Right?! I woke up and couldn't believe my eyes! Let's go!

See I'm starting to wonder the same thing. Why it hasn't moved in the 24 days when all that you need to do to check if it's not working is reproduce the simple steps I have above?

I really like this game the visual bugs though with rendering and the Auto-HDR not working, lately, it really takes the immersiveness away from the game that I truly love. Which unfortunately are affecting all Xbox players at the moment.

Hoping we get some movement on this and it doesn't end up in Limbo like the one you submitted. Fingers crossed!

Have you checked in Windows Audio Settings Control Panel if the Mic is listed as the default under recording? I had to do this the other day to get my wife's mic to work in the game it was using the default headset mic before.

To get there hit the Windows Key + R and run mmsys.cpl to get to the control panel. There should be a tab labeled recording and then you can set your mic as the default there.
