Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you need help with your audio problem.

If I may ask, is this for your Xbox console?

You mean to say that the console is detecting there is a headset being used when the controller is connected wired? Thanks!

Hi yes that is correct. This is for a Xbox one x console.

Thanks for that information. Do you have another controller that you can try? Just to check if this is a controller issue or not.

Thank you for verifying! Have you tried changing your default microphone in both the Xbox app and the Xbox Game Bar?
