Microphone not working on Windows Xbox App

Can everyone try this:

Type "Microphone privacy settings" in the search bar at the bottom left of Windows. Scroll down and enable the microphone for Xbox app.

Come back here and let me know if this worked.

Good day!

Hello StC SpOrTsTeR,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

We understand that you are trying to use your microphone on Xbox app for Windows. We know it is important for you especially when you'd like to talk to your friends while gaming. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

This could happen because the microphone/headset's driver is not updated or else did not match the Windows system update. To have a better understanding, we would like to further isolate your concern.

1. Are you using a headset built-in microphone or a separate microphone? Please provide the make and model.
   
2. May we ask if you can use Xbox Game Bar? Please try to use the feature of Xbox Game Bar - record a clip. Where you can play and record your game then try to speak through your microphone. Here are the steps:
   
   • Enable Xbox Game Bar on PC settings and search on the search bar - Xbox Game Bar or else go to Gaming and turn on Xbox game bar.
     
   • On Xbox Game Bar (press Windows + G on keyboard), under capture widget ensure the microphone is enabled.
     
   • Launch a game and go back to Xbox Game Bar (press Windows + G on keyboard), and record a clip
     
   • Narrate the game or speak to the microphone and end the recording.
     
   • Listen to the recording and see if you can hear your voice.
     

Let us know the result and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We may recommend further troubleshooting steps once we have received your answers to the above questions.

Hi Guys,

My microphone and audio output in the Xbox Windows app does not work, I also find no option.

Do I have to seriously earn a complete Equiptment (XBOX hardware) in order to communicate with people on the PC within the app?
