Poor Audio Quality with Blue Snowball Microphone and Xbox Game DVR

After investigating further via the audio playback tool in the sound control panel. the problem is my blue Yeti Microphone. using a different microphone the problem completely disappeared.

But I'd really like to use my Blue Yeti Microphone as the quality is simply better. if you would know, Is there why in some game scenarios specifically games that are more demanding why a microphone's quality would drop or suddenly cut out?

I do movie podcasts and have tried a bunch of different microphones. The best microphone and the cheapest one I have used is the Blue Snowball.

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

Not directly but there is another way to help you. Search YouTube for ''How to Connect a Blue Snowball Microphone to Xbox One''. There are some instructions on how to use a USB microphone on the console.

Since the Blue Snowball is an USB microphone, it does NOT work with the Xbox One currently.

Only microphones that plug into the analogue 3.5mm jack of the controller will work. Also make sure, that when you want to use a standard 3.5mm jack microphone, that you will need an adapter that puts the microphone and ground contact at the correct position
with a CTIA adapter.

Thanks for your reply, I'm still having issues after trying all possible fixes including your suggested ideas.

I spoke to a tech team agent and after deleting the app using PowerShell and testing both the Windows 10 Xbox App and Beta version the issue still persists.

We tried several other fixes but to no avail, this exclusively an issue with the Xbox in Game DVR recording when recording commentary using a microphone, the audio quality on the microphone is of a poor quality when playing back the recording. I tested several
microphones but the poor quality still exists. The in-game audio recording is fine.

This is not an issue with hardware my side. When I used other recording software such as Microsoft Voice Recorder the audio quality is perfect, as it was before the Windows 10 Xbox One App update last week. I've also tried two different computers and I'm
having the same issue. Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Sam
