No audio from microphone in x box game bar clips

Wrbiccz · Jul 13, 2022

When i record a clip through xbox game bar i cant hear my voice from mic, but I can hear my friends from discord and game sounds and other stuff. In the past sometimes I could hear myself and sometimes not, but now all my clips are without my voice. I chose the option to record everything(games, apps, system). When I choose the "game" option I can hear my voice. I went through every single privacy setting and found no solution.

May I know if you already have set your default microphone as input device?

Open Xbox Game Bar > Go to Audio widget > Select the Voice

Change Windows default input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Change Default communications input and output to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Scroll down to More Settings > Xbox Party Chat

Change Audio output and input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Verify that push to talk is not enabled

Finally open the Xbox app

Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the page

Select Settings > Audio

Set your default Input device and output device to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Verify that push to talk is not enabled again

Please also double check if you have audio enhancements enabled, if yes disable it.

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

Thanks Brad. I went to the Companion app and it redirects me to the Windows 10 settings that you outlined above. Based on this, looks like the microphone has to be connected to the PC to record my own voice. Is there a way I can request this as a feature?

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

There isn't a way to recover audio on an already recorded clip. But you can make sure the Microphone is enabled for your next recording.

- Go to Settings (press Windows + I key together) > Privacy.

- On the left hand pane scroll down and look for Microphone.

- Toggle Allow apps to access Microphone to ON.

- Under Choose which Microsoft Store app can access your Microphone toggle Xbox game bar to ON.

- Restart the game bar.

Hope this helps.

Hello TaraTrimmer,

This is a common problem that many Xbox game bar users face when they want to chat with their friends using a microphone. The pinned dialogue box can be very annoying and obstruct your view of the game. Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this issue. Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Open the Xbox game bar by pressing Windows + G keys on your keyboard.

2. Click on the Settings icon (the gear) on the top right corner of the game bar.

3. Select Audio from the left sidebar menu.

4. Under Microphone, find the option that says "Show microphone in overlay when broadcasting or capturing".

5. Uncheck this option and click on Apply.

6. Close the Settings window and the dialogue box should disappear from your screen.

Now you can enjoy your game without any distractions and still chat with your friends using your microphone. Hope this helps!
