"We were unable to find your microphone"

I am currently on my PC, Windows 10, on the Xbox App. I managed to join my friends party however I couldn't hear anyone. I am using HeadPhones and a Mic separately however, maybe this is the problem? Thank you for the help.

Before you go around checking for NAT issues and stuff:

Go to the messages area and try to compose a message. Then click on the microphone button and try to record a voice message.

If the microphone isn't detected, and you can't hear your voice, then it's a local issue on the controller or the headset itself.

If it is a headset with 3.5mm headphone jack and 3 rings, try if the headset works on a smartphone.

If it does work on the smartphone, it might be that the controller is defective.

Should the headset also not work on the phone itself, it might be that a lead in the headset cable is broken and you have a loose contact.

Depending on your seating position (as I have experienced it myself), the headset jack is pressing against your lower body when you are holding the controller comfortably. With the cable coming out "straight" from the plug, the cable gets bent a lot, and
susceptible for broken leads.

After I got a Plantronics RIG 400HX with a 90° angled plug, I had no issues with broken leads and missing Microphones.
