Please try this to see if the audio quality improves:

"Format" for your Microphone in the sound settings for your input device?

Go to your Settings
Navigate to Bluetooth & devices
Select Devices
Scroll down to Related settings and select Sound
Select your audio Output device under output.

In the next menu, you should see Format under Input settings. Select an audio format that's no higher than 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)

Try checking if the issue persists.
If that doesn't work, try adjusting the audio format by repeating the steps above to verify if any other format works.

If that doesn't work, please try this (can be a bit odd but worth it)
Open Xbox Game Bar > Go to Audio widget > Select the Voice
Change Windows default input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
Change Default communications input and output to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Scroll down to More Settings > Xbox Party Chat
Change Audio output and input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Verify that push to talk is not enabled

Finally open the Xbox app

Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the page
Select Settings > Audio
Set your default Input device and output device to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
Verify that push to talk is not enabled again

Please also double check if you have audio enhancements enabled, if yes disable it.

Depending on your audio card - model the experience with Bluetooth devices may vary.

But let’s try to isolate the problem a bit more, for this try:
"Format" for your input and output device in the sound settings for your input device?

Go to your Settings > Navigate to Bluetooth & devices
Select Devices > Scroll down to Related settings and select Sound
Select your audio input device under Input.

In the next menu, you should see Format under Input / output settings. Select an audio format that's no higher than 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)
Try joining a party in the Game Bar or the Xbox app to verify whether or not the changes solved the issue. If that doesn't work, try adjusting the audio format by repeating the steps above to verify if any other format works.
