My microphone doesn't work within game chat

Hello Marques1084,

Thank you for sharing your concern here in Xbox Community Forum and we hope that all is well.

Based on the description, the issue is happening in your friend's end since it is working perfectly in your end. Let us check how we can help you with this concern.

It is possible that the privacy settings Allow communication with Everyone on your friend's profile is not set. Let your friend check the setting. If your friend's account is a child account, the parent or organizer of the Microsoft family settings app can make the changes. The child account can only see the settings.

To change the settings, here is how: (Note: This should be performed on your friend's end since the issue is only happening to the other end)

• Press the Xbox button to open the guide and select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox privacy. Select View details & customize > Communication & multiplayer, and then make the changes.
  
• Unmute or unblock the person you’re trying to chat with. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then select Parties & chats. Select the party to expand the party roster, choose the person you want to unmute, and select Unmute.
  
• Check the party chat volume for each person in your party. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then select Parties & chats. Select the party to expand the party roster, choose the person you want to check, and then verify that their volume slider is at a level that you can hear. To change the volume level, move left or right using the D-pad or the left stick to adjust the volume slider.
  
• Check that you have joined party chat from within the party window.
  
• Check to make sure you’re not in a Discord voice channel. If you are, it’ll say “Discord” and the name of the channel. If you’re in a Discord voice channel, go to the following page for troubleshooting suggestions: How to use Discord with Xbox
  
• Check to see if the party member who is unable to be heard has Noise Suppression enabled on their settings. To toggle this on and off:
  
  1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide and select Parties & chats.
     
  2. Highlight the party listed and then press the A button > Options.
     
  3. Turn Noise Suppression on and off.

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.

I would take a look at to see whether or not the mic is compatible with xbox, and if it is take a look at this area https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/accessories/connect-compatible-headset

for your headset, audio connection needs. Have a wonderful day
