  1. Audio problem using chat headset on Xbox one


    Have a problem in that can't hear using chat headset in gameplay. Any ideas?

    Have used 2 different consoles, same issue on both (one brand new so still with factory settings).

    Have used 2 different wireless controllers, same issue in both.

    Have used 2 different headsets, same issue in both.

    Have used 2 different hdmi cables.

    Have used every permutation of the above, and problem exists each time.

    If I use any combination using Skype on Xbox one then I can hear & speak fine. However in gameplay I can't hear anything. I've tested the mic and that seems to work - highlighting the ring around the gamertag when I speak. However I can't hear anything
    when playing games - the sound comes out of he TVs speakers fine. I've checked the Xbox one audio settings and they look ok. I've also spent an hour on web chat with Microsoft support but am no further forward.

    Any ideas, however stupid, gratefully received as I have no idea what to try next.

    :)

    Chat headset transformed into malfunctioning Stereo Headset!!!!

    Hi,

    It seems that my controller (chat headset) was updated with stereo headset firmware and I am only using a chat headset...

    This has resulted in game audio coming through my chat headset and I am unable to chat unless I hold the mute button down!

    XBox one online support chat is also offline - Using my PC now.

    Xbox One Headset Adapter Game Audio

    Posted this in the accessory category, but no one answered so...

    I recently bought an Elgato HD60 to record gameplay, but in order to record party AND game audio (bring back party chat through game audio) I need to use the game audio through the headset adapter. The problem is the game audio CONSTANTLY cuts in and out
    and is VERY low quality. I've tried resetting my Xbox, unplugging adapter, etc. nothing works. On the brightside the chat audio has worked great. Is my adapter defected? Please answer!

    BTW using Turtle Beaches XP400 with the Xbox One Headset Adapter

    No game audio on Rainbow Six unless mic plugged in.

    Thats why it isn't working. The Xbox One Mono Chat Headset (the one you're talking about) will not give you game audio. It will only provide chat audio. Your case sounds like the headset itself is broken. Try using a controller with a 3.5 mm jack and see
    if another headset will work. I have the same problem and I just use the Kinect to talk online.

    Will The Turtle Beach X32 Be Compatible with the new Xbox One Headset Adapter?

    If you do not have the RCA out, the only way this would work is if the Headset uses the Optical Out of the ONE

    To get in to details Turtle Beach Says: Please note that you will need to connect this headset to the stereo outputs from your TV or audio receiver for game audio and use the Kinect® for game chat with Xbox One.

    www.turtlebeach.com/.../58

    Microsoft Says:

    The following 3.5-mm audio headset types are supported:

    A single 3.5-mm audio cable headset.

    A dual 3.5-mm audio cable headset with 3.5-mm CTIA audio cables.

    A headset with chat audio provided by a 3.5-mm audio cable and game audio provided by a separate cable with RCA or optical connectors. (Only chat audio will be enabled through the Stereo Headset Adapter. For RCA/optical connectors [game audio], follow the
    manufacturer’s instructions to connect to the console.)

    An Xbox 360 Wired Headset with a 2.5-mm audio cable. Connect to the Stereo Headset Adapter by using the 2.5-mm-to-3.5mm adapter that’s included with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.

    Adjusting Party Chat Volume

    Hi there Ka Kase,

    Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with audio settings for a headset.

    In order to receive the audio settings through the Xbox, you will need to plug in the headset to the controller. Once you connect the headset to the controller you will be able to change any audio settings such as the Party chat volume. Unfortunately, when
    you connect the headset to the tv you will only receive the audio from the TV.

    Headset Adapter Support (Live Chat)

    I found I was having problems with the audio there was a sort of echo/reverb on the game audio. I found out if I turned the volume on the turtle beach headset 100% down and then just used the audio controls on the stereo adapter it fixed the issue.

    The problem seems to be I was getting game audio from the TV into the head phones which was going via the volume control on the TB headset wire, and previously on the 360 just the chat was coming from the pad. With the new adapter on the Xbox One it pulls
    the game audio and the chat audio via the pad, and I was also getting the game audio from the TV with a slight delay causing the distorted sound.

    Basically turn the game volume on the wire control thing on the TB headset fully down and it sorts the distorted game audio.

    The way the chat adapter volumes work is the 2 buttons on the left control the balance between game and chat audio, the middle is mute and the two on the right are master volume. This can be confusing as the two on the right used to be chat volume on the
    adapter that came with the original Xbox One headset/mic thing.

    Hope that helps in some way.

    Unable to hear others using Headset

    Hi Brodster45,

    What type of headset is being used? Is it a stereo headset or chat headset? What brand is being used like Turtle beach, Afterglow, etc.

    Does it give an error message when trying to chat in party? Does it light up the gamerpic when speaking?

    Here is a link that may help when trying to
