xbox game bar doesn't record my microphone even though all microphone settings are enabled...

Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

Hey wuzzupo, how are you today? Hope you're well.

The issue can be resolved by making Microphone as the default device and updating the sound card drivers.

Let's ensure that the microphone that you are using is not disabled and is set as default in the computer. Follow these steps to check this:

a. Right click on the volume icon and select “Recording devices”.

b. Now, right click on an empty space and select, “Show disconnected devices” and “Show disabled devices”.

c. Select “Microphone” and click on “Properties” and make sure that the microphone is enabled.

d. You may also check if the microphone that you are using is set as default.

Hope this helps my friend.

There isn't a way to recover audio on an already recorded clip. But you can make sure the Microphone is enabled for your next recording.

- Go to Settings (press Windows + I key together) > Privacy.

- On the left hand pane scroll down and look for Microphone.

- Toggle Allow apps to access Microphone to ON.

- Under Choose which Microsoft Store app can access your Microphone toggle Xbox game bar to ON.

- Restart the game bar.

Hope this helps.

Hi Iman976,

Since this is happening with games bought and used from different platforms, there may be a PC setting that is causing this to happen. There's a possible setting where you have to turn on the microphone to record voice in your videos.

Go ahead and follow this guide to set up your headset microphone or any other microphone you use:

On the Game bar, go ahead and toggle the microphone mute button on and off when recording a video to test it out.

Let us know if that helps!

Ok, my friend. You can try this, please:

Go to Settings in the Xbox Game Bar, Capturing, then “Audio to Record”. By default it is set as Game. You can change it to All as that includes Game audio, your microphone, apps, etc. This maybe can help to not stop recording when you alt + tab.

If it doesn't help too, please let me know.

Can everyone try this:

Type "Microphone privacy settings" in the search bar at the bottom left of Windows. Scroll down and enable the microphone for Xbox app.

Come back here and let me know if this worked.
