XBOX Audio App

There are a few potential issues that could be causing your Xbox Game Bar and Xbox app on PC to not pick up your headset audio. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the problem:

1. Check your headset and audio settings: Make sure your headset is properly connected to your PC and that the audio settings in your PC are correctly configured. You can check and adjust your audio settings by going to the "Sound" settings in the Windows Control Panel.
   
2. Restart your PC: Sometimes simply restarting your PC can fix issues with audio not being picked up by certain applications.
   
3. Update your audio drivers: Outdated audio drivers can cause issues with audio not being picked up by certain applications. You can check for and install updates for your audio drivers by going to the manufacturer's website for your audio device and downloading the latest drivers.
   
4. Reset your Xbox app: If you're using the Xbox app to chat with friends, you can try resetting it to see if that fixes the problem. To reset the app, go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Apps & features" and then select the Xbox app. Click "Advanced options" and then select "Reset."
   
5. Repair the Xbox app: If resetting the app doesn't work, you can try repairing it. To repair the app, go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Apps & features" and then select the Xbox app. Click "Advanced options" and then select "Repair."
   

If none of these steps help, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance.

How are you?

Have you checked that your microphone audio is not muted in the Xbox app?

Open Xbox app>settings>audio and voice volume adjust the bar to the right.

You have to allow the xbox app to record audio

the double audio im hearing is coming from the companion app on my pc that im using to stream from my xbox. its not from streamlabs. im getting the audio from my xbox and my pc via the companion app. but im using the companion app to use party chat to
talk. so i cannot mute it because it then mutes the party chat audio and im not able to hear my party.

Hi crazyjbird44,

I believe this is due to how the Xbox app audio is designed in that I think it prioritizes audio from the party chat when it's open and not from your applications in the background because your party audio device (your wireless headset and mic) is connecting
to the app itself and not through a controller. I think that if the audio goes through a controller, that you'll be able to hear the party chat along with the game audio at the same time.

I couldn't find anything in the Xbox app settings to get what you want without needing a controller but I'm not sure if there is anything in your Windows audio settings that can solve this problem. You can always go in there and check if there are any relevant
settings.

I recommend getting a controller and a gaming headset designed for Xbox One that has a headset adapter for the best gaming experience using the Xbox app on Windows 10
