Mic not working through game streaming

While using my mic in the xbox app party chat it works perfectly fine, but while streaming it won't work on the console. Mic is unmuted at the top of the screen and I have had it working before but now it doesn't work at all for some reason.

Mic won't work through game streaming

Ever since the update on xbox, my mic does not work through game streaming. On the top right it now shows a mute mic symbol. My mic is working fine as it works when I'm not using game streaming and just am playing on my xbox. How can I fix this?

Hi,

Based on how you describe the issue, it appears that the Xbox App was affected after the update on your Xbox. There are several reasons why you are experiencing this issue.

To resolve your concern, check for new Windows Updates on your computer and install them. You can click this

link and follow the steps on how to check for new Windows Updates.

If you are still experiencing the same issue, we recommend that you manually update the Xbox App by following the steps below:

1. Click Start, and then type Windows PowerShell on the search box.
2. Right-click, and then select Run as administrator.
3. Type the following command to uninstall Windows Store: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage
4. Hit Enter.
5. Launch Windows Store again and download
   Xbox App.

We will appreciate if you can update us the results so if these solutions won't work, we will find another way to resolve your concern.

 

Having the exact same issue myself. Installed a new sound card over the weekend and unsure if that caused it, but it works everywhere else in the system. Both the Xbox and Xbox Beta app used to work, now, neither will stream my mic.

 

Good afternoon, both of you! If you're experiencing this issue, please download the beta version of our app and click on the feedback section to submit a report of your experience. We'd love to track this issue for you and I will get it routed to the correct
people as soon as possible.

 

I don't know if this is the right thread to put this in but it seems relatable. The xbox app came with Win 10 and in it is a Xbox One Stream feature. I had an idea to record the in game chat of the game while playing. I started streaming and plugged in a
headset but to my dismay the headset did not relay any voice. It appeared connected on the television/game and the mute button lit up but no voice would play through the mic. I tried plugging in the headset before running the stream but that just caused the
stream to reveal the error message: "We couldn't stream from your console. Try again later.". It is kinda hard to record in game chat when you cannot talk while streaming. I am not sure if this is a glitch or a known programmed safeguard. If anyone has any
info that could help please let me know.

P.S. The recording application and the external mic used to record my audio were not in use when the above events occurred.

 

Hi TFlex, Sorry to hear your experiencing issues with recording. Can you try the latest version of Xbox App (Beta) to see if you can reproduce this issue? You can DL the Beta app located here: www.microsoft.com/.../9NBLGGH1J27H.
If you still experience the issue, click the happy button on the left NAV bar and use "Report a problem". This will generate a report with helpful data to the developers to investigate. In the mean time I will call this issue out in our reports to the developers.

Thanks for the feedback,

Best
