Xbox WIndows app not detecting my audio input

Hi Christopher,

Unfortunately the PC is detecting the mic and the input it is just the 'xbox game bar' app that is not detecting the microphone rather than the PC, as other apps and windows itself that is recieving the microphone input. Sadly none of the guidance here or elsewhere on the web has helped yet and I'm still stuck for a solution,

Best regards,

Ben

Thanks for the reply. I went to Settings >TV & One Guide>Devices>Audio Receiver Model ( input Denon AVR3808CI). Still no audio detected. Thoughts?

Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We recommend trying the steps located on
troubleshoot Xbox companion app.

My game chat audio isn't working

Make sure your audio device for both input (microphone) and output (speakers) is set correctly on your PC. Under
Control Panel, select Sound. You’ll find these settings on both the
Playback and Recording tabs.

If you have trouble hearing audio or seeing video, see
Troubleshoot game audio or video issues on Windows 10.

Thanks,

Brad

Have you tried to "Format" your Microphone in the sound settings for your input device?

Go to Windows Settings > Bluetooth & devices

Select Devices > Scroll down to Related settings and select Sound > Select your audio input device under Input.



In the next menu, you should see Format under Input settings. Select an audio format that's no higher than 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)

Try joining a party in the Game Bar or the Xbox app and check if the issue persists. If that doesn't work, try adjusting the audio format by repeating the steps above to verify if any other format works.

If the issue persists try this:

Open Xbox Game Bar > Go to Audio widget > Select the Voice

Change Windows default input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Change Default communications input and output to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Scroll down to More Settings > Xbox Party Chat

Change Audio output and input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Verify that push to talk is not enabled

Finally open the Xbox app

Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the page

Select Settings > Audio

Set your default Input device and output device to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

Verify that push to talk is not enabled again

Please also double check if you have audio enhancements enabled, if yes disable it.
