Windows 10: How to reduce the audio captured by the microsoft game bar?

Hey guys , I have been recently using the game bar to record my gaming video's and I have been facing a problem lately, that i cant fix.

The in-game audio captured is being way louder than my mic's volume...now I don't want to reduce the in-game sounds because that would just ruin the environment. I went to the gamebar settings but i found no option to lower the volume of the desktop audio.

SO is there actually a way to decrease the volume or should i try some other to suppress it?

Edit: Would lowering the system volume do the trick?
