    Skype Incoming Audio and Ambient Noise Problem


    My biggest annoyance with using Skype on my XBOX One is any time that there is a noise in my room during a call, the incoming audio gets cut/muted. This actually seems like some attempt by Skype to filter out any possible feedback loops.

    I live in CO and I talk to my parents in TX. So when my kid walks in the room and makes just a little bit of noise while one of my parents is talking, all of the incoming audio immediately shuts off and I can see them talking but there is no audio. So I
    have to ask them to repeat that since there was too much noise in the room. I explained what was going on to them and they said that they don’t have that problem with the Skype for Windows software. This seems to be limited to the XBOX One. I even tested the
    problem with a headset thinking it might be an issue with the Kinect but the same thing happened again.

    It’s like trying to talk to them with a voice activated walky-talky instead of having a conversation over a conventional cell phone. Any amount of moderate sound (or speech) in the room cuts that incoming audio. It like the XBOX One is only capable of either
    talking or listening and never both or it defaults to talking…

    Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

    :)

    Xbox App on windows - Strange Noise For Anyone Who Hears

    Hello, I have this problem ...

    When I join group chat with the xbox application on windows, people hear a loud noise

    Details:

    - I listen to them normally.

    - Test by the native app "voice recorder", there is no such noise.

    - Testing "listening to the device" by the microphone properties does not have this noise.

    - Try skype, do not make noise.

    - I reinstalled windows.

    "I've checked cables, and also if there's something to compromise noise interference."

    - I reinstalled and updated audio drivers.

    - Microphone sensitivity at zero.

    - I have already modified and tested several options in the settings of the xbox app on windows referring to the microphone and speaker.

    ... after an update of the windows xbox app started this problem ...

    it makes no sense for me to do any other test since skype works perfectly both microphone and loudspeakers, has some problem in the xbox app and I can not solve it in any way.

    follows the audio link with the noise:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZI82h-UvmCU7zB4LELCk3CZ_jVqlo7NO/view?usp=sharing

    remembering that this noise does not present in a conversation by skype, not even using the windows voice recorder or any other form of communication, outside the xbox app.

    Can you help me?

    Mic only picking up voices

    Main button, go to the right on the system tab, and then enter the Audio option!

    See if the mic is activated

    And then put the audio monitoring louder than it is. Increase as you wish.

    The higher it is, the more your microphone will be "sensitive" to picking up sounds.

    But again, the mic has a voice capture software, not sounds like music and ambient noises ok?

    How to play Jackbox games with friends/family remotely

    I tried this today with 3 people including myself. I used Skype to share the app window with a Jackbox game (Drawful 2) while also using Skype as the conference call method. The screen share was okay, but the other people couldn't hear voice audio from
    the game (explaining directions) but they could hear the other game music and noises. Anyone else have this problem with using Skype this way?

    stealth 700 gen2 max for ps ruining audio when in call

    Hello, Paxton my name is Oskayra I am an independent advisor and player like you I hope I can help solve your problem today

    It's definitely frustrating when your Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max for PS5 suddenly starts ruining the audio quality during calls on your computer. Here are some potential reasons and troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

    Possible Reasons:

    Audio Settings Conflict: Conflicting audio settings between your computer and the headset can cause distorted audio during calls.

    Microphone Interference: Background noise or other audio sources near your microphone might be causing interference.

    Microphone Sensitivity: The microphone sensitivity might be set too high, picking up unwanted noise.

    Outdated Drivers: Outdated audio drivers on your computer might not be compatible with the headset, leading to audio problems.

    Hardware Issues: A hardware issue with the headset or the microphone itself could be the culprit.

    Troubleshooting Steps:

    Check Audio Settings:

    On your computer, ensure the default audio device is set to the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max.

    Double-check the call application's audio settings and confirm the correct microphone and speaker are selected.
    Adjust the mic volume and gain levels to ensure clear audio transmission without distortion.

    Minimize Background Noise:

    Use the headset in a quiet environment with minimal background noise.
    Position the microphone away from your mouth to minimize breathing sounds.
    Consider using a pop filter to further reduce unwanted noise.

    Adjust Microphone Sensitivity:

    On your computer, find the microphone settings for the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max.

    Lower the microphone sensitivity to reduce the pickup of ambient noise.
    Experiment with different sensitivity levels to find the optimal balance.
    Update Audio Drivers:

    I really hope your problem has been fixed with my help, have a nice day. Oskayra
