Audio bug after trying to connect an incompatible headset.

Quote: While game audio will be available through the system's optical port, in order to support chat communications, headsets will be required to make use of the new connection type.

So to answer my own question...sound yes, chat no...but I guess you can just chat through kinect instead

Since you checked what is the headset audio option set to?

What headset do you have?

You have no sound at all on the headset or only the sounds of you moving thru the menu?

I have had instances (not recently) where I had to change my audio option after re-connecting my headset.

You may want to see what the audio is without the headset attached, then connect it and compare the settings do the change to pickup the headset connection.

Hello Mimi!

Below is a list of non-compatible headsets:

Non-compatible headsets

The following headsets are incompatible with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter:

• Mad Catz Tritton Warhead headset
• Mad Catz Tritton Primer headset (Mad Catz offers an adapter for the Primer headset to convert the 2.5-mm audio jack to a 3.5-mm audio jack. Contact Mad Catz for support.)
• The Xbox 360 Wireless Headset and Xbox 360 Wireless Bluetooth Headset
• Headsets with this 2.5-mm connector will not work because of the connector format. This connector includes a long, cylindrical pin in the middle of the connecting side that does not fit into the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.

Hi there,

There are a number of incompatible headsets for the Xbox One, depending on what you have, it most likely won't work. This page lists several of the incompatible ones on the bottom of the page:

Connecting Compatible Headsets

Just because the end connector looks the same, does not mean the headset will work.

The problem is you are using an incompatible mic.

Any product that works with the iPhone (mic) will not work with an xbox one.

So basically you will need to purchase a compatible mice.

See OMTP vs. CTIA -
support.xbox.com/.../connect-compatible-headset

Not all 3.5-mm audio jacks are made to the same standard. There are two audio jack standards:

Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA), and

Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP).

If you use an OMTP headset, you’ll probably experience audio or chat issues. However, if your headset or earbuds use the OMTP standard, you can purchase an adapter to convert the device to CTIA. These adapters are available at many electronic retail stores.
