This is normal buddy, I mean. Game bar blocks audio for Edge.

Probably this is to avoid DRM or copyright (you know, recording videos or movies watched on the browser)

The short answer is, game bar is working as expected. It doesn't record audio from browser

Hope it helps, greetings!

Hello Demetrius Davis,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you are having trouble with the Xbox Game bar audio recording. There are a few possible reasons why this might happen, and some steps you can try to fix it.



First, make sure that your microphone and speakers are set as the default devices in Windows settings. To do this, go to Settings > System > Sound and select the devices you want to use under Input and Output. You can also test your microphone and speakers there to make sure they are working properly.



Second, check the Xbox Game bar settings and make sure that the audio recording is enabled and configured correctly. To do this, press Windows + G to open the Xbox Game bar, then click on the Settings icon on the top right corner. Under Capture, make sure that Record game audio is turned on, and adjust the audio quality and volume as needed. You can also choose whether to record your own voice or not.



Third, if the problem persists, you may need to update your audio drivers or reinstall the Xbox Game bar app. To update your audio drivers, go to Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers, right-click on your audio device and select Update driver. To reinstall the Xbox Game bar app, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features, find Xbox Game bar in the list and click on Uninstall. Then, go to Microsoft Store and search for Xbox Game bar and install it again.

I Think with the audio Controls In Xbox Game Bar Affect the Transmission and recording gameplayers, but no affect the game volume, for that you need change in game

Hello m-will3427,

Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

Have you tried adjusting your "Audio to record" settings in Xbox Game Bar?

Open Xbox Game Bar

Click the "Settings" icon (Gear icon)

On the left panel of the settings window, select "Capturing"

Under the "Audio to record" section, enable either the "Game" or the "All" settings.

In this case, using the "All" setting may be more beneficial to you as you're recording a presentation, not a game.
