I am experiencing the same issue as well after the update. I am using the official Xbox controller with the official xbox stereo headset/mic attached to the controller. I have no problems using the mic/headset on my xbox or even on the PC itself when testing
it. When using the xbox app on my Win 10 desktop and connecting to my xbox for streaming it doesn't seem to recognize the mic. I can hear others but they can't hear me due to the mic not being detected. I have gone through all the normal troubleshooting and
then some extra as I work with computers/servers for a living (headset is set as default device, re-installed app, re-installed drivers, tested on another PC, etc). Something is wonky with Xbox app since the update. Pretty annoying. I wanted to connect to
the xbox last night from my office while the wife had some of her friends over in the living room where the xbox is located and instead of doing so just wasted a couple hours of troubleshooting an issue that I can't fix. I am sure all of us would appreciate
an update sooner than later to remedy this issue.

This is an issue with the Xbox update. One of the two Xbox's that I have updated and the other that didn't update still work even with the Xbox App at the latest version. Once this unit updated I lost my PC mic when streaming. I even updated Windows 10 to
the Creators Update in hopes that this fixed the issue since this added the same features as the Xbox update did. No dice on this and I even used the Xbox Beta App and still no go. My second Xbox is just far enough away that I can't use the controller linked
to it so multiplayer games are so much harder now when you can't communicate with anyone. So flipping frustrating and it makes me wish I could roll back the update on my second Xbox until they get their stuff together and get this fixed.

I am having the same exact issue. I can hear in game chat, but no one can hear me. MS, please prioritize this for fix! It had worked previously, but it has not worked worked now for a long time. As a workaround, I hear that you can install the xbox beta
app alongside the regular xbox app and use the in app party chat with one app and stream with the other, but this will only work with party chat, not in game....

It'd be nice if Xbox would reply to this topic and mark it as like seen and being worked on or something... Seriously we can't game chat through streaming anymore and party chat through streaming.. ****

I am having the same exact problem. I've tried streaming with an external USB soundcard for playback and recording (mic), and I've also tried to do this with a headset plugged into an Xbox One controller that is wired into the PC. In both cases, like the
OP, I can hear the Xbox audio while streaming, but the Xbox does not recognize that I have a mic connected. I've also tried the standard and beta Xbox apps on Windows 10 with the same result. Would really like to know the fix for this.

Can a moderator please reply and tell us some updated info on this issue?

A patch was released for the xbox app, and that has fixed this issue for me. Used my PC mic while streaming earlier today without issue, so this seems to have been fixed, finally.

Same. Not sure if it matters but I'm using the Xbox beta app, mic worked with headset plugged into the controller while streaming.

Same issue, wasted a couple of hours of my life trying to figure it out before getting here. My guess is when they implemented Beam they were screwing around with the streaming. There should be a "Known Issues" section in the minimal patch notes they provide.
Not really good enough in my opinion.

Been having this same problem as well since just a day or two ago.

As soon as the update went through, I couldn't use my mic. I've used different mics, different controllers, and different USB cords and nothing works. The mic works no matter what when I'm not in the Xbox App, but as soon as I start streaming a game, the
Xbox won't recognize the headset. If I plug the controller directly into the Xbox using the side USB port or connect the controller wirelessly, the mic responds.

This is a major issue that needs to be fixed and I'm glad that others have the same issues, so maybe enough visibility will get Microsoft/Xbox on this case to fix whatever it is that they've broken this time.

Damn, I'm surprised that more people hav'nt been complaining -_-

I just hope that we don't have to wait weeks for a patch / fix.

Yeah its likely going to be awhile and it sucks. It'll most likely be fixed Sunday night, knowing my luck :/. Hopefully its not, I'll come back here and write a thank you post if it's fixed before Friday.

Same issue here, I updated and its complete **** since I'm on springbreak as a highschool student and I use gamestreaming specifically to speak with my xbox plugged into my monitor. Been googling forever and the only real suggestion I've seen is "LOL enable
yoour mic dooode", so I'm glad other people are experiencing this issue atleast and I'm not alone in being screwed like this....
