  1. Adjust volume steps on Microsoft Xbox wireless headset?


    The new wireless headset from Microsoft is great. The only problem is the lack of volume steps. It feels like it increments/decrements the volume level +3/-3 every time you raise/lower the volume.

    When slowly turning the volume dial, it feels like there's 2 volume steps missing between each actual change of the volume level.

    So finding an in-between volume level isn't possible, which makes it hard to get a level that's not too loud or too quiet, depending on the situation.

    Is it possible to adjust the steps? If not, where would the best place be to suggest this feature addition?

    Thank you.

    Xbox One stereo headset for 360 console?

    Xbox One wireless stereo headset? I wouldn't know about it being "wireless", but are you actually talking about the
    wired stereo headset that Microsoft sells for Xbox One? If so, the stereo headset does have a 3.5mm connector at the end. The
    Xbox 360 has a 2.5mm port for headset. It can technically connect to the Xbox 360 controller with a 3.5mm(female)-to-2.5mm(male) adapter.

    I think that the Xbox One stereo headset relies on the included adapter module for physical control of the volume and mute, and since that adapter can't be used on the Xbox 360 controller, volume adjustment will require you to go to the Xbox 360 Guide menu
    and adjust the volume somewhere in the settings/options.

    Please also note that while game sounds can be heard by connecting a headset/headphones to an Xbox One controller, the Xbox 360 does not have that functionality built in to the controller. Any audio headset plugged into the controller would be used for voice chat
    only.

    Microsoft Wired Headset Not Working

    Sorry to hear about that, have ago a this:

    To connect a wired headset

    Turn down the headset volume by rotating the volume control all the way to the left.

    Insert the headset plug into the expansion port on your game controller.

    Put on your headset and adjust the microphone.

    To adjust the volume: Rotate the volume-control knob.

    To mute: Switch the microphone button on the headset cable.

    Game audio through headset without adapter

    When headphones are plugged into the controller, there should be an option to adjust the "headset volume" (which is the game volume through your headphones).

    When headphones are plugged into the controller...

    • Double-tap the Xbox Guide button.
    • Go down to the "Settings" icon (picture of a cogwheel).
    • You should see a bunch of volume slider settings underneath the "All Settings" option.
      • Headset mic (on/off switch)
      • Headset Volume (slider)
      • Headset Chat Mixer (slider)
      • Mic Monitoring (slider)
    • Adjust "Headset Volume" to the desired volume level.
    If you don't see all those volume options, your Xbox might need a simple
    power cycle
    . Then you can try the steps above again.

    The game audio through the controller works just fine with my pair of Bose QuietComfort 25 (QC25) headphones.

    Hopefully this helps!
    I see the sliders but after i adjust them the settings dont save! How to i make the xbox save my adjusted volume settings?

    Sorry to hear it. I'd recommend checking the headset settings to make sure the sound settings are adjusted properly. If there is no option for balance/volume on the headset then use the console volume settings to adjust your settings.
