  1. Xbox Game Bar PC voice chat problems


    I don't understand why no one is talking about it. There are problems with Xbox chat on both Game Bar and console. Constant disconnection problems from everyone when in a party. People appear on the home screen during the party or are disconnected while participating in voice chat. On PC, if you go to Windows events and search for the Game Bar issue, a red dot will appear indicating a voice chat issue. So, I'd like to know if you're having the same problem these days or months because it's not possible that every time an update comes out, they haven't fixed this issue. Oh, and I'm also talking about the reduction when it's activated; the microphone quality is reduced for some unknown reason. I'd also like to add that the Game Bar quality should improve. Especially regarding the microphone output audio. Let me know if you're having the same problems.

    No Game Audio through Headset/Earphones After Controller Update

    Try opening your Xbox menu by pressing the home button on your controller, then clicking "audio". There should be a volume bar for game vs voice chat below the regular audio bar. Moving this bar to the right makes the game louder and voice chat quieter,
    moving it to the left makes voice chat louder and the game quieter. Hope this helps!

    I was banned from voice chat?

    This is not about the forums. It's the voice chat. When I tried to join voice chat in Game Bar, it closes. When I tried to join voice chat from my Xbox App mobile, it reveals an error.

    Microphone problems with gears 5 on PC

    I am playing gears 5 on the PC. I can't seem to get my microphone to work in game. It's the same mic I use when I play other PC games such as League of Legends or Dota So I know it works.

    An error message came up when I joined a party that said my network settings were blocking voice chat. I did a connectivity check using the xbox game bar and everything came up as good, with an open NAT setting.

    I have voice activation turned on, and push to talk turned off in the settings.

    I can't figure out what the issue is, any ideas?
    I had this issue and found that disabling the Xbox game bar fixed and now I am able to use voice chat on Gears 5.

    Issue with game invites on PC

    Hi,

    So you can start a Voice Chat with another player, and then add other people to that voice chat (or they can join in). Starting a Voice Chat with someone on Windows 10 via the Game Bar is a One-to-one to start, and you can't just start
    an "empty" party as you can on Console unless you use the Console Companion app.

    This page has a few
    more details on the Game Bar, but additionally I believe you can still use the Xbox Console Companion App to start a party as well in the more traditional manner.
