Hello Wolfslair321,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you're experiencing issues with your Blue Yeti microphone in Xbox app parties. Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try:



1. Make sure that your Blue Yeti microphone is set as the default recording device in Windows. You can do this by right-clicking on the speaker icon in the taskbar, selecting "Sounds", and then going to the "Recording" tab. You may also reset your microphone sound format to default.



2. Check if your microphone is muted in the Xbox app. You can do this by clicking on the microphone icon in the party chat window.



3. Try resetting the Xbox app/Xbox game bar. You can do this by going to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Apps & features", look for both app, and then clicking on "Advanced options". From there, click on "Reset".



4. If none of the above steps work, let us isolate the issue, whether it is related to the microphone compatibility or the app issue. Please let us the details below:

• If you were to connect a different mic or headset with mic will Xbox Game bar detects and enable mic?
  

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Honestly the Blue Yeti mics are phenomenal!

I'll second that, love Blue Yeti mics.

Hello Horito,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. So let me see if I understand this correctly. You would like to use your Blue Yeti Mic (USB im assuming) in conjunction with a separate headset (No mic, used for only audio) in party chat on the Xbox app on
pc? I myself have never tried this out, but my guess would be that both those devices at the same time are not compatible for use in party chat. Does it work perfectly with another headset, like earbuds that have a mic or another gaming headset?

Let me know if i'm missing something here regarding your set up.
