Windows 10: Xbox Game Bar on Windows 11 pretends to be muted, despite not being muted.

Hi everyone.Over the past month or so, I've been having a strange issue with the Game Bar on Windows 11. Every time I launch a game, it refuses to record my microphone unless I mute it in game bar, then unmute it. I have to do this every single time I launch a game or it will only pick up the rest of my PCs audio.The microphone setting in game bar is never actually muted and once I mute then unmute, it works fine, but if I forget to do that upon opening a game, I am essentially losing part of my audio every single time.I've re-installed the app, reset it, and even did a registry wipe of the ap

Xbox App Muted

Whenever I start my Xbox App on my Windows 10 PC, the app is muted and I have to go to "Windows, Sound Settings, App volume and preferences" to unmute it. Is there a way to make the app not muted by default?

 

Mute-Mute-Mute

Guess I am joining the party. Have tried everything. Its a one shot deal with the microphone. I can do one command to Cortana and I get muted. Skype, I last a few seconds. My two computers are the same, a new Lenovo laptop, and my Asus Kabby Lake gamer. No malware or viruses, drivers are all up to date. Tried every suggestion I have found across Internet. Nothing has worked for me. Microsoft, you folks need to fix this bug, I'd call you and leave a message but I keep getting muted.
