After this most recent update, my friends are telling me my voice sounds distorted, wavy, and robotic-like. Every other software sounds normal such as Discord, and even Windows Voice Recorder. You need to update this ASAP or let us roll back to a previous version. PLS MICROSOFT! Is there anyone here that can help me fix the audio on Xbox Game Bar?

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.
Hope you're doing great today despite this DURPBULLET
May I know if you tried to "Format" for your Microphone in the sound settings for your input device?
Go to your Settings > Bluetooth & devices
Select Devices > Scroll down to Related settings and select Sound
Select your audio input device under Input.
In the next menu, you should see Format under Input settings. Select an audio format that's no higher than 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)
Try joining a party in the Game Bar or the Xbox app to verify whether or not the changes solved the issue. If that doesn't work, try adjusting the audio format repeating the steps above to verify if any other format works.
If that doesn't work double check and do the next:
Open Xbox Game Bar > Go to Audio widget > Select the Voice
Change Windows default input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
Change Default communications input and output to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
Scroll down to More Settings > Xbox Party Chat
Change Audio output and input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
Verify that push to talk is not enabled
Finally open the Xbox app
Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the page
Select Settings > Audio
Set your default Input device and output device to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
Verify that push to talk is not enabled again
Please also double check if you have audio enhancements enabled, if yes disable it.
You can follow this quick tutorial:

I don’t think they have a fix for this nor do they want to admit they messed up with said update. I’ve tried for a straight month to fix the same issue I’m having and I’ve done every damn thing they will recommend you until I was blue in the face. Until then I’ve discontinued my game pass until someone informs me that they have fixed it. Not throwing more money at a company that f***s up instead of fixes up
