    Windows 10 streaming cuts controller mic audio


    So this is not a "I need help issue" this is a "please fix this issue".. It's easily to duplicate, all you need to do is start streaming on Windows 10 via the Xbox App, start a party chat works fine... Until... You press backspace or esc on the keyboard..
    This will automatically end the stream, which also ends your party chat or rather it causes your mic to stop and all sound from everyone else in the party starts coming out the PC speakers. There is no way to get the mic to start working again unless you turn
    on your TV, yes you heard that right, for some magical reason if you turn on your TV that's attached to your XB1, the sound returns to the mic and you can once again speak/hear your friends through it. All attempts to use Windows 10 streaming after pressing
    escape or backspace or even holding down the Xbox button and select turn off streaming will not allow you to use the headset through a controller. Keep in mind my Xbox is the one hosting the party chat, I am not using Windows 10 beta party chat with people
    on XB1, because I'm not playing Windows 10 games, I'm playing XB1 games through streaming.

    Now if somebody could explain to me why turning on the TV makes it work again, but starting a stream cuts it off and makes it go through the speakers, I'm all ears. In reality though this shouldn't be happening and needs to be fixed, it's quite annoying accidentally
    hitting backspace while typing on Xbox message or in a game say like Neverwinter and cutting off the stream only to at that point lose all audio to your headset and can't get it back unless you turn on your TV.........................

    PC Headset with streaming?

    I bought a Logitech g930 headset the other day and was hoping I could use it with my game streaming instead of the Xbox One headset. Is it possible? I am streaming my Xbox One to my Windows 10 PC. The audio works fine but the mic does not.

    Thanks!

    Xbox not recognizing my mic when streaming after update.

    I am having the same exact problem. I've tried streaming with an external USB soundcard for playback and recording (mic), and I've also tried to do this with a headset plugged into an Xbox One controller that is wired into the PC. In both cases, like the
    OP, I can hear the Xbox audio while streaming, but the Xbox does not recognize that I have a mic connected. I've also tried the standard and beta Xbox apps on Windows 10 with the same result. Would really like to know the fix for this.

    Xbox Capture

    As others have stated, there is no way to record your audio while using the 'record from now' function.

    I stream to mixer and that captures my mics audio, and it's really easy to do too.

    The only other alternatives to a capture card is to stream directly from your console to Mixer or Twitch, or use the Xbox App on Windows 10 to stream your console's audio and video to the windows 10 device, then you can use some other software to record,
    or stream. ( I hope that made sense).

    Twitch stream headset mic crackling

    I changed the format to Windows Sonic and it didn't seem to solve the live stream audio mic issue.

    Which additional options are there to solve?

    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.

    Audio headphones/Turtle beach streaming mic

    Hi there,

    When the audio headphones are plugged into the AV receiver, there is game sound, but I cant hear anyone in my party chat. I only see their gamertag show up in the chat overlay. They hear me thru the stream mic just fine. In Halo 5, setting audio to Speaker,
    or to Headphones doesnt change anything.

    If I plug the headphones into the Turtle Beach stream mic, its onboard amplifier does a decent job driving the audio headphones, since the stream mic is powered via USB, but the amplifier is low quality by comparison to my AV receiver. I only got the stream
    mic so I could use my AV receiver to listen to my audio headphones in online gaming. I never expected or planned on using it to power the headphones.

    Can I even can plug the Sennheiser game headphones into the AV receiver and the Mic into the controller now? If this stream mic is already connected to the XBOX via USB, and chat is only available when the headphones are connected into the stream mic and
    both run to the XBOX wired via USB, is it correct to assume that PC gaming headphones with a built in mic also cannot be split (the mic connected to the controller and chat sound coming through the AV receiver)? Im starting to think both the headphones and
    the mic must be connected to the controller together, communicating to the XBOX wirelessly, or ill just get game sound through the headphones and no chat like I am niw with this set up?
