Xbox Game Bar will not record internal audio and mic simultaneously when using the 30...

When using the 30 second capture feature with capture audio recording set to All (game, enabled mic, apps, system), it does not record microphone audio.

Note Game Bar's three options for recording audio during captures:

Game: (focused application + enabled mic)

All: (focused application, enabled mic, apps, system)

None: (no audio is recorded)

The problem discussed occurs specifically with the 30 second game capture feature, while audio recording is set to ALL audio.

Problem does not occur when audio recording is set to Game (game + enabled mic), but reappears when switched back to record ALL audio.

Yes, my audio settings are all working. Game Bar shows my mic is working fine in the audio widget.

When using the record feature with audio set to ALL (game, enabled mic, apps, system), the recording starts with the mic MUTED, and must be manually unmuted to record mic audio.

When using the record feature with audio set to GAME (game + enabled mic), the recording starts with the mic UNMUTED.

The two tested scenarios described above may provide insight into a software bug that is preventing mic recording on the 30 second capture feature.

Simply, the mic should not be internally muted in the game bar app when audio recording is set to ALL, unless the user has chosen to mute the mic.
