USB interface mic not working with the xbox companion app (PC)

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..

Digging a bit, seems that usb mic are not supported directly by the console, but you can use an usb mic connected to your PC and use Xbox App.

There are USB microphones that will work with the XBOX. One that works and is made for XBOX is the Turtle Beach Stream Mic. I personally have one and works great. Before purchasing it, I tried a BLUE Yet microphone which is USB and did not work. I
am not aware if there are others that work but the Stream Mic works. It also has a PC app for some fine tuning and a headphone jack for Mic monitoring and game audio

Why, the controller works? its some kind of background settings issue I think that the xbox companion app has changed when accepting use of a mic from my pc.

All the hardware works when cross checked. it can only be a software issue :/

This is so ridiculous, it is 100% a problem with the XBox Gamebar and it's use of audio interfaces. Has anyone had problems with just straight USB mics? I haven't had any USB mics not work. I started having this problem about the same time as this post. Exact issue. I have a Zoom v3 Vocal Processor connected via USB and has an XLR mic plugged in, and in Windows 11 I have only one option for the audio format. THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER! Every single other app I have on my PC can use my Zoom v3 Mic just fine, Discord, DAW Software, OBS, Video Editing software, EVEN THE FREAKIN BUILT IN "LISTEN TO YOUR MIC" setting. It all sounds fine. But when I'm using my mic in an XBOX party, using the Gamebar, it sounds like I'm a robot underwater! I heard it by listening to my friends stream that I was on. Just ridiculous! I've had to resort to using a USB mic, which sucks. Please Microsoft fix this!
