Windows 10: Xbox game bar issues with mic audio being too quiet.

Hi, I'm currently having issues with my Xbox game bar. My audio input volume appears to be at full volume, but when I go to talk, I'm very quiet or my voice won't even be picked up unless I put the mic really close to my mouth and be loud. I know it's not my headset as I used two different headsets on my pc and my Xbox console, and on the Xbox console they work perfectly fine. My one buddy seems to be having the same issues as well. We never had this issue until about a few months ago. Tried resetting the app, and turning off noise suppression, but that didn't work either. Is there a way to fi

Xbox Game Bar Capture Doesn't Record Mic Audio

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while recording microphone audio using game bar while playing games.



I would suggest you to try troubleshooting Game Bar and see if that helps. Refer the article

Troubleshoot Xbox Game Bar on Windows 10



In addition, you can also check if the Microphone for game bar is enabled under privacy settings.

1. Go to Settings (press Windows +
   I key together) > Privacy.
   
2. On the left hand pane scroll down and look for
   Microphone.
   
3. Toggle Allow apps to access Microphone
   to ON.
   
4. Under Choose which Microsoft Store app can access your Microphone toggle Xbox game bar to
   ON.
   
5. Restart the game bar.
   

If the issue persists, please get back to us with details of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.

xbox game bar audio issues

My problem is my xbox game bar isn't recording my microphone, I've tried unplugging my mic and plugging it back in but It wouldn't work, I've tried muting it in the game bar settings and unmuting it and it would work, but once I changed tabs it would stop recording my mic, I've tried changing my setting from all to Game only and my mic would record fine, but then I couldn't get the audio from discord or other sources other than the game I was focused on. I'm here asking if anyone has found a solution to this problem

 

Xbox game bar mic issue

Hello, the issue I’m dealing with here is that Xbox game bar lowers my mic quality whenever I join a party with my friends. They say that it sounds like I’m either speaking under water or like a robot. The mic or wires are not the issue here, as I have no problem joining and speaking in discord calls on the same pc with the same setup. I have already tried resetting and repairing my game bar, and I am out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated.
