Xbox Gamebar picking up my sound in party chat but my friend still can't hear me?

The only way I can talk to my friends is when the party chat is pin. When the party chat is unpin I can hear my friend but they don't hear me. When I tried to allow xbox gamebar background permissions I don't have the option.

That's not really my issue. My friends can hear me while I have Game Bar up on screen. As soon as I exit and play my game, my friends can't hear me. I just figured out that if I pin the party chat widget on game bar so it stays there when I exit game bar, my friends will still be able to hear me. For now that's what I'll stick with, but I'd like to be able to remove the party chat widget from my screen.

Hey. So I'm currently on Windows 10 using the Xbox Companion App, and I'm trying to join my friend's party chat (who is on Xbox One). However, when I join the party (or they join my party), I can't hear them and they can't hear me. When I speak
into my microphone, I can see the party chat flare light up, so the Xbox app is picking up my mic (but I can't see their flare when they speak). I'm using a split 3.5mm jack with an Astro A10 headset. My mic works fine on Discord and other services, but for
some reason the Xbox Companion app isn't working. I've tried changing the audio settings both on the Xbox app and Windows to other devices, made sure my privacy settings allowed my mic to be used on the Xbox app, hard resetting the Xbox app, restarting my
PC, plugging my headset/mic out and back in, messed around with my mic settings on Windows and the Game Bar. For some reason, my microphone, specifically in an Xbox One party chat using the Xbox Companion app, doesn't seem to work. Both the Xbox app and Windows
is up to date. Like I said before, the party chat is picking up my mic evidenced by the flare when I speak, but my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them. I've looked up and tried almost every troubleshoot option online and nothing is working, and it's
driving me mad. It used to work on my old PC, and I just got a brand new PC yesterday as of posting this and now the problem occurs. Anyone else having this issue? Anybody know how to fix it? Please help!

Still no fix

I shouldn't have to have anything overlaying for the party chat to work. All the time up to now, I never had anything overlaying while I played, with no problems. But all of a sudden, if I don't have it overlaying, my friends can't hear me? I CAN STILL HEAR MY FRIENDS BUT THEY CANNOT HEAR ME.

It doesnt rlly help tho i was able to hear myself through putting the mic monitoring up which means my mic is picking up my sound however it doesnt change the fact that my sound wont register in party chat
