Mic on Xbox Party Chat (On My PC) cuts in and out constantly

/u/3leggedgoatdance · Apr 18, 2023

My friends are constantly complaining that my mic cuts in and out like a CD skipping when I'm on party chat. I've confirmed it's not the actual mic - I've tried it with both my gaming headset and my computer's mic, and the issue persists. I've also tried repairing the app, etc. but it keeps coming up.

Anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with your mic cutting off in a party.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Spoon5602 are you gaming and having a party chat on the Xbox console?

Or you are having a party chat on a Windows PC?

Please give an update in order for the correct steps on the right platform will be given. Thank you very much.

Hi CaptainCDN,

The best way I've found to share my party chat from my xbox to a stream or game recording, is having a secondary account logged in on my Xbox Companion App on my PC, and joining the party chat with that. just remember to mute its mic.

This issue randomly started happening to me. At my dorm's ISP, no issues, however back home randomly on certain days my character would suffer rubberbanding. I checked my connection on speedtest.net. My speeds were fine, great actually. But, they were fluctuating
terribly. Which meant there was a lot of jitter and packet loss. My web browsers worked fine. I just couldn't even game. Everyone in my party chat (when I was in the dashboard) said my mic was constantly cutting in and out. So, it may be your ISP.

I think that sounds like a slightly different issue. I don't get any chat audio at all once a mic cable is plugged in. I've tried a few mic cables and the problem is totally consistent. I'm waiting to test out whether I've got a defective unit here but am
having to wait due to the stock shortages. My gut feeling is that this is actually a software issue. The fact that chat audio plays through the headset before a mic is plugged in, then cuts out as soon as the mic is plugged in means that the adaptor is detecting
the mic and then incorrectly cutting out the chat audio.

hey how did you use your mic in xbox app party chat in the first place? i launched "start a party (beta)" and it shows my mic, but i can't talk or hear anyone in the party chat. and my mic is the default recording device
