Xbox Game Bar Clip Audio Distorted & Choppy On Windows 11

DoomedBonsai329 · Dec 29, 2023

My clip's video and audio of others in discord + ingame are fine. My microphone for some reason is the only one distorted in the clip. It is not distorted on discord or in the game and my friends can understand me clearly. It is only distorted once I use "record the last amount of seconds/minutes" feature. I've tried everything i've found and nothing is working. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, it just depends really.

(Below is a vid attached to give an example)

Been having the same problem for just as long. This is definitely some kind of Windows 11 and Xbox game bar issue. Audio is perfect in every other app but the game bar.

Im on Windows 11 and this "4. Toggle off the switch for "Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar."" is not in my settings.

Hi there Mat,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an inquiry on the Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10. The game bar will only capture game clips and screenshots. For more information on the Xbox Game Bar, I recommend to check out the following

Use Xbox Game Bar to capture game clips and screenshots on Windows 10.

Hope this helps.

Same issue here. I've scoured Reddit and other forums and haven't seen a fix yet. The headset works fine on Bluetooth and when connected via USB-C, but while using the official Xbox Wireless Adapter (the slim one), I get garbled and choppy audio in both games and general Windows audio such as Zoom meetings.

I'm using the headset on Windows 10 with headset firmware v.0.0.9.24 as of 11/15/2021.
