how to fix my audio and mic not working in party chat on pc

tweak e · Aug 2, 2023

3 days ago, i suddenly wasn't able to hear or talk in party chat but my mic and audio works everywhere else. It even shows that im talking and my volume is all the way up in the game bar. I've tried resetting, checking xbox and microsoft settings, reset the gamebar and checked my input and output settings, and it looks like everything works. It's just xbox party chat that doesn't work itself. Also i'd note that I can't mute or unmute in the party, not sure if this helps or is important but it might.

USB Mic hooked up to PC. Using The Windows 10 Xbox App for party chat. I have a separate headset (broken mic, thus the reason for using the Yeti) on the Xbox One X console. I want to be able to communicate, and the only way I'm able to, at the moment,
is the party app. My earbuds that have a mic on them works with the controller and console but the audio quality isn't very good. That's why I want to use my better headset to hear all the audio while I talk through the mic on the app. I don't know if it's
possible. Just hoping there's a work-around

What specifically doesn't work? The stream audio or the party audio?

Was that not covered in the OPs post?

"I'm unable to use the microphone on my Steelseries when coneected to my PC using a Remote Streaming session"

"just not when joining a party during a stream."

Seems to me that the OP is playing using the Remote Play function but the Microphone doesn't work when in a party chat whilst using the Remote Play. the Mic works fine when directly connected to the Xbox or used via the Xbox App

Hi there, have you tried your headset mic in any other device, for example a smartphone or PC?

Try and check if your mic works.

Is it possible that the mic is broken? Have you tried checking if your audio is muted via party chat or on the headset Audio settings on your console?
