Mic works in party chat but not game chat

I use Kinect as a mic for Ghosts but it has very big limitations. The Kinect in general has a setting that allows it to pick up your voice and use it as a mic if no mic is plugged in. This works on several games but not Ghosts. Ghosts does not recognize
the Xbones mic and will not try to use it. So you can use the mic to chat, but only if you are in a party. You can host a party switch to game chat and nothing will happen, it will not recognize the mic. But if you stick with party chat in a gamemode that
allows you to play with party chat, then you can chat with your party, but you will never be able to chat with the lobby using the Kinect in Ghosts, at least as of now and the current updates.

.

So there you have it, Use the Kinect for friends in a party, but no Kinect for game chat in ghosts. So looking forward to the adapter when it comes out for my headset.

Hi Isaiah,

It seems the issue is related to the in-game chat option not working properly in a streaming format since your mic and headsets works in other formats and they work separately on different displays.

What happens if you invite your brother's profile to an Xbox Live party chat and communicate that way? Is there an audio or mic issue when forming a party chat and choosing to not speak in game chat?

Hi, I looked up a solution to your audio problem and apparently one of the fixes was to update the controller.

https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/update-xbox-wireless-controller

1. If you have a stereo headset adapter, plug it into the bottom of your controller so it can also get updates.
2. If you're using a stereo headset adapter, plug in a headset (a headset must be plugged in so the adapter will turn on).
3. Press the Xbox button
    to open the guide, select Profile & system > Settings >
   Devices & streaming > Accessories, and then select the controller you want to update.
   
4. On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select “…” to check the firmware version for your controller.
   
5. If it says “Update,” select Firmware version, and then follow the steps provided.
   

none of the fixes in the link work or relate to my issue

this happened to me in comp a couple of weeks ago, i just unplugged my mic a few times and restarted my controller and it seemed to work. if not, the above steps might work better for you!
