    Xbox WIndows app not detecting my audio input


    Hi, so recently I downloaded the Xbox app for windows, and it appears that I am not able to speak at all in party chat, but I am able to hear friends speak. I am using a USB headset with a built in mic. The Corsair VOID pro. I re-installed my audio drivers,
    checked permissions on the app, but none of that worked. I am seriously confused on why this issue is occuring.

    :)

    Xbox Party via Xbox Game Bar on PC, party voice chat mic detection issue

    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

    No Audio

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

    Xbox Game Chat isn't working

    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

    Voice quality becomes undiscernible during party chat on XBox companion app on Windows 11

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this ScottTarone

    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.

    You can follow this quick tutorial:
