I bought a pair of Astro A50's, but they won't connect. I've tried contacting them, but they don't know why it won't work. They suggested contacting xbox, so here I am. The audio works but the microphone won't detect no matter what I do.

That's weird, the problem it's with the xbox or you have problem on pc too?

on the xbox app click on your profile image at the top right then click settings, after that you'll see audio on the left, click audio and make sure your input and output devices are set up.

Okay, I just discovered an issue:

The Xbox Stereo Headset's microphone does NOT work when connected via a USB hub, even if it's the only device attached to the USB hub. The microphone is detected, but it does not detect any sound in the volume meter.

As soon as I plug my Xbox One controller directly into the Surface Pro 2, the microphone immediately detects sound.

If I go in the Xbox game bar the microphone settings detect my mic and the bar goes up but when I'm in a game or party nobody can hear me

Hi ethan1222, my name is Oskayra and I will be happy to help you.

Based on the symptoms you describe, it sounds like there is an issue with the way the Xbox Game Bar is configured to use your microphone.

Here are some things you can try to fix the problem:

1. Check that your microphone is properly connected to your PC. Make sure it is connected to a compatible USB or audio port and that it is turned on.

2. Check your microphone settings. Open the Windows Sound Control Panel and make sure your microphone is selected as the default input device.

3. You can also check the microphone sensitivity level to make sure it is set correctly.

4. Check your Xbox Game Bar settings. Open the Game Bar and go to Settings > Group Chat. Make sure the microphone you want to use is selected in the Input selection box.
If you have tried all of these and the problem persists, you can try the following:

5. Reinstall Xbox Game Bar. To do this, open the Windows Settings menu and go to Apps & Features. Search for "Xbox Game Bar" and click "Uninstall." Once Game Bar has been uninstalled, restart your PC and reinstall it.

6. Update your audio drivers. Outdated audio drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Xbox Game Bar. To update your audio drivers, open Windows Device Manager and search for "sound, video, and game controllers." Right-click your device's audio driver and select "Update Driver."

If you've tried all of these solutions and the issue still persists, you can contact Xbox Support for help.

Here are some additional tips that may help you fix the problem:

1. Close all other applications that may be using your microphone. This includes apps like Discord, Skype, and Zoom.
Try using a different microphone. If you have an external microphone, try connecting it to your PC and see if it works.

2. Try using a different USB port to connect your microphone. Sometimes USB ports can cause compatibility issues with microphones.

I hope this helps you solve the problem. good luck
