Mic Static Only on Xbox game bar

So, Since I updated my xbox game bar recently all my friends in my party have been hearing a static noise at randomly intervals is there any way to fix this?

PS. My mic works fine on other apps

Since you've mentioned that this happened after the update start troubleshooting the issue by running the Windows Update Troubleshooter for Windows 10 (microsoft.com), then follow the steps mentioned here => How to perform a clean boot in Windows (microsoft.com).

Thats what I'm doing.. the only thing I am doing different from playing keyboard/mouse is the controller itself. but when i plug it in every setting on the pc changes to controller mic. Even though the controller has no mic. So I go back through all the
pc settings and xbox companion settings and change it back but the xbox game bar will not let me use the usb mic anymore. I have to unplug the controller and reset the pc to be able to use my mic again. when I start a party in the companion app it says my
mic is working , but if i am in a party on that app for some reason I'm not in a party on the game bar... so if i start a party on the game bar the mic still doesn't work..

Try to lower your white noise in your background to a minimum and then in fortnite settings under audio lower your mic monitoring
