There are a few potential issues that could be causing your Xbox Game Bar and Xbox app on PC to not pick up your headset audio. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the problem:

1. Check your headset and audio settings: Make sure your headset is properly connected to your PC and that the audio settings in your PC are correctly configured. You can check and adjust your audio settings by going to the "Sound" settings in the Windows Control Panel.
   
2. Restart your PC: Sometimes simply restarting your PC can fix issues with audio not being picked up by certain applications.
   
3. Update your audio drivers: Outdated audio drivers can cause issues with audio not being picked up by certain applications. You can check for and install updates for your audio drivers by going to the manufacturer's website for your audio device and downloading the latest drivers.
   
4. Reset your Xbox app: If you're using the Xbox app to chat with friends, you can try resetting it to see if that fixes the problem. To reset the app, go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Apps & features" and then select the Xbox app. Click "Advanced options" and then select "Reset."
   
5. Repair the Xbox app: If resetting the app doesn't work, you can try repairing it. To repair the app, go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Apps & features" and then select the Xbox app. Click "Advanced options" and then select "Repair."
   

If none of these steps help, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance.

The “Xbox” app on my PC, and “Game Bar” will not work. I tried a bunch of different solutions, I even reset my pc and upgraded from windows 10 > windows 11, but nothing is working. When I open the “Xbox” app it just pops up for a second (black screen with white xbox logo in the middle) then it closes, and “Game Bar” wont open at all. Can someone please help?

(Windows 11 Home 23H2)

I own a hyper X revolver headset. I've tried just about everything I could in the game bar options in windows messing with just about every audio option in windows settings and game bar settings. It doesn't even say my mic is active but they say they can hear my spotify and game audio about like it's being played through the mic but the mic doesn't say it's picking anything up. I'm pretty sure adjusting my volume lower helps but I have it to the point where my headset is almost off on my splitter and they say they can still hear it.

Hey. So I'm currently on Windows 10 using the Xbox Companion App, and I'm trying to join my friend's party chat (who is on Xbox One). However, when I join the party (or they join my party), I can't hear them and they can't hear me. When I speak
into my microphone, I can see the party chat flare light up, so the Xbox app is picking up my mic (but I can't see their flare when they speak). I'm using a split 3.5mm jack with an Astro A10 headset. My mic works fine on Discord and other services, but for
some reason the Xbox Companion app isn't working. I've tried changing the audio settings both on the Xbox app and Windows to other devices, made sure my privacy settings allowed my mic to be used on the Xbox app, hard resetting the Xbox app, restarting my
PC, plugging my headset/mic out and back in, messed around with my mic settings on Windows and the Game Bar. For some reason, my microphone, specifically in an Xbox One party chat using the Xbox Companion app, doesn't seem to work. Both the Xbox app and Windows
is up to date. Like I said before, the party chat is picking up my mic evidenced by the flare when I speak, but my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them. I've looked up and tried almost every troubleshoot option online and nothing is working, and it's
driving me mad. It used to work on my old PC, and I just got a brand new PC yesterday as of posting this and now the problem occurs. Anyone else having this issue? Anybody know how to fix it? Please help!

Still no fix

Thats what I'm doing.. the only thing I am doing different from playing keyboard/mouse is the controller itself. but when i plug it in every setting on the pc changes to controller mic. Even though the controller has no mic. So I go back through all the
pc settings and xbox companion settings and change it back but the xbox game bar will not let me use the usb mic anymore. I have to unplug the controller and reset the pc to be able to use my mic again. when I start a party in the companion app it says my
mic is working , but if i am in a party on that app for some reason I'm not in a party on the game bar... so if i start a party on the game bar the mic still doesn't work..
