No audio once in Xbox party chat PC

DUB7030 · Dec 5, 2022

When i try to join a party through the Xbox app i can no longer hear the game or any sound from the computer? Anyone know how to fix this? This has been a constant issue for a very long time and Microsoft is refusing to fix it. The internet is littered with millions having the same issue or issues. I'm getting extremely pi**** that they cant fix these issues. I'm trying to use my Skullcandy Crushers threw bluetooth for in game audio and party chat. A lot may have to deal with garbage bluetooth drivers on windows. The only way i can get both working at the same time is when I have hands free AG audio set as default for both recording and playback. But when I do this the audio coming threw is absolute garbage and renders it pretty much useless. ITS THAT TERRIBLE! Ive tried changing the audio sample rate but the hands free AG for some reason has it greyed and set to the lowest possible setting which is 1 channel, 16bit, 16000hz. These headphones will definitely go higher because the other option for the headphones in the playback section allows me to go up to 2 channel, 16 bit, 44100hz which is even lower than using a dedicated audio card.

Close the settings.
Ensure everything works by looking at the party chat window (that you didn't close) and see that your mic works by the circle that'll highlight around your icon. Or hearing from someone by ensuring their circle lights up as well.

Yes I have and it doesn't change the audio quality. I have everything turned up all the way and the issue still persists.

Hello DUB7030,

Have you tried adjusting the audio setting from your Xbox game bar?

Please see the image below, maybe this will help.

Are you able to change these options?

Someone on a Reddit suggested that it is related to the microphone in the headset:

"Its related to their built in mic, disabling it in window’s audio control panel fixes it, but is only a viable solution if you use a mic that isnt the one built into the headphones"

From a Reddit from someone asking why game audio cuts out when using Discord or Zoom which is similar to your issue:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Skullcandy/comments/k2r4nj/crusher_wireless_audio_issues/

Obviously, the best way to test it is to buy a separate mic (something like this is cheap and works quite well..I bought one to troubleshoot my own system: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1)

and try, assuming that the information provided in that reddit is accurate
