Windows Xbox app, I sound like a robot underwater to my friends in party chat

My lord and savior. I'd been having this issue for months and basically stopped playing games with my friends because they kept saying it sounded like I was underwater. This immediately fixed the issue.

Hi Sketchyblue.

Thanks for your response. You mentioned that you use the Discord voice recorder in your original post. Is there any other 3rd party audio software that you have running while using Game Bar that maybe causing an issue for you?

Uhh yeah tried logging in and out and same issue on my audio interface. Works fine in every other app and game. Strictly an Xbox game bar issue. PLEASE SOMEONE RESOLVE

Thanks for the response, I have tried this and had no luck!

I just want to second this. Look at my previous findings. I too have two different audio interfaces that both make this underwater robot sound, and I can't change their input formats to anything other than "2 Channels, 24 Bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality)". All of my USB mics sound just find when using the XBox Game Bar party chat, and their Input Format is "1 Channels, 16 Bit, 4800Hz (DVD Quality)".

I'm starting to wonder if it's not so much the Hz rate but perhaps it has to do with the fact it's input is "2 Channel" vs. "1 Channel"? Who knows, all I know is that using the same device that sounds like **** on the Xbox Game Bar party chat, on something like Discord or even recording music with other various types of software in my PC, it sounds just fine. This is 100% something to do with the Xbox PC Software.
