Xbox Game Bar Capture- External Mic Not Recognized

I suggest uninstalling the app completely! Everytime that it tried to give me a hard time I do this and it works wonders! Here are the steps!

Hey! Thanks for the tip and when I looked and did the steps I found that it was already enabled. I then tested it again and got the same results. I'm not sure why this is happening as I even used the mic on playback while recording on the Xbox game bar, and through the playback, I heard the higher quality of the mic. But then, I checked the file and it was still significantly less quality.

Hello Michelle Ravenwood,

Thank you for sharing your concern here in Xbox Community Forum and we hope that all is well.

Based on the description, you are trying recording using the game bar with your discord voice. Let us see how we can help.

Windows Xbox Game Bar can capture recording your screen, any sound output and your mic. You can turn the mic off if you do not want to record what your mic picks up. This is how the Xbox Game Bar capturing works. You can also capture recording on the other app by changing the audio to record capturing setting. To check follow the steps below:

• Open Xbox Game Bar or Windows key + G
  
• go to Settings (gear icon)
  
• select capturing and under Audio to Record, tick All.
  

We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



Sincerely,

Sadly I don't think there is anything you can do if the Xbox app doesn't recognize these captures.

The external captures allows you to store them and share them online anywhere, but it doesn't seem possible to share over Xbox Live.
