People can hear my laptop's sounds through any app while on a call

In the bottom right corner of your screen, you will notice the volume icon in the system tray.

Right-Click on the volume icon and click Open Sound Settings.

In the Sounds Settings window, look for Input and Choose your input device and then click the blue Device properties link (circled in red) in the screenshot below..

This will pull up the Microphone Properties window. Click the Levels Tab and you will then be able to adjust your microphone volume settings.

The volume level does not have to be at 100%, but should be high enough that the computer can detect audio.

Please make sure that your microphone is not muted. If you see the icon below, click the speaker icon to un-mute.

Once you determine the best settings for you and your system, click OK to save the settings and then close all settings windows upon completion of adjusting your microphone volume settings.

You have to lower the microphone monitoring level in the PC's audio settings

Could you give me the instructions to do this

I have had this problem only since installing the Beta App. It has affected the normal Xbox App with the same.

I have reported this on the Report Feature in the App.

FYI - I do not use the controller plugged into the Laptop via USB. As my laptop is in the same room as the Xbox I use my normal controller which is connected to the Xbox.

I can hear and talk okay when I click Stop Streaming. When I start streaming the other people in my party come through the laptop speakers not my headphone speakers and they can not hear me.

I've got no luck with the troubleshooter. The thing thinks everything works fine but it doesn't.

What's absolutely astonishing is that I can hear everything else through the intended surround sound but not the game launched through the Xbox app.

For instance, I can hear a youtube video in the background with the intended sound while the game is stuck in a weird generic stereo that is unpleasant.

I don't understand how this can even happen? It doesn't happen anywhere else simply because there's no reason that the game goes through "another" sound channels or whatever. It feels like games played through the xbox app are "wrapped" around some software
magic that renders the sound themselves (like 3rd party) instead of going through the usual drivers of the computer and it makes absolutely no sense. Infuriating really.
