My XLR microphone makes a loud fuzzy noise when I talk through it on the Windows 11 Xbox app

Hello Brad,

Thanks for responding to my post. I use a mic that plugs into a headset and it is a turtle beach headset, Also the mic works perfectly fine for Fortnite, discord and other games its just the Xbox app. I have the speaker icon but when i right click on it
all that comes up is / Open sound settings, Open volume mixer, Spatial sounds and troubleshoot sound problems.

Thanks,

Louis

Hi louis,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue. What type of mic do you use? is it one built in the PC or is it one that plugs in? You do not have the speaker icon in bottom corner of the task bar? With the speaker you can adjust the mic monitoring. If
you try recording devices and doesn't open keep clicking it until it opens. Also make sure any enhancements there are not checked.

Thanks,

Brad

Im assuming you had microphone near console when recording which is why it sounds loud in that video.

Sounds normal to me and some of that noise will be the hard drive which makes clicky grinding type noises.

The Xbox One usually makes a noise when you start a game/app which means that the hard drive is working which causes the loud noise, it slows down afterwards when you're playing the game/app

One more thing, when recording videos with my microphone on, there's a static noise in the background, but when talking to my friends through the same mic it's clear. Can this problem have anything to do with the input lag. And this is just a small detail, no need to start helping with the static noise, just a detail, or maybe a clue.
