Xbox Party's on PC

That generic support doesn't really apply here. The problem is with a PC microphone, not an Xbox One microphone. The Xbox App on PC detects the mic and it works if I start a party via the app, but it doesn't work in any capacity on the Xbox One for parties
or game chat.

Hi DazzAI. This sure sounds a strange issue you've encountered. Now, to help you I'd like to understand better what issues you're dealing with in order.

Do you mean you had previous problems before with no voice coming out from either side of your mics? then are saying now the problem has escalated into (what seems) a more troubling suit where your party connections between your friend or friends doesn't establish
connection/therefore is saying It's still connecting, and can't get through?

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today Divided

Buddy may I know if your friend tried using a different headset to see how it goes?
By the way, is this happening only with this specific friend?

Could you ask them to try power cycling their console?

1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.
2. Unplug the console's power cable from the console and from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes.
Important: Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes. This step resets the power supply.
3. Plug the console power cable back in.
4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

After that, try to remove and re-add your profile on the console.

In case you need it, here's how to remove and re-add:

Also disconnect your router from power for about 3 minutes. Then connect it again an when everything is working, try again

I'll be waiting for your answers and feedback, greetings from another Microsoft user
