Mic output keeps on going in and out

go into the settings in companion app and change output audio, mine usually sets the mic as the audio output for some reason.

thanks samy, no im trying to keep the audio coming out of the tv/stereo speakers but have a microphone to talk to friends. i think ive found a microphone which will do it but im now hoping i can adjust the mic/output in the audio settings once the mic is in

thats why i use obs to record, gamebar can record all output sound or game and mic, mic is not an output sound only input. it is pretty much usless for that.

plus obs is a damn site better.

I have updated the controller and it still doesn’t work, it still doesn’t output my mic even though I can hear the mic. However I have noticed when I join a party for half a second my xbox outputs my mic then it just stops. Is that of any help?

The mic/line in on your PC may be one of several things:

A mono mic socket: This is too sensitive for the line outputs of the XBbox

A stereo mic socket: same as above

A combined line/mic socket. If it is, and you'll have to check the spec of your PC, there will be a software switch to fiddle with so that the card doesn't use the Mic (high sensitivity) setting for the socket. Look in the taskbar for a speaker icon and
start there.

The output from the Xbox audio is a high-level signal which will distort when plugged into low-level mic sockets. Not all PC's have stereo line inputs, but many have mic only inputs.

A final option if you have an Optical input on your PC is to use the optical out from the back of the Xbox.
