Xbox mobile app on Android issue with audio and mic quality suddenly going bad when joining...

-audio drivers are updated

- input and output are correct on both xbox app and computer settings

- microphone audio works fine when playing the same game through a different launcher or platform

- all other apps using my mic are disabled

- headset (astro a10s) are a plug in and have worked fine for months.

issue only happens when I go into an online game

example: I'm in a Valhiem online server with no one in it and my mic audio will be perfect. Then someone joins the game and it instantly distorts it.

Ok, perhaps I didn't explain clearly. The game audio from my game, which sounds fine before I join chat, is rerouted somehow when I party up, and the quality of the game audio drops to sound *as bad as* someone else's TV coming through their mic into the chat - but it's still the audio from my game.

When I use my Xbox headset through the Xbox wireless adapter dongle everything is fine.

So the buds, which are essentially the same as my Xbox headset - some speakers and a mic - are unable to treat the game audio and the chat audio as separate and play them simultaneously without weirdly mashing them together into a horrible mess. There shouldn't be any "interference" in the game audio at all, the buds have to do is play it straight form the source, and they do - until I join a party. The game audio returns to normal if I leave the party. This would suggest that I don't have the Xbox chat app, bluetooth settings, mic settings, playback settings or all of them incorrectly configured, which is what I was initially hoping for some pointers on.

I'm having the issue of my headset having audio come through it just fine. The mic does not work in the xbox app. The mic itself works perfectly because I used it in steam and chatted with him. But when streaming and either joining a party or creating one
I can hear my friends talk but they can't hear me. It's an issue with the app and it needs to be updated.

do you have your mic / headset connected wired or wirelessy?

I ask this due to depending of your phone hardware performance or quality may vary:

"Bluetooth headsets connected to your Android device are supported for game audio and Xbox party chat. In some cases, you may notice a lag or delay in the audio. This can be caused by the device operating system, device hardware, or the Bluetooth headset. To eliminate the delay, we recommend using a wired headset that plugs directly into your device."

I think that Mobile integration will be pushed harder in the near future. With Microsoft releasing a good number of high quality Android apps, I think that they have a large user base ripe to add to Xbox LIve services.
