    Audio is not working and audio area is grayed out.


    When I press the xbox button and go to the little Audio & Music section at the bottom right, I cannot manage my sound. Every option (Headset volume, Headset chat mixer, and mic monitoring) Is grayed out and is all the way down. I can hear my sound when
    it comes from my speaker, but not from any headset. It is not a controller or headset problem.

    :)

    Audio Issues After Reverting Controller Update

    Alright. As I've already stated, a new headset doesn't change anything. The audio settings are completely grayed out as if I didn't have a headset plugged in. I managed to revert the firmware of my controller through my Surface laptop, but still no audio. Thanks for trying to help!

    How to fix greyed out headset chat mixer

    Some options appear grayed out if you are using an accessory that takes advantage of the audio mixer functionality or if you are using hardware where audio adjustments are made on the hardware itself (for example, a Chatpad or some third-party headsets).

    Check if there is no accessory that is using the audio mixer function and that is why they appear grayed out.

    Tell me from which device are you using the headphones? Depending on that, we can guide you through some possible solutions.
