Microsoft Edge audio won't work on Xbox game bar

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

Hope you're doing great today JayJay22_342

This is normal buddy, I mean. Game bar blocks audio for Edge.

Probably this is to avoid DRM or copyright (you know, recording videos or movies watched on the browser)

The short answer is, game bar is working as expected. It doesn't record audio from browser

Hope it helps, greetings!

Thanks for the update
I was trying to replicate your situation, it seems Edge using the game bar recording feature is working as expected

Probably is a functionality between Edge and Game Bar to avoid any DRM issues

Hello, you have to go to the Xbox Game Bar settings (group chat), and set the correct audio output and audio input.

tell me if it works

Hello Lilliretta,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you are having trouble with the Xbox Game Bar audio recording. I understand how frustrating that can be. Here are some possible steps you can try to fix the issue:



- Check if your Windows 10 is up to date. Sometimes, outdated drivers or software can cause audio problems. To check for updates, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click Check for updates.

- Make sure your microphone and headset are plugged in correctly and not muted. You can test your microphone and headset in the Xbox Game Bar settings by clicking on the gear icon and then on Audio.

- Adjust the audio mix settings in the Xbox Game Bar. You can change the volume levels of your microphone, system sounds, and party chat by clicking on the speaker icon and then on Audio mix.

- If none of the above steps work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox Game Bar app. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features and find Xbox Game Bar in the list. Click on it and then click Uninstall. Then, go to Microsoft Store and search for Xbox Game Bar and install it again.
