Microsoft game bar (PC) - My friends have an echo when chatting with me from their Xbox

That's not really my issue. My friends can hear me while I have Game Bar up on screen. As soon as I exit and play my game, my friends can't hear me. I just figured out that if I pin the party chat widget on game bar so it stays there when I exit game bar, my friends will still be able to hear me. For now that's what I'll stick with, but I'd like to be able to remove the party chat widget from my screen.

Are you playing a game when you get this echo?

Party chat was acting up on me one day so I used Skype to chat with a friend while we played a game. Skype was fine, but when we started Battlefield and got into a game, we noticed an echo. It ends up our voice was going through Skype and through the game
chat. We had to turn off game chat in the options in Battlefield to get rid of the echo.

Edit: Nevermind. I just noticed how old this post was. Sorry

Keep the party chat open when talking and have your friends be quiet. Start making noise for a second and see where the echo comes from. If it's coming from you then you'll need to mess with your mic settings like the audio balance between game and party
chat.

However it sounds like the echo is coming from one of your friends. Also there's nothing you can do about the mic delay unfortunately. That's just a network thing and I've noticed when my friends and I talk there's a 1-2 second delay before we hear each
other.

Yeah, me resetting my xbox caused me to have a message when I click on friends list "Add some friends" or something like that, this was in attempt to fix delayed friend statuses. I am also having a game bar issue error loading the friends list as well that transfers across two pcs on my account but on my brother's account on one of the pcs (his pc) he doesn't have that problem.

Here is my post.

zombiecreed799,

I'm sorry that you are having this problem.

Personally, I have experienced issues with my friends being able to hear themselves echo through my headset. Although I have a different headset (Polk 4shot), it may be a similar issue.

I've found that it only happens when I have the chat volume turned up too loud on my headset. When I turn the chat (and overall) volume down enough my friends can no longer hear themselves. You can try slowly turning it down while asking your friends to
keep talking and let you know when they can no longer hear themselves echoing.

Let me know if this works for you!
