Microphone doesn't work in cod game chat.

kinect is awful, i use it for just for voice commands such as 'xbox record' or 'snap' just a microphone for me.. and it's nice to use it as an alternate voice chat mic (if the game supports it which cod STILL doesn't)

Hey Homie! Unfortunately, even with this option enabled, it doesn't mean it will work in every game. The reason is because developers specifically have to program this option in when developing the game. For example, in CoD Ghosts, the Activision support
team has confirmed that Kinect will only work in a party, not in regular MP chat, because "Ghosts was designed to require a dedicated microphone." In other words, a microphone which isn't multitasking between chat and voice commands.

The only games in which I have noticed Kinect working for chat are BF4 and N4S:Rivals. Unfortunately the only way to 100% guarantee your use of Kinect for chat is to join or start a party, which isn't always a convenient option. Sorry, man!

That generic support doesn't really apply here. The problem is with a PC microphone, not an Xbox One microphone. The Xbox App on PC detects the mic and it works if I start a party via the app, but it doesn't work in any capacity on the Xbox One for parties
or game chat.

Hello, if you're talking about COD, and it's game chat, you have to lower the trigger sensitivity of the microphone in the game settings. If my memories are good, the basic setting is 3.3. Get it down to 0 and everything should work out

Hello Marques1084,

Thank you for sharing your concern here in Xbox Community Forum and we hope that all is well.

Based on the description, the issue is happening in your friend's end since it is working perfectly in your end. Let us check how we can help you with this concern.

It is possible that the privacy settings Allow communication with Everyone on your friend's profile is not set. Let your friend check the setting. If your friend's account is a child account, the parent or organizer of the Microsoft family settings app can make the changes. The child account can only see the settings.

To change the settings, here is how: (Note: This should be performed on your friend's end since the issue is only happening to the other end)

• Press the Xbox button to open the guide and select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox privacy. Select View details & customize > Communication & multiplayer, and then make the changes.
  
• Unmute or unblock the person you’re trying to chat with. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then select Parties & chats. Select the party to expand the party roster, choose the person you want to unmute, and select Unmute.
  
• Check the party chat volume for each person in your party. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then select Parties & chats. Select the party to expand the party roster, choose the person you want to check, and then verify that their volume slider is at a level that you can hear. To change the volume level, move left or right using the D-pad or the left stick to adjust the volume slider.
  
• Check that you have joined party chat from within the party window.
  
• Check to make sure you’re not in a Discord voice channel. If you are, it’ll say “Discord” and the name of the channel. If you’re in a Discord voice channel, go to the following page for troubleshooting suggestions: How to use Discord with Xbox
  
• Check to see if the party member who is unable to be heard has Noise Suppression enabled on their settings. To toggle this on and off:
  
  1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide and select Parties & chats.
     
  2. Highlight the party listed and then press the A button > Options.
     
  3. Turn Noise Suppression on and off.
