microphone isn't working in Xbox party chat on PC

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.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with your microphone not working your party chat on PC.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please check Windows privacy settings. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone and ensure Xbox has permission to access your mic.

And then verify default audio device by opening sound Settings, go to Recording, and set your headset as the default device.

Next is to check Xbox app settings. Do this in the Xbox app, go to Settings > Audio, and make sure the correct microphone is selected.

Then run Windows troubleshooter. Go to Settings > System > Sound, then select Troubleshoot under Input Devices.

It is also important to make sure that your SteelSeries Sonar software and headset drivers are up to date.

If using a wired connection, kindly plug your headset into a different USB port and test it out.

Once done performing the troubleshooting steps, please restart Xbox App and PC.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I am able to say "Hey cortana" and cortana opens and works properly. When I go to control panel and perform microphone setup, the microphone works perfectly.

But when I open XboxApp and start party chat, I still get the error "The sample rate for your microphone isn't supported"
Still after all troubleshooting steps done so far, every application that utilizes the microphone has no problem. The only application that has a problem is the XBOX APP when I connect to or start a Party chat.

I think the Blue microphones are all USB microphones, so I'm not sure you'd be able to use it for stream chat on your PC and game chat on your Xbox console at the same time. It's probably possible if you use the Xbox app on your PC for party chat though.

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!
