Why cant my XBOX party hear me on PC unless Gamebar is open? my default devices settings...

Hi. My name is Brilliant, an independent advisor. I am happy to assist you today.

Here are a few troubleshooting tips that you can try to resolve your query:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of Windows and that all Windows updates are complete.

2. Check your Game Bar settings. Go to Gaming > Game bar, then turn on Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar.

3. Make sure you’ve updated your graphics drivers.

4. Try choosing a different display option for your game, such as borderless windows.

I hope this helps.

use gamebar for party chat instead then you can pop into gamebar setting and set the default mic and output in there better.

Ok thats what I thought but I dont realy understand the decision.

First of all: Wich App should I use now? The Xbox App or the Gamebar? There are two Apps installed on Windows that have the xbox Party Feature and both of them are lacking in different Features. In the beginning I used the Xbox App, but than oneday all Party
and Game Invitations only appeared for the Xbox Game Bar even when it was disabld in Windows-Settings. That made me switch to the Gamebar. In the Gamebar i was missing Features like seeing who is in a friends party and they adde back a private Voice chat like
on Xbox 360 wich made zero sense. on the Xbox App on the other hand I cant see my friends beeing in a party in the friendlist anymore, also it has no voice overlay and as I mentioned before I get all the Invites for the Game bar even if disabled.

Edit: Also I wanted to mention its still possible to start partys with the xbox app on PC, Smartphone and tablet so why removing the feature for PC players from the Gamebar?

Currently having the same issue after going through hours of trying to figure out how to open the NAT type on both PC and xbox, it finally lets me fully connect to the party but will not let me hear anything and my friends cannot hear me. my mic shows
that is working, I have tried both xbox (beta) app, console companion app and game bar. my mic says it is talking, all input and output device setting are correct. Im at a loss

Why cant i talk on my xbox in a party. I can hear other people talking but they cant hear me. Ive tried different controllers and headphones so it is not my controller. Ive also looked through my settings and its not on mute or anything . Any help
?
