Using a microphone on my PC when streaming Xbox Console with Console Companion

Hi There,

You need to go to your audio settings in control panel then communication and set which ever mic you want to use as your default device. It is most likely defaulting to your controllers mic instead of the one you want to use.

I have this problem sometimes when I have been streaming my console to the pc without any problems suddenly it stops working.

I click remove next to the console on the streaming page and do a hard reset on my xbox and shut down my pc.

I then boot up my pc and turn my xbox on and search for the xbox on my pc on the streaming page of the companion app. This normally works for me.

Hi There,

With windows 10 you can use the Xbox Companion App to stream your console to your PC.

I would like to clarify, are you pertaining to Xbox App or Xbox console companion that you’re using in streaming your Xbox console from your PC?

It depends on the type of your streaming Microphone.

If it's an USB microphone, then no.

If the Microphone has an analogue connector (e.g. 3.5mm jack), you could use a headphone/microphone to CTIA adapter, and plug your Astro into the headphone plug and your streamer microphone to the microphone plug, and then plug the CTIA adapter into the
controller.

Alternatively, if you use a third party streaming software and are screen capturing from your PC, you can start the Party through the Xbox App on your PC, and stream the game to a capture card on your PC. Then you can mix the game audio from the captured
console with your party sound (if your streaming software allows such a mix), and then stream that from your capturing PC to your streaming platform.
