Just try disable your other devices and activate them again, there are lots of fixes at yt.

There is something in windows to enable app to use mic, you need to manually active it if you dont have it.

Like when i use voice meeter i will put output default into windows, after that you can go into gamebar and change your mic there its win + g.

There are some fixes.

The main issue people have is that MS games use an additional microphone selector option which is hidden in the Windows gamebar (Windows+G).

Make sure that your mic is also selected there.

I had to disconnect my controller (if you are using controller with microphone) to get it to work since game recognized controller mic as primary. Problem was also in Helldivers 2. After disconnecting controller it worked like a charm.

I was about to buy and download this beings it seems pretty fluid, healthy and on sale for $20. Then I came to the forums to do a once over. Nothing but bugs, toxic players and the new(er) DLC is Johnny Depps Illuminati-mason-zionist quest to Epstein island to locate the golden chest of child sex slaves.
SOOOO for me that's a pass. Clearly they had enough BIG CORPORATE BUCKS to fix the issues but didn't and wont because they are greed fueled unqualified corporate non-gamers in-charge of maintaining your game with their "ultra qualified" $15/hr import Punjabi coders. NEEEEEEEEEEEXT!
