I'm on windows 10 and I made an account for Sea of Thieves. When I tried to make an xbox party with the people in my crew it made a super loud, continuous buzzing noise in their headphones unless I mute myself. I've checked the ports and its happened on both of my headsets (forgot the name of one and astro a10s). I don't know what the problem is and I want to be able to use xbox party chat.

I found this when trying to figure out the issue myself. I see the suggestions provided were not overly helpful. It is an issue with your bit rate/bit depth not being compatible with the xbox party chat.
Right click sound icon on bottom right, select recording devices, highlight your mic device, select properties, advanced tab, change bit rate to DVD quality 2 channel 16 bit 48000 hz.
Now just make sure the xbox app is still set to the correct device and it should clear up the awful buzzing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH BROTHER
I found the sound button, but when I right click it, all the buttons are "Open Volume Mixer", "Open sound settings", "Spatial sound", "Sound", and "Troubleshoot sound problems". Help? I'm on Windows 10 64-bit, and I don't know what's wrong.
same here, i need help!

Darth you are an actual genius. You solved an issue that not even a Microsoft employee couldn't fix. Thank you!
so I found where I can change this but when I change it nothing happens and I go back tot he advanced settings and its still set as default as if it never changed when I set it to.
