    2 Controllers, 2 Headsets, One Console. Why does only 1 headset microphone work.


    2 Controllers, 2 Headsets, One Console. Why does only 1 headset microphone work?

    I would like to stream with my friend doing some multiplayer games on the same console but we can't both use our individual headsets to talk. Both mics work perfectly on their own on separate consoles. (Definitely not our headsets or controllers that are
    broken).

    But on the same console, whether one is signed in and the other a guest, or both signed in, only 1 microphone works. (Usually whoever plugs their microphone in last is the person whose microphone works. (Doesn't matter who player 1 is or anything.)

    For example, Player one will have a headset and it will work perfectly, player 2 plugs in his headset and that works perfectly but player 1 immediately loses speaking privileges.

    Yes we can use a kinect but I find it always cuts out at the beginning of what I'm saying and doesn't pick me up that well, generally I need to be shouting. So would prefer to not use this option.

    Are there any settings to allow all microphones to be used at the same time? I've looked but can't find any.

    Is this a problem with mixer or the xbox?

    :)

    Microsoft Xbox One Chat Headset Microphone Stops Working

    Hello,

    This summer we have had 3 Microsoft Xbox One chat headset microphones stop working and 1 Microsoft Xbox One Stereo headset microphone stop working.

    I have tried multiple Xbox One controllers and separate Xbox One console to verify the microphone no longer works.

    Is there some known issue of how these headsets need to be plugged in or unplugged from the controller that could be zapping the microphone? Do we have to have the controller turned on or off before inserting the plug into the controller?

    This just seems ridiculous that we keep loosing the microphone capability of these headsets.

    You're both signed into the same console? Have you tried inviting the other player into a party?

    Muted headset symbol on xbox One S

    Sir Lancealot 83.

    The microphone is muted, not the headset.

    The headset and microphone works on another xbox and controller.

    I have tried it on 2 controllers on the bone that is muted.

    Bug: Microphone doesn't work after disconnecting Windows 10 streaming

    Update: Regarding issue #2 (Headaet adapter issues while connecting Xbox One controller to Windows 10 PC for streaming)

    I discovered that:

    1) The headset adapter is just treated like an additional headphone and microphone under the Windows audio settings.

    2) To select which microphone to use (e.g. PC mic or microphone attached to Headset Adapter), set the desired microphone as your default device by right clicking volume/speaker icon at the bottom right of the taskbar and click "Recording devices."

    3) Odd behavior or malfunctions (e.g. headet microphone not working when streaming to Wkndows 10) may occur when there are too many USB plugged into the computer, causing insufficient USB controller resources.

    When I plugged the Xbox One controller directly into my Surface Pro 2, the microphone automatically worked fine. When I docked my Surface Pro 2 into its docking station and plugged the Xbox One controller into the docking station's USB port, my headset adapter/Stereo
    Headset's microphone was recognized, but the decibel meter would not detect any sound when spoken into. Occasionally, I would receive a "insufficient USB controller resources" error. This could also be an issue related to connecting the Xbox One controller
    to a USB hub.

    Regarding issue #1 (headset adapter/stereo headset's microphone not working on Xbox One after disconnecting from streaming), I will see if I experience it again to isolate the issue.

    Bug: Microphone doesn't work after disconnecting Windows 10 streaming

    Okay, I just discovered an issue:

    The Xbox Stereo Headset's microphone does NOT work when connected via a USB hub, even if it's the only device attached to the USB hub. The microphone is detected, but it does not detect any sound in the volume meter.

    As soon as I plug my Xbox One controller directly into the Surface Pro 2, the microphone immediately detects sound.

    Xbox One S - Microphone Not Working

    Hi,

    If all 4 controllers not working with your headset on the console, i suggest you to try the headset with one controller on your computer.

    If the microphone still not working, you will be sure its the headset the issue, if the microphone works, meaning you probably put a wrong settings into the Xbox so i suggest you to double check all audio settings >
