Microphone not working for Game Bar

MichaelElliottYT · May 2, 2020

So I have an external microphone, a headset microphone, and an internal microphone. I disable all microphones except the external one, yet whenever I join an Xbox party, it goes to the headset microphone. I already selected the external microphone and
set it as default. Also, I fixed it but when I left and rejoined another party, it happened again. Is there a way to fix this and make the change permanent?

Hey! Whenever I select the external microphone, it doesn't do anything and stays with the headset microphone.

Did you try muting the headset mic and making sure the external mic is unmuted?

If it still doesn't work, left click the volume button on the bottom left of your screen, near the time and date. Now click sound settings. Try changing the input and output there.

Whenever I mute my headset mic it doesn't work and I went to the sound settings and it was already set to the external mic.

Hey there! On the game bar, go to your settings > party chat > and select the input as the microphone you would like to use!

If your problem persists, please reply!

Good luck!

I have rebooted, reset, terminated, deleted my mic from the PC, uninstalled Game Bar, changed privacy settings, changed my mic settings, reset my mic's settings, reset the console companion, tried using the Xbox app, reset the xbox app, and nothing has
even changed the game bar in the slightest.
