Then please restart your PC and try it again. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that the Xbox Console Companion app is now outdated. You should probably use the new Xbox app.

Is your issue related to using your mic in the actual app or your mic using Game Bar?

Game Bar party chat is much better than the app's built-in party chat and will most definitely pick up your mic.

(You can activate Game Bar by pressing Win + G)

You can also change your default mic in the Settings in the Sound tab.

Hi!

I suggest you to check your Microsoft Account privacy settings. In details:

Login to https://account.xbox.com/settings and be sure the following settings under the tab Privacy are on Allow or Everyone/Friends:

• You can communicate outside of Xbox Live with voice & text
  
• Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites
  

I hope it helps

Regards

Thats what I'm doing.. the only thing I am doing different from playing keyboard/mouse is the controller itself. but when i plug it in every setting on the pc changes to controller mic. Even though the controller has no mic. So I go back through all the
pc settings and xbox companion settings and change it back but the xbox game bar will not let me use the usb mic anymore. I have to unplug the controller and reset the pc to be able to use my mic again. when I start a party in the companion app it says my
mic is working , but if i am in a party on that app for some reason I'm not in a party on the game bar... so if i start a party on the game bar the mic still doesn't work..

Are other players not able to hear you or can you not hear other players?
