audio icon popup when headset are connected

Hey Kirnerz,

Sounds like you have your party overlay toggled on. You can remove it by swiping over to your party tab >Start a party > If you look at the options below, you will see a toggle for the party overlay > Simply
toggle it off.

Best,

Are you familiar with how to change the audio output device in Windows? I think this might be something that could be switched when both are connected and perhaps the controller is taking over audio output function. To switch, click your speaker icon (volume icon) near the clock and then at the top of that popup, click the current audio device and see if it lets you switch back to the typical one.

Hi, try a different hdmi cable, see if that helps. As for the audio section you are talking about, the audio icon only shows if you have a headset connected to the controller.

thanks for the advice, and the audio icon is never there, regardless of headset or not.

Hi there,

What is the specific headset you are plugging into the adapter?

Headset's, headphones, or earbuds with stereo sound will have the ability to have game audio along with chat volume that is adjusted with the adapter or in the "Audio" settings that will only appear when plugging into the 3.5mm port which you have confirmed
was the issue with the original controller.

There are some headsets however that do not have stereo sound and are strictly only meant to chat with others, and are usually referred to as chat headsets. These tend to only have one earpiece whereas stereo headsets will have two.

If you have a stereo headset/headphones plugged into the adapter, then the chat mixer slider that is usually found in the "Audio" settings will be controlled on the adapter with the game controller icon button indicating the game audio volume and the button
with the icon of a person indicates the chat audio volume.
