Hi GGNGuiltslegion! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

You won't get the party chat audio trough the remote play in console companion app, as you can use the party chat trough the Xbox app or game bar, so it's not necessary to have it on the console and shared trough remote play.

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

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

There could be several reasons why the remote play connection is getting disconnected when you unmute your microphone. One possible reason could be a conflict between the audio settings on your device and the remote play app.

You could try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Check the audio settings on your device and ensure that the microphone is properly configured.

Update the remote play app to the latest version and check if the issue persists.

Try using a different microphone and see if that resolves the issue.

Disable any third-party audio apps or software running on your device and try connecting to remote play again.

If none of the above steps help, you could also try contacting the remote play support team for further assistance.

For me, I tend to use strictly party chat when I am communicating with my friends.

If I want to separate the party chat audio from the in-game audio,, I have to make a party in the Xbox App on Windows 10. You don't have to have your xbox even on at this point. Once the party has started in the Xbox App and my buddies join, I can hear them
fine through my xbox headset.

Now once you actually turn on your xbox, and start streaming. The Audio for the game will come through your speakers, and the audio for the Party should remain through the headset, both separate from each other.

Its not the best solution, but its definitely a clever workaround., however its not really that ideal, because it is a pain to work with, because you cannot control the party while streaming within the xbox. You literally have to end the stream and return
into the xbox app to configure the party settings.

Other than that, the only downside is, that any VOIP chat from any games will still want to push through your speakers and not your headset.
