I don't know if it is related but I had a similar issue where my microphone was working in Discord for a few seconds then would stop. I ended up going to the Settings --> Privacy --> Microphone and view the apps that are allowed to use the microphone.
Xbox Game Bar is unchecked by default I think.

Also, if you have another program open that can use the microphone it will possibly override other programs. For example, The Division 2 game will make Discord no longer work if I turn the in game audio on to my main microphone.

Hi,

A corrupted data may cause your Xbox App Party Chat to have a loud static sound. Here are steps on how to uninstall and reinstall Xbox app:



1. Click Start, and then type Windows PowerShell on the search box.



2. Right-click, and then select Run as administrator.



3. Type the following command to uninstall Xbox app: Get-AppxPackage *xboxapp* | Remove-AppxPackage



4. Hit Enter.





Launch Windows Store and download Xbox App.



Let us know how it turns out.

Same issues persist after uninstall/reinstall

If I have discord, and Battle.net open would this be a cause?

In this case to talk to the microphone only if your Microphone has the correct pinout for the control, one solution is also to use the Discord App on the mobile phone to chat with the groups.
