windows game bar audio issue(pc)

I've had issues with this in the past too, but its sporadic. Generally I've found in my cases, my CPU was hitting it's full 100% load and then audio would glitch out in recording but not in the game. If you're able, look at minimizing the background apps
and resources and freeing up some memory as well. The less taxing on the CPU, the less chance of audio becoming garbled.

same issue here. so frustrating! help please!

Been having the same problem for just as long. This is definitely some kind of Windows 11 and Xbox game bar issue. Audio is perfect in every other app but the game bar.

Hello there!

Regarding the issue you have with audio and video quality of your Xbox Game Bar, I will need you to follow the troubleshooting steps provided on this link Troubleshoot Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10 | Xbox Support, in order to resolve the issue.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with gamebar.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please check audio recording settings by pressing Windows + G to open the Xbox Game Bar. Click on the Settings (gear icon) and go to Capturing.

Under Audio to record, select All to ensure game audio is included.

And then verify Windows sound settings. To do this, go to Settings > System > Sound. Ensure your default playback device is correctly set like speakers or headset. Check that Windows audio enhancements are disabled.

Next is to enable audio capture in Windows Settings. Open Windows Settings and go to Gaming > Captures. Make sure Record audio when I record a game is turned ON.

Then update audio drivers. Do this by opening Device Manager and go to Sound, video, and game controllers. Right-click your audio device and select Update driver.

After that is to clear Xbox Game Bar cache and then restart. Hold the power button for 10 seconds, unplug your PC for a few minutes, then restart.

Thank you for your cooperation.
