Xbox controller headset suddenly not working

I been using the official controller and connected headset for a long time now and suddenly its not working. I used it 99% on gamebar but now no programs can hear from it including the OS tester even though its connected and shows up. There were no updates or changes nothing. Here is a list of everything I've done.

-reset controller

-update controller

-uninstall and reinstall drivers

-uninstall and reinstall gamebar

-checked app permissions

-tested mic on another computer, it works just fine

-tried some apple ear pods, the computer can hear those

-tried the headset and controller on xbox, still works

-checked for updates

-updated absolutely everything hardware and software

-reimaged entire computer

-upgraded from windows 10 to 11

-set it as default device

-controller itself works fine and audio can be played from the headset speaker

-controller is connected via USB cable

-tried another USB cable

-tied another USB port on the rear IO

-got a whole new motherboard and cpu (unrelated to issue but happened during troubleshooting)

-UNBOXED A BRAND NEW HEADSET that i happened to have as a backup

Nothing has worked and im really annoyed, Microsoft can even maintain support for their own products. I need something i can do, a registry edit, third part software, anything to make this work.

***moved from Windows/Windows 11/Devices and drivers***
