Xbox Game Bar on Windows 11 pretends to be muted, despite not being muted.

Hi Angel M0nster!

Have you tried to also Mute the person you have blocked? Although you have blocked them, muting them via the message window might be the best option so that you are not notified of the message. Knowing that this does not solve the issue of the person still
being able to still contact despite you blocking them, this issue will hopefully be fixed soon.

That means your headset is muted. Try un-muting by pressing the home button on your Xbox controller, and selecting it in the hot bar that comes up on the left hand side.

I'm all about using mute. The second someone starts annoying me, their voice is never heard again. I'm here to play a game, not pretend it's recess in grade school.

I can assure you people don't think modding is cool, and videos/websites dedicated to it are as old as the internet. As for the chat issues, these are still human beings will not restrict their language based off of others despite it being inappropriate.
There is a mute function for that reason, although in a rated M game, there will still be that language in single player. If you believe your child is mature enough to play games like this, mute-able language and crudely depicted breasts won't negatively affect
them.

Also, as for this tip:

"Other players cannot hear you

Make sure that the volume level is set correctly and that the volume is not muted in the Personal Settings area. To do this, follow these steps:

Press the Xbox Guide button on the Xbox 360 controller.

Scroll right to Settings.

Select Preferences.

Select Voice.

Make sure that the Mute option is not selected. To turn off the Mute option, select Mute, and then press the A button.

Increase the volume. To do this, select the volume bar, and then press the D-pad or the left stick."

I don't have this option "Mute" under the Voice menu...
