    Xbox Game Bar closing after certain mic is used


    I just got a program called VoiceMeter Banana, and ever since I started using it with xbox game bar, it crashes. It's only when I connect a Voicemeter Mic, not an Output. I've already reseted, and repaired xbox game bar yet nonetheless it still crashes when I join a party only when I join a party though.

    :)

    Hello Ray H,

    Go to Settings (press Windows +
    I key together) > Privacy.
    On the left hand pane scroll down and look for
    Microphone.
    Toggle Allow apps to access Microphone
    to ON.
    Under Choose which Microsoft Store app can access your Microphone toggle Xbox game bar to
    ON.
    Restart the game bar.

    Xbox Companion Streaming Microphone Not Working

    I'm pretty sure that the Xbox Console Companion app is now outdated. You should probably use the new Xbox app.

    Is your issue related to using your mic in the actual app or your mic using Game Bar?

    Game Bar party chat is much better than the app's built-in party chat and will most definitely pick up your mic.

    (You can activate Game Bar by pressing Win + G)

    You can also change your default mic in the Settings in the Sound tab.

    Mic does not work in party while using a controller on pc

    Thats what I'm doing.. the only thing I am doing different from playing keyboard/mouse is the controller itself. but when i plug it in every setting on the pc changes to controller mic. Even though the controller has no mic. So I go back through all the
    pc settings and xbox companion settings and change it back but the xbox game bar will not let me use the usb mic anymore. I have to unplug the controller and reset the pc to be able to use my mic again. when I start a party in the companion app it says my
    mic is working , but if i am in a party on that app for some reason I'm not in a party on the game bar... so if i start a party on the game bar the mic still doesn't work..

    Xbox Game Bar Looking for Group doesn't show the game I want to play

    But I wasn’t using the companion app. I was using the game bar. Why are there only certain games on the game bar looking for group section?

    Xbox Game bar using mic for recordings

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    When you start recording a clip, you have the option to disable the microphone next to the stop recording button. By doing this, the clip will not record anything your microphone has picked up.
