  1. Game bar/Console Companion Issues


    I have 2 issues, I am going to split this question in half to address each one separately and then go through what I have done to try to fix:


    1. Both the gamebar and console companion will sporatically at least once per day get stuck connecting to a party and will not allow me to join or start a party.


    Here's what I have done to try to fix the issue:

    -repair, and terminate xbox apps both in app settings and in task manager If I reset game bar it acts as if I no longer have game bar and I have to restart my PC and reinstall.

    -open ports for xbox in my router settings and make sure that teredo is all set it is even tried the fix button on the xbox networking screen. NAT is OPEN.

    -Ensured that firewall settings are not blocking the game bar or xbox.


    2. My microphone plugged into a usb 3.0 interface shows up as an input when the party works but does not produce any sound other inputs work headset for example. I am using a universal audio apollo duo USB and it works for discord and other applications.


    Here's what I have done to try to fix this issue:

    -check mic privacy settings and ensure that the app is allowed to use the mic

    -check the sample rate changed 10 times to everything I could think of

    -I have voicemod which allows me to modify my voice, and use line voicemod as an input. If I have my headset microphone to voicemod to game bar it works, but if I have the audio interface to voicemod to game bar it doesnt.

    -Tried uninstalling all drivers and reinstalling for the audio interface.

    -Change USB port that the interface is in all usb 3.0s

    -toggle exclusive mode on and off in the advance settings in sound control panel

    -Make it the system default input.



    I am sure that both lists of steps I have taken are longer, but I have tried so many things it's hard to remember. I just want to be able to play with my xbox friends and be able to talk to them. I also am trying to do this while I am streaming, so especially for the connection issues, restarting is not always a realistic step I can take.


    If you guys help me here, I can't tell you how grateful I will be. I have been banging my head against a wall a total of about 20 hours just trying to get this working.


    Please help!!!

    :)

    XBOX COnsole Companion doesn't work- use Xbox Console Companion - Beta

    FYI

    Windows store sells and trades via XBOX Live Ultimate for PC, games and though I have found this question. "Xbox for PC game doesn't start"; I haven't found any answers. The problem is with Xbox console companion which has become updated in new form XBOX
    Console Companion-Beta.

    I usually have given up when there is no starting a game and after resetting or reinstalling game fails, and I would have missed this for I seldom install beta software, but I wanted to play this game. The game did not sign in properly using the Xbox Companion,
    which is necessary to run the game.

    Simply sign-in to games using Xbox Console Companion-Beta.

    Xbox Console Companion app link shows in Desktop

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    It could be due to Display drivers, I suggest you to try updating the Display drivers and check if the problem persists. Please follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + X, and select
      Device Manager.
    2. Expand Display adapters.
    3. Right click on the display driver and select
      Update Drivers.

    4. Restart the computer if prompted.


    Article for reference: Update drivers in Windows 10.



    Alternatively, you can also try resetting the Xbox Console Companion application and check if that removes the link. Please refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the section
    Repair apps and programs from the article
    Repair or remove programs in Windows 10
    .



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



    Regards,

    Xbox Console Companion

    Whenever I try to install the Xbox Console Companion app I keep getting an error saying that it can't be installed. I've tried everything it's just the app it self won't install. My internet is fine
    but, the installer just keeps saying "Couldn't install. We'll try again shortly" and the download bar is making progress but it just stops when it's about to just finish. How do I fix this? I've checked everywhere but I've found no solution on the internet.
