    Game Bar game capture mic sounds really bad quality.


    I don't have the best mic in the world its like a £60 Fifine USB mic but it sounds very nice and crisp over discord and on stream but in xbox companion party chat and the game bar captures it sounds like a really really bad £2 mic from Wish. How can I get my mic sounding as good as it does over discord and on stream?

    :)

    Game Bar Not Capturing Mic

    Hello! I am an Independent Advisor, I would love to help you out!

    Go to settings > gaming > capture

    Make sure that "turn mic on by default when I record" is enabled.

    Then under audio quality make sure that "microphone" volume is set to around the same level as system volume.

    And that "record game audio-only" is NOT checked.

    Is it possible to use a bluetooth headset mic while having High quality sound

    I have a Plantronics BackBeat Sense SE bluetooth headset. When Connecting it to Windows 10, it installs two profiles in Playback devices list:

    1. PLT_BBTSENSE Hands-Free.
    2. PLT_BBTSENSE Stereo.

    The Second one (Stereo) is set to be the "Default Device" and the "Default Communication Device" on the system.

    At this point the sound works great and normally. The problem happens when I want to use the mic. When I start any program that uses the mic (recorder, chat, VoIP Calls, gaming, etc.) The sound suddenly stops working And I can only use the mic until I stop the recorder or the call.

    The thing that kind of fixes the problem is setting the (Hands-Free) as the default device. I can hear the sound when I do that and it works with the mic but it becomes Very bad quality.

    What I became to understand is that bluetooth had different profiles for sound and mic: A2DP and HSP. The first handle the voice(High Quality) but the latter handles the mic and reduces the sound quality.

    Is this really the case? Is there anyway to make them work simultaneously? Is there any solution to this problem at all?

    Xbox Game Bar Voice Sounds Bad

    When I record a clip, my friend sounds really bad when talking through discord. I know its not his mic, and I can only hear it like that when its recorded through game bar. Is there any way to fix this? Also, I cant hear myself when I record a clip, and
    ive looked into the settings and have no clue why it doesnt pick up my voice.
