All Third Party Headset Echo/Poor Sound Quality Issues With Headset Adapter

Hey everyone! If your looking at this, your probably in the same boat as I am..... frustrated that my headset sounds like an alarm clock radio speaker and everything echos. We had high hopes of everything sounding superb once we bought the headset adapter,
updated our controllers, fired up the system, and only to be let down when it sounded like we were playing in a coffee can. Well sit tight and read on, hopefully this will lead you to gaming bliss once again!

I have a set of Turtle Beach X41's. And, without any connection (chat cable) or trying to communicate in party/game chat, they sound amazing. Just like they do on my 360. But, when I plug into the adapter and the controller with the chat cable, and raise
the volume on the adapter to hear in game voice, the sound degrades exponentially with every button push. >.<

Well I did some digging and found a possible solution. The video makes sense, although it's not the best quality, but heck.... who cares as long as it works. I'm gonna try this later when I get home, and I will get back to you as to the results.

Hope this helps, and if your having the same problem, maybe post to this thread as to what kind of headset you have and what the results are?

Be well and see you on the Battlefield!



Here's another that explains the same thing.... just differently. LOL

Enabling sound from a connected monitor with a headset

Hello, you would need to purchase a stereo headset designed designed for the Xbox One in order to get your game sound through your headset. Microsoft has their own variant

www.xbox.com/.../stereo-headset but there are third party companies which sell certified for Xbox One (Just make sure it says it's available for use with Xbox One).

Third party XBox One headsets
www.xbox.com/.../third-party

If you buy a third party headset you may also need to purchase the Xbox One chat adapter so you can connect your headset to your controller

www.xbox.com/xbox-one/accessories/headsets/stereo-headset-adapter

Some companies include them in the box, some don't.

Either way if it comes in the box or not you need to wire your controller up to your Xbox One in order to download the firmware for the chat adapter to it

Turtle Beach X41 - ECHO Problem

I have the Turtle Beach X41 and got the Xbox One Headset Adapter. I am able to hear the game sound normal through headset (although not sure if it's in surround sound yet) however when i'm party chat, whenever people talk they hear an echo of their voice.

Now on the Xbox 360 all i had to do was change party chat to play through speakers instead of headset to eliminate the echo. Now, i'm unable to determine how to fix this issue on the Xbox One.

Please help.
