Windows 10: Game bar recording is only picking up game audio, not my microphone or any audio from other...

None of my recordings in recent time have picked up my microphone blue yeti, if that matters or any audio from any other applications that are open on my desktop such as friends voices in discord. The application I record doesn't seem to matter.

Game Bar randomly stops recording my microphone

Hi LuizScruz,

Thanks for your reply.

As I already mentioned in point 3 I checked the privacy settings of the microphone settings in windows. This can't be the issue anyway because Game Bar does pick up my microphone sometimes, as I mentioned in my original message.

I checked, my windows 10 is up to date. I will add this to the list in my original message.

My Microsoft Store apps are up to date too. I will add this to the list in my original message.

Also the suggestion to press Windows + i and check Games to enable the microphone by default is not relevant, since I mentioned in my message that the microphone is already enabled and does work sometimes. If I didn't have these settings enabled it wouldn't record at all.

So in summary, my system is up to date, and the other suggestions are not relevant because Game Bar is able to pick up my voice (but only when I switch it off and on again in the Game Bar menu, which is the issue).

Any other suggestions?

 

Game bar capture doesn't record audio anymore

What do you need me to tell you? I have told as much as I know about the issue, and I am trying to cooperate with you but the fixes that you are giving me are not specific to the issue, which I am going to restate:

Xbox Game Bar does not record system audio, only video, and this is probably due to the use of the Razer sound card which I am using with my headphones. I am wondering if there is a fix for this issue or whether I will just have to work around it.

These are things that I have already done from your previous responses:

• Enabled 'All' audio to record
  
• Turned on 'Record audio when I record a game'
  

I have also attempted to:

• Reset all Xbox apps
  
• Re-register the Xbox Game Bar
  
• Uninstall and reinstall the Xbox Game Bar
  

These were all unsuccessful.

Any other link (Game Bar not recording at all, Game Bar not capturing microphone audio, Game Bar not working completely) was unrelated.

 

Choppy audio in videos recorded through Game bar

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that the game audio is choppy in the recording. This generally happens when the recording is not ended correctly. We can try restarting the service for Game bar and see if that helps in resolving the issue. Please follow the steps mentioned
below:

1. Close the game and Game bar.
   
2. Press and hold Ctrl + Shift + Esc
   keys together to open Task Manager.
   
3. Click on More details.
   
4. Look for BcastDVRUserService, and click on
   End Task.
   
5. Restart the game and try recording again.
   

You can change the settings how the audio is recorded and see if that helps in resolving the Audio issue. Please navigate to
Settings (Windows key + I) >> Gaming >> Captures >> Recorded audio. You can change the Audio quality, and change the Microphone and System volume.


Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
