solution 4: Check the NAT type of your network

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows you to hide your IP address from devices that are not on your network. For more information about NAT, see the "Current Network Status" section at: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/connect-network/network-settings

Solution 5: Try your Xbox One chat headset

To test your headphones, start a group (requires an Internet connection) to check your audio:

Sign in to your console.

Press the Xbox  button to open the guide.

Under Groups & chats, select Start a group. (You don't need to invite anyone for this test.)

Make sure the microphone is not muted in the group chat.

Note: You can use the Y button  on the controller to turn the sound on or off.

Make sure the headphones are not muted and the TV volume is turned up high enough.

Speak into the microphone. If the headphones are working, you will see the ring around your gamer image light up.

If you still can't hear your friends online after starting a party, but you hear sound when using in-game chat or another app like Skype, see: https://support.xbox.com/help/friends-social-activity /parties-chat/troubleshoot-parties

To test the headphones on a Windows PC:

Download Skype on PC if it is not already installed.

Turn on your controller and make sure the Xbox Button  is lit to indicate that it is on.

Connect headphones to the controller.

Select Tools and then Options. Next, select Audio Settings from the General menu to test the microphone and speakers. Make sure you have selected your Xbox One Headset from the device drop-down list while testing.

Note: When you set up Skype for the first time, you'll be asked to check the sound and video quality.

sometimes theres an issue with the connection between speaker and mic in the headset itself, like its too sensitive, or the ear muffs arent strong enough to muffle the speaker volume. If others are hearing an echo but you're not, the headset volume may
be turned up a notch too high. Or, if your mic came with a boom cover (little foam bit on the end of a microphone), be sure to use it. Won't fix the sound completely, if the issue is poor noise suppression in the headphones, but can help muffle it.

thanks. didnt know if it had anything to do with the similar issues with the polk 4shot mic being incredibly muffled.

I do have the proper mic selected but say I’m listening to music and the. The microphone is used in a game it muffles the music coming through the headphones
