xbox game bar voice messages not working

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.

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!

have you tried connecting using console companion?

I tried all of them and it still did not fix the issue, I think it might just be a mixture of my internet provider and widows 11 being new and kind of trash

That's really strange, in this case I can advise you performing a custom installation for your system, you can install Windows 10 instead (or if you prefer 11 again)
