win10 xbox app joining party instantly mutes ALL other pc audio but party chat

I had to update the sony headset firmware, seems to be working fine now, thanks!

yes, all are updated. It seems to happen when using bluetooth headset (Sony WH-CH700N). If I use my turtlebeach xbox headset with the xbox windows usb adapter, it works as should.

If you've already done the above procedures, you could mention what procedures you've tried on your PC.

the double audio im hearing is coming from the companion app on my pc that im using to stream from my xbox. its not from streamlabs. im getting the audio from my xbox and my pc via the companion app. but im using the companion app to use party chat to
talk. so i cannot mute it because it then mutes the party chat audio and im not able to hear my party.

When you stream through Xbox there is a setting in the twitch app to include party chat. But the party members have to allow their audio to be used. If you have “Party Chat” muted on the broadcast screen (it's in between “Microphone” and “Game”), or won't have the option to include audio.
