Wow, after weeks of trying to find a fix, uninstalling and reinstalling Xbox applications for PC. re-examining a very old and outdated article finally allowed me to resolve my issue. Getting to the troubleshooters is a very painful process now. On a positive note the Windows 10 troubleshooter seems to be way better than all past Windows troubleshooters. getting to the actual troubleshooters on Windows 10 is a very non intuitive process currently.

steps to fix this issue

go to your Windows 10 settings, there are numerous ways to get there

On the settings page, there is a search bar at the top, type in Troubleshoot. it might be, troubleshoot settings, instead.

Unfortunately most everything is going to be nonsensical unless you're a system administrator. there is one small clickable section at the bottom called, Additional troubleshooters, click on that.

There you will find your actual list of the Windows 10 troubleshooters. these are extremely automated, straightforward, user-friendly, and very effective.

Scroll down until you find the Recording Audio troubleshooter. Click on it, then click on the run the troubleshooter. It will take a bit of time and it's not going to tell you much of anything. but it will say it found a problem or something to that effect. it will then ask if you want to fix the problem. in all likelihood it will say you need to reboot your computer for the fix to take effect. if it does this reboot your computer immediately, do not do anything else except reboot your computer.

once rebooted xbox party will now find your microphone

Good post, sooner or later someone will need this. Good looking out for your fellow gamer. After looking at the title you may want to change it to reflect the mic issue maybe?Cheers and happy gaming.
