Windows 10: Xbox wireless headset game/voice mixer isn’t working

Citizen Cook · Aug 24, 2022

I recently bought the Xbox wireless gaming headset for my PC. I’m using Windows 10 and Discord chat client. For some reason when I’m in game I can’t adjust the voice/game mix and when I engage chat while watching a YouTube video for example the volume on the video cuts out while the Discord chat is active.

New Xbox Wireless Gaming Headsets Arrive This Fall

At Xbox, we’re committed to providing new ways for gamers to play the games they want, on the devices they want, with the people they want. Last year, we announced an expansion of the Xbox Wireless ecosystem to include Windows 10 gaming PCs with integrated Xbox Wireless, and promised to deliver a range of truly wireless accessories. Today, we’re excited to share the line-up of Xbox Wireless gaming headsets that will be launching this Fall from our partners at LucidSound, Turtle Beach, and Razer. With the launch of these new products, Xbox has the largest variety of truly wireless headsets available for console gamers – no dongle required. Additionally, we’ve partnered with ASUS Republic of Gaming to deliver the ASUS G703 V1 – an all-new gaming notebook with integrated Xbox Wireless.

Xbox Wireless provides you with a best-in-class wireless gaming experience across Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs. Designed specifically for gaming, Xbox Wireless is the best way to hear every detail and communicate online without the mess of cables or the need for a dongle or base station. Each Xbox Wireless gaming headset supports the same great wireless reliability and range as our Xbox Wireless Controllers, and high-fidelity Windows Sonic audio that enables 7.1 virtual surround sound. Just like an Xbox Wireless Controller, gamers will be able to easily pair Xbox Wireless headsets with any Xbox One console — including Xbox One X, any Windows 10 PC that natively supports Xbox Wireless, or alternatively, any Windows 10 PC using the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10.
Read below for more details on the exciting new products and features:

Xbox Game Bar doesn't show the volume mixer

EDIT:

Edit 1: still no actual answer for a way to fix this. But I just factory reset my PC, the volume mixer works perfectly now. I know this is not the answer you wanted, but it's all we have

Before I go into details do not suggest:

Fixing my audio driver by updating/removing it

Resetting the Xbox Game Bar app

Doing the 'sfc /scannow 'command

Telling me to use the volume mixer built into windows

Referring me to the Xbox Game Bar app troubleshooting page

OK, now that we go that out of the way. I have had this problem for about 3 weeks. The issue is that the Xbox Game Bar doesn't display the volume mixer correctly, it only shows the main audio driver's volume mixer and nothing else (no app volume mixer like:
CS:GO, Microsoft Edge Beta, Spotify etc.).

Photo for reference:

For the Microsoft employees reading this, this is a persistent issue in Windows. I will list other posts on this forum with the same issue to show the scale of the issue. All of these posts have not been solved so far:

Plug in and Game on with the New Xbox Stereo Headset

I think we can all agree audio is fundamental to our gaming experiences. Personally, I cannot get my game on without my favorite gaming headset! At Xbox, we have made some big strides over the last year to offer you some of the best gaming headsets out there. From our Xbox Wireless Headset to our partnership with the legendary audio makers at Bang & Olufsen and the many other headsets we offer through our Designed for Xbox program, we are confident you’ll find the headset to meet your gaming needs.

Today, you can add one more option to the list. We are pleased to announce our Xbox Stereo Headset, available for pre-order today. With the new Xbox Stereo Headset, we are bringing everything you expect from Xbox products like performance, stand-out features, quality, and accessibility to deliver immersive experiences across console, PC, and mobile devices. We also wanted to bring you more value to the entry-level headset category, including clear microphone performance, high-quality ear cushions, and a volume control dial on the right earcup.

The Xbox Stereo Headset features many of the design elements found the Xbox Wireless Headset. The flexible, lightweight design with an adjustable headband utilizes plush cushioning to spread pressure more evenly around the top of the head. Ultra-soft large earcups will keep you comfy during those “extended” play sessions, and easily accessible on-ear controls for volume and mute will make this a staple in your gaming arsenal. Connect directly to the Xbox Wireless Controller or other devices through the 3.5mm audio jack, no batteries required.

To generate the best possible experience across gaming, team chat, music, and movies, the team tuned the headset to replicate the intended audio recording source that the creators wanted you to experience. The result of this is hearing the audio as close as possible to how it was recorded, by ensuring clean mid & high frequency performance with strong bass. And to take your audio one step further, the Xbox Stereo Headset supports high-fidelity spatial sound technologies including Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone: X (may require additional purchases or app downloads).

As someone who owns and uses three different headsets for gaming, let me share how this became one of my daily drivers and why you’ll love it too:

If you’re new to gaming and looking for a comfortable design, this is a great entry-level headset that includes many of the features found in our Xbox Wireless Headset.

If you already own a wireless headset, this is the perfect addition to your setup for those times you forget to charge it or replace the batteries.

I also prefer using a wired headset when I play on my PC. This quickly became my favorite headset for PC gaming because it offers the best sound quality while eliminating any latency issues.

The Xbox Stereo Headset is available for pre-order today from Microsoft Store and other select retailers for $59.99 USD worldwide.
