Why does my xbox game bar mess with my audio volume?

if you want to remove the gamebar, then you have to follow the guide here as it is part of the OS, when you update the OS again it may re install it. some games that rely on invites may not work and gamebar dvr will be gone, basically everything xbox related will be gone apart from the xbox app. sometimes starting a game you will get a popup that no app is present and you can ignore that.

Hello Tomass Rubenis,

Were you able to perform Tezzarrific suggestion?

gamebar sometimes resets the volume you set when starting a game, drives me nuts that why i removed it. as you can manually set app volumes within gamebar.

Hello Tomass Rubenis,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Xbox Game Bar sound volume. This could be caused by a number of factors, such as your audio settings, your drivers, or your system updates. Here are some steps you can try to fix it:



- Check your audio settings in the Xbox Game Bar app. Make sure the volume slider is not set to auto-adjust or mute. You can also adjust the volume of individual apps and games using the audio mixer.

- Update your audio drivers and your Windows 10 system. Sometimes outdated or corrupted drivers can cause sound problems. You can use the Device Manager to check for updates or download them from your manufacturer's website.

- Restart your computer and the Xbox Game Bar app. This can help resolve any temporary glitches or conflicts that might be affecting the sound volume.
