My microphone doesn't want to work when I enable the option on my PC for the Xbox app.

Hello, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing with your microphone not working in the Xbox app on your PC. As an AI language model, I'm unable to view or analyze images. However, I can provide you with some general troubleshooting steps that may help resolve the issue:

Check microphone settings: Open the sound settings on your PC and ensure that the correct microphone is selected as the default recording device. You can right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "Sounds" or go to the Windows Settings > System > Sound > Sound Control Panel to access the sound settings.

Test the microphone in other applications: Try using the microphone in other applications or communication platforms (such as Skype or Discord) to determine if the issue is specific to the Xbox app. If the microphone works fine in other applications, it suggests that the problem might be related to the Xbox app itself.

Update the Xbox app: Make sure that you have the latest version of the Xbox app installed on your PC. Check for any available updates in the Microsoft Store or manually update the app to ensure you have the most recent version.

Check app permissions: Verify that the Xbox app has permission to access your microphone. You can do this by going to the Windows Settings > Privacy > Microphone and ensure that the "Allow apps to access your microphone" option is enabled, and that the Xbox app is listed and allowed.

Reinstall the Xbox app: If the issue persists, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox app on your PC. This can help resolve any potential software conflicts or corrupted files that may be causing the problem.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.

So on the xbox app I am able to create party chats but enable to speak or hear anyone. My microphone and speakers work fine on every other app except this one. When I make a party it says "We can't find your microphone". There is no option to choose my playback
and recording device (for some reason it's not a feature in the app). Anyone know a fix?

That generic support doesn't really apply here. The problem is with a PC microphone, not an Xbox One microphone. The Xbox App on PC detects the mic and it works if I start a party via the app, but it doesn't work in any capacity on the Xbox One for parties
or game chat.

What specifically doesn't work? The stream audio or the party audio?

Was that not covered in the OPs post?

"I'm unable to use the microphone on my Steelseries when coneected to my PC using a Remote Streaming session"

"just not when joining a party during a stream."

Seems to me that the OP is playing using the Remote Play function but the Microphone doesn't work when in a party chat whilst using the Remote Play. the Mic works fine when directly connected to the Xbox or used via the Xbox App

Thank you for your reply, you can only manually set instant-on from you Xbox console. One way of connecting your PC to your console is by going to use game streaming in the Xbox app.

Regards.

I'm quite confused by your response. It's as if you aren't reading what I'd provided or maybe not understanding at all.

I am using the XBOX App on my PC. In the past while using the App on my PC I would select the 'connect to xbox' option, and there's an option to 'Turn on' the XBOX. This used to work, and now doesn't. I have to go to my xbox and turn it on, and then the
App see's the xbox is on and I can begin streaming.

So, my issue is that the 'turn on xbox' option in the XBOX App for the PC doesn't work.

When the 'turn on xbox' option in the xbox app for the PC doesn't work I get the following error:

"We can't turn on your console. Make sure this device is on the same network as your console and your console is set to instant-on."

Because the error stated that I needed to set the console to instant-on I made sure to check and configure my console as such. To be clear: instant-on option on the XBOX Console is 'ENABLED'

Now the error also states that I need to check that the console is on the same network. It is! The XBOX Console and my PC are hard wired to the same network switch.
