Mic keeps cutting out and not working

Hi, my name is Marvina and I will be happy to help you.

I'm sorry you have this problem. Follow the instructions below for a solution.

Check the Xbox status page. If there are any services with alerts, expand that service, scroll down to Notifications, and sign in to receive a message when the service is back up and running.
Xbox status
On the taskbar, press and hold the volume icon.

Note you can also right click on the volume icon.
Select Fix sound problems and follow the instructions.

When things don't work as expected, sometimes restarting your device can fix the problem. Press the Home button , select On/Off, and choose Restart.
This is not always the most convenient solution, but sometimes it is the simplest. Make sure all ports are firmly connected when reconnecting devices.

Make sure Windows has permission to use your audio device by going to your privacy settings. For example, to check your microphone privacy settings:
Press the Home button , type settings, and select Settings.
Choose Privacy, and under App Permissions, select Microphone.

Make sure Game Bar is activated.
Xbox Game Bar highlighted in the microphone app permissions list.

Note To use many Xbox features in Game Bar, including party chat, you must have the Xbox app for Windows installed and signed in.
Get the Xbox app for Windows
Run a virus scan using Windows Security or software you have installed.

Once all viruses and threats have been removed, restart your computer.
Temporarily disable your security software and try to start or join a group again.
