Xbox Game Bar NOT Recording Audio Output AND Mic Input

Hi there, make sure you are using a headset that is compatible with the console (check manufacturer specs). Other than that go to your audio settings and make sure your input and output is in the desired settings. so if you are using a headset with a mic
- mic input should be headset and if you want game and chat audio to be in the headset as well - select this as well.

Good luck

Did you try muting the headset mic and making sure the external mic is unmuted?

If it still doesn't work, left click the volume button on the bottom left of your screen, near the time and date. Now click sound settings. Try changing the input and output there.

Currently having the same issue after going through hours of trying to figure out how to open the NAT type on both PC and xbox, it finally lets me fully connect to the party but will not let me hear anything and my friends cannot hear me. my mic shows
that is working, I have tried both xbox (beta) app, console companion app and game bar. my mic says it is talking, all input and output device setting are correct. Im at a loss

The mic/line in on your PC may be one of several things:

A mono mic socket: This is too sensitive for the line outputs of the XBbox

A stereo mic socket: same as above

A combined line/mic socket. If it is, and you'll have to check the spec of your PC, there will be a software switch to fiddle with so that the card doesn't use the Mic (high sensitivity) setting for the socket. Look in the taskbar for a speaker icon and
start there.

The output from the Xbox audio is a high-level signal which will distort when plugged into low-level mic sockets. Not all PC's have stereo line inputs, but many have mic only inputs.

A final option if you have an Optical input on your PC is to use the optical out from the back of the Xbox.

Would they work in my setup? Sound output through TV, mic input through xbox?

In the Astro 50 what is transporting the mic input, is it the usb?
