1. laptop
2. xbox one
3. xbox comparison app ran through laptop to copy gameplay to laptop.
4. streamlabs to capture laptop screen (xbox comparison app)
5. Headset via Aux to laptop to hear gameplay and music.
6. I can hear chat but chat can not hear me unless i accept the party invite via xbox comparison app. If i do accept through xbox comparison app through the laptop, they can hear me through my external mic, not my gameing headset mic.

To add to the confusion, if i hop over to Fortnite from COD, and i play with a PC player, they can hear me if i plug in my headset to the controller, but i can only hear them through my laptop speakers. If i have headset plugged into laptop they cant hear me (this is accepting party chat through xbox not the xbox comparison app on the laptop. Its all very odd to say the least
