Astro a40 with m80 doesn't work on elite controller

Lupeharpoono · Nov 11, 2016

have just purchased an Astro a40 headset with m80 mixamp, the mic wasn't working at all. After researching and trying everything, I discovered that it would work in my original controller but not in my new genuine Microsoft elite controller. I talked with
Astro support and they believe I'd could be a software or hardware issue with my elite controller. Do you have any ideas on what we could do about his? Having spent $400 on a headset and. Nearly $200 on the controller, it would be a shame if they could not
work together

:)

Hi

If you have not done so already please try to carry out a controller firmware update using the guide below if. If this does not fix your issue please unlpug an re plug the headset into it a few time just in case a small amount of dust may be affecting the
connection between the two items.

If this does not work can you please try an alternate headset to see if you get the same issue occur.

I have an Astro A40 and Mix Amp M80 and it works great, I can't say I have had any issues with it.

There is an 'adapter' like device which plugs into the Xbox One controller via USB connection, but that is included. (or at least with the one I got).

Just be sure to do your research before purchasing a headset to make sure that will work in the way that you want it too.

I will be happy to answer any questions you have about the Astro A40 and Mix Amp M80, should you want to know more.

I was told from Astro that the M80 was 7.1 and it was up to Xbox to enable the controller. I was waiting on the grey and red a40 before I pick them up cus the blue is really not for me.

I had an older pair of Astro A40s that I used on the 360. Boy do they last. I did get a new pair of Astros for Christmas though. The ones with the M80 mixamp and I love it.
