My mic on the windows 11 xbox game bar is not working

Hello CaseAnemone5434, my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

Beforehand, it is important that you keep in mind that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

I am very sorry for the problem you are going through, with the intention of being able to help you I did an internal search on the Microsoft forum and found a publication by Gerardo C., an independent advisor, where he suggests the following steps to try to solve the problem:

Please try resetting the Xbox Game Bar as follows:

1. Press the Windows + I keys on your keyboard to open Windows Settings and click "Applications."

2. Find the application called "Xbox Game Bar" and select it, then click "Advanced Options" and then "Reset" and confirm the process.

3. Restart your PC and check if the problem is fixed.

Sincerely,
Oskayra.
