Recording with X Box Game Bar screen capture and Microphone results in audio delay

Did You Get Sniped · Jun 13, 2023

I was trying to record my gameplay on a steam game with my Blue Yeti, but found after I recorded there was an audio delay. I tried just about everything, from updating my canary insider to the newest version to messing with the registry. Nothing seems to fix this delay. I have checked the update logs and don't see anything about X Box game bar audio at all. Please help, thanks.

Hello Did You Get Sniped,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I can see that you are having issues recording with Xbox Game bar, let me see how I can assist you with this concern.

There are a few possible causes and solutions for this problem. Here are some steps you can try:

- Make sure your Windows 10 and Xbox Game Bar are up to date. You can check for updates in the Settings app or the Microsoft Store app.

- Try repairing and restoring the Gaming Services app and the Xbox Game Bar app. You can do this by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, then finding the apps, clicking on them, and selecting Advanced options. Then click Repair and Restore for each app.

- Try adjusting the audio settings in the Xbox Game Bar. You can do this by opening the Xbox Game Bar, clicking on the Settings icon, then going to Audio. You can change the audio quality, bitrate, and sample rate of your recordings.

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?
