Trying to record voice using xbox gamebar on pc

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today CallahanMt2005

Is this happening with this record mode only?
Which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this?

I'll look forward for your feedback, greetings from another Microsoft user!

Hi,

The first question we need to ask is have you ever been able to record using Game bar?

Gamebar recording requires compatible hardware, what PC are you using?

Gamebar on my pc will record steam gaming and youtube but will not record crave tv, netflix or tsn(audio with black screen).

Hello there!

Hello Ricsi Gulyás,

We understand your sentiment with your microphone not working. We know that microphone plays big role in playing with a friend and with that let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

Based on your description, the headset did not work after left being idle. To have a better understanding, we would like to further isolate your concern.

1. You are on PC, right? Aside from Rust, may we ask other games you encounter same issue with?
   
2. Did unplugging the headset work? Is your headset connected to PC using USB connector or 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter?
   
3. May we ask if you can try to use the microphone in recording your voice through the Voice Recorder app of your PC?
   
4. Can you please try to use other headset and see if issue persist? Also, can you record a voice on Voice Recorder app of your PC using different headset?
   
5. May we confirm if your headset will work when connected to other device (PC or mobile)? Will you be able to use the microphone by recording your voice using your device's audio recording app?
   

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



Sincerely,
