Audio on both Headset and TV Speakers

When you plug a headset into the controller, it doesn't automatically mute the TV speakers. Both audio sources (headset, TV speakers) continue to play. You may have had the TV muted or HDMI/Optical audio disabled while you were using the headset and troubleshooting
your audio.

Here are some relevant support articles you can read:

• Troubleshoot sound on your Xbox One console
• Choosing speaker audio settings on Xbox One
• Choosing headset audio settings for Xbox One

Hi,

As some of the Ambassadors have mentioned already, the Xbox does not cut audio to the TV when a headset is connected to the controller. To stop audio from your tv simply mute the tv or go into your tv's settings (if its a smart tv) and change the audio out
from TV to Headphones. That way you won't be disturbing anyone with the sound coming out of your TV if you forget to mute it. Hope this suggestion helps

Happy Gaming!

MUTE at the TV at it's ready

Hello Viking!

I can tell you from personal experience using everything from the xbox issued headsets to my current Astro's, the tv will never mute when you plug in your headphones to the controller.

Here is guide for headphone setup:

Notes

• You might also have game audio coming from your TV. If you don’t want to hear the TV, simply turn down the volume on your TV. (When you plug a headset into the adapter on your controller, sound from the TV is not automatically muted or adjusted.)
• When you plug a compatible headset into your Xbox One Wireless controller, chat audio through Kinect is automatically muted.

I also hear audio through my TV

The Stereo Headset Adapter doesn’t know if you’re using your headset just for chat or for all audio, so TV audio is not automatically muted when you’re using the adapter. You must manually adjust your
TV audio volume.

Hope this helps!

Xbox controllers are made poorly
