Re: Why is Battlefield using my microphone?

@Dresta: Thanks for the reply!

It wasn't an EA issue after all. By default, Xbox Game Bar (Win+G) was set to record game+microphone sounds while playing any game. Just today, I also noticed this playing Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam.

I only have a screenshot of the fix in german, sorry for that. Previously I had the first option (marked in red) checked, so it would allow the Xbox App to 1.) record in the background in general. And 2.) was set to "record game and activate microphone sound". Changing this according to the screenshot solved the issue for me.
