Hello,

Did you check the audio settings in the Xbox settings?

Hello Demetrius Davis,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you are having trouble with the Xbox Game bar audio recording. There are a few possible reasons why this might happen, and some steps you can try to fix it.



First, make sure that your microphone and speakers are set as the default devices in Windows settings. To do this, go to Settings > System > Sound and select the devices you want to use under Input and Output. You can also test your microphone and speakers there to make sure they are working properly.



Second, check the Xbox Game bar settings and make sure that the audio recording is enabled and configured correctly. To do this, press Windows + G to open the Xbox Game bar, then click on the Settings icon on the top right corner. Under Capture, make sure that Record game audio is turned on, and adjust the audio quality and volume as needed. You can also choose whether to record your own voice or not.



Third, if the problem persists, you may need to update your audio drivers or reinstall the Xbox Game bar app. To update your audio drivers, go to Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers, right-click on your audio device and select Update driver. To reinstall the Xbox Game bar app, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, find Xbox Game bar in the list and click on Uninstall. Then, go to Microsoft Store and search for Xbox Game bar and install it again.

Hi Mbathula,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. With recording your voice it will not do this through the game bar itself. You either have to do it through the Xbox companion app or have a capture card. As this guide for

setting up streaming windows 10 shows it will only record from the Microphone on the PC not the headset.

Recorded audio

Record game play with or without sounds from your game and your microphone, and choose the audio quality.

• To record game sounds with your game clips, turn on Record audio when I record a game.
• To choose a different audio quality than the default, select the Audio quality box and choose one of the options.
• To record through your microphone, turn on Record audio when I record a game.

Thanks,

Brad
