    Xbox Game Bar mic DOESN'T WORK in Party Chat


    This seems like a new bug in Windows 11. When I look at Xbox Game Bar audio settings, the correct input is selected. When I test the mic, the audio settings displays feedback that it's picking up on audio. So I know that Windows is giving privacy permission to the Xbox Game Bar app.

    However when I join a party, the mic is default muted and if I unmute it does not work. Then if I go into party audio settings, tried changing input audio devices around, toggling push to talk, toggling noise suppression, etc - nothing fixes the problem. I can hear the party but it never picks up on my mic, even though the audio settings can detect voice.

    Fix your s*** Microsoft. Xbox Game Bar version: 5.823.1271.0

    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..

    The Division no Mic in game play

    Hi @MarineA112!

    Is it just the Division that your mic doesn't work in? Does it work in other games or in Party chat?

    PC xbox app: game bar audio bug

    I have the same issue. The workaround I'm using is to "pin" the Party Chat Game Bar widget. This way, the party chat stays visible when the rest of the Game Bar overlay disappears, and it keeps your mic active.

    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    I'm pretty sure that the Xbox Console Companion app is now outdated.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.

    Windows 10 Xbox One Streaming microphone not detected?

    That generic support doesn't really apply here. The problem is with a PC microphone, not an Xbox One microphone. The Xbox App on PC detects the mic and it works if I start a party via the app, but it doesn't work in any capacity on the Xbox One for parties
    or game chat.
