    My mic is being weird


    I can’t figure out why but when I’m in a game with friends or a call they say I sound far away from my mic and they say the same when I use the laptops digital mic I don’t know if this has something to do with it but my headset isn’t popping up in the input section of the sound setting but I thought it was just because my headsets wired in so I checked the pair new device and they were all Bluetooth options it seemed like so I don’t know what to do I have a dell laptop and it’s getting annoying not being able to talk to my teamates in games does anyone know how to fix this.

    My mic is being weird

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

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Jayden

    Just to confirm, your sound card drivers are up to date?

    Please double check this using your PC manufacturer website.

    If everything looks good, try this:

    "Format" for your Microphone in the sound settings for your input device

    Go to Windows Settings > Navigate to Bluetooth & devices

    Select Devices > Scroll down to Related settings and select Sound

    Select your audio input/output device under Input/output



    In the next menu, you should see Format under Input settings. Select an audio format that's no higher than 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)

    Try joining a party in the Game Bar or the Xbox app to verify whether or not the changes solved the issue. If that doesn't work, try adjusting the audio format by repeating the steps above to verify if any other format works.

    ------------

    If that doesn't work try and double check this:

    Open Xbox Game Bar > Go to Audio widget > Select the Voice

    Change Windows default input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

    Change Default communications input and output to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

    Scroll down to More Settings > Xbox Party Chat

    Change Audio output and input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

    Verify that push to talk is not enabled

    Finally open the Xbox app

    Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the page

    Select Settings > Audio

    Set your default Input device and output device to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

    Verify that push to talk is not enabled again

    Please also double check if you have audio enhancements enabled, if yes disable it.

    You can follow this quick tutorial:
