Windows Game Bar detects when I'm speaking on my microphone, but doesn't transmit my voice.

If I go in the Xbox game bar the microphone settings detect my mic and the bar goes up but when I'm in a game or party nobody can hear me

no, i don't use the party chat, i'm in the game that has voice chat, but the microphone isn't bein picked up, so i can hear my crewmates, but they can't hear me and when i go to the xbox app>settings> audio, there is a gray bar right under where it says Voice volume and under that gray bar, you can set the volume, that gray bar looks like it should light up or show you if your microphone is being picked up but it always stays gray. When i go to the xbox game bar and launch a party, it looks like it picks it up there fine, but in the settings of the xbox app it does nothing, same for the game(sea of thieves) whenever i try to speak in the game nothing comes out on my side and the green message icon that shows if your voice is getting picked up doesn't appear at all meaning it's not picking up the microphone for some weird reason.

He is using Razer Wolverine Tournament Edition and has them connected to his controller. In party chat it does detect a microphone but doesn't transmit his voice. I don't think he has tried pressing left 2 times, will get him to try this. Thank you
for your help.

Hi Christopher,

Unfortunately the PC is detecting the mic and the input it is just the 'xbox game bar' app that is not detecting the microphone rather than the PC, as other apps and windows itself that is recieving the microphone input. Sadly none of the guidance here or elsewhere on the web has helped yet and I'm still stuck for a solution,

Best regards,

Ben

Hi there lolzcam welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. It seems some fellow gamers have found a solution! Give it a try!

"We could test if with the volume, it can capture a little less the air that records when speaking and that does not allow you to hear your voice cleanly.

To install a new microphone, follow these steps:

Make sure the microphone is connected to the equipment.

Select Start> Settings> System> Sound.

In sound settings, go to Input> Choose input device, then select the microphone or recording device you want to use.

To test a microphone that has already been installed:

Make sure the microphone is connected to the equipment.

Select Start> Settings> System> Sound.

In sound settings, go to Input> Test Microphone and look for the blue bar that rises and falls as you speak into the microphone. If the bar moves, the microphone is working properly.

If the bar isn't moving, select Troubleshoot to correct the microphone problems."
