  1. Windows 10 Game Streaming Microphone Not Working!


    So recently when Game Streaming through the Xbox App on Windows 10 I used to be able to talk to people with my microphone while game streaming in game chat and party chat, but after some updates, it no longer works and says no microphone detected! I've followed
    EVERY step in setting the microphone as a default playback/recording device and no success. I can use the party chat feature in the Xbox App but I can't use my mic while streaming which is frustrating!

    :)

    Bug: Microphone doesn't work after disconnecting Windows 10 streaming

    Thank you Bestlano!

    Another issue I'm running into with the headset adapter + windows 10 streaming:

    I docked my surface pro 2 into the docking station, which has a wired PC microphone plugged in. When I start playing (Rainbow Six Siege), the game audio is coming through my headset adapter (via the Xbos Stereo Headset), but the Windows 10 Xbox app is utilizing
    my wired PC microphone instead of the Stereo Headset/Headset Adapter. I can't figure out a way to force the streaming app to use the microphone plugged into my controller...

    (not sure if I should document this issue in another thread)

    It seems there may be some minor issues between the Windows 10 Xbox streaming application when used with the Xbox Headset Adapter.

  5. I've been running into this for sometime as well. The work around I have, but it's not great, is to join a party from the Xbox app on Windows, then start the stream backup. Voice chat seems fine from there, you just can't seem to get the mic to stream
    to the xbox anymore.

    USB Microphone Compatibility

    As there is a standard for webcams introduced in Windows 10, most "off the shelf" cameras that are certified for Windows 10 will work with Xbox One as a replacement for the camera part of Kinect for streaming.

    However, for USB microphones, there is no such standard yet, and therefore, Microsoft can't add multiple different drivers for USB microphones, as it makes no sense to add a driver for multiple types of Microphones.

    So either get a microphone that has a 3.5mm jack and put that into the controller (with an adapter to convert the Microphone jack to a CTIA compliant jack if necessary), or set up your stream to go through your PC and use the Microphone on your PC to add
    your voice to the stream.

    Microphone Not Working When Streaming

    Hi Benneh360,

    To use a headset while streaming. Plug your USB headset (or microphone) into your Windows 10 PC or your chat headset into your controller before beginning Game Streaming. Your headset must be selected as the default playback and recording device on
    your PC. To access this setting, open Control Panel, select Hardware and Sound, and then select Manage Audio Devices.
