How do I turn down mic monitoring on Xbox app?

Answered by Willian Lymon

To adjust the mic monitoring on the Xbox app, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Xbox app on your Windows 10 computer.
2. Click on the Settings icon, which looks like a gear, located in the bottom-left corner of the app window.
3. In the Settings menu, select the “Audio” tab.
4. Under the “Microphone” section, you will find the “Microphone monitoring” option. This feature allows you to hear your own voice through the headset while chatting. By default, it is set to a medium level.
5. To turn down the mic monitoring, simply drag the slider towards the left. As you move the slider left, the mic monitoring volume will decrease, and you will hear less of your own voice through the headset.
6. Conversely, if you want to increase the mic monitoring volume, drag the slider towards the right.

It’s worth noting that mic monitoring can be a helpful feature, especially when wearing closed-back headphones or if you prefer to hear your own voice during conversations. However, some people find it distracting or prefer to have it turned down or off. Adjusting the mic monitoring level allows you to customize the experience to your preference.

If you’re experiencing any issues with the mic monitoring or the audio settings in the Xbox app, make sure that your headset is properly connected and recognized by your computer. You can also check for any available updates for the Xbox app or your audio drivers.

Adjusting the mic monitoring on the Xbox app is a simple process that can be done within the app’s settings. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily turn down or adjust the mic monitoring volume to your liking.
