Windows 10: Why does my mic sound horrible on Xbox Game Bar for Windows?

Hello,I've been experiencing technical difficulties with the Xbox Game Bar. I've noticed that the Mic quality is dreadful on Game Bar when I am talking to fellow people in a party, as in Discord, I do not have this problem. I know it's not my Mic, and it's just Game Bar. Is there any way to fix this? It makes the mic staticity and cuts out half of my words. Thank you for any responses regarding this matter.

Xbox Game Bar Capture Doesn't Record Mic Audio

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while recording microphone audio using game bar while playing games.



I would suggest you to try troubleshooting Game Bar and see if that helps. Refer the article

In addition, you can also check if the Microphone for game bar is enabled under privacy settings.

1. Go to Settings (press Windows +
   I key together) > Privacy.
   
2. On the left hand pane scroll down and look for
   Microphone.
   
3. Toggle Allow apps to access Microphone
   to ON.
   
4. Under Choose which Microsoft Store app can access your Microphone toggle Xbox game bar to
   ON.
   
5. Restart the game bar.

Xbox game bar mic issue

Hello, the issue I’m dealing with here is that Xbox game bar lowers my mic quality whenever I join a party with my friends. They say that it sounds like I’m either speaking under water or like a robot. The mic or wires are not the issue here, as I have no problem joining and speaking in discord calls on the same pc with the same setup. I have already tried resetting and repairing my game bar, and I am out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated.
