mic sounding laggy on xbox app on my pc

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Jason

Please try and double check the next:

"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 input device under Input.

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 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.

If that doesn't work try this:

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.

Hello Stratus,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. I don't think there is an option to disable the mic from in the Xbox app settings. You would have to disable the mic from your windows pc settings.

In the Settings app, navigate to " Privacy " and then to " Microphone " appearing on the left panel.

[*]On the right panel, toggle the button to Off under " Let apps use my microphone"
[*]You would have to adjust this setting once you are done streaming if you want the mic to be activated for other apps. There may also be a setting for you to disable the mic in your sound options as well.

So i do have a USB mic connected to my PC to use as my main mic for my stream but I have Astro A50 connected to my xbox for game sound and game chat

THIS WORKED FOR ME! MY MIC SOUNDED AWFUL IN ONLY XBOX APP NOT DISCORD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. RECOMMEND THIS.

Just to clarify a couple things:

The system doesn't detect the mic, but do you still hear sounds through the headset at all?

When you connect the headset to the PC does the PC recognize the mic and you can record to the PC with it? (you can test the mic volume to see if the PC is actually registering any sound from the mic)
