audio while using keyboard and mouse

Hello Hevroc,

We understand that you're attempting to use the headset on your Xbox One console while playing through mouse & keyboard.

Unfortunately, without the controller being used there would be no way to set this up but we may suggest that connecting the controller directly to the console will keep the controller from turning off for longer periods of time.

Wirelessly controllers are designed to automatically conserve the battery life causing them to turn off to complete this action, so connecting it directly would allow this function to be cancelled out.

Try this and let us know if this suggestion helps.

We await your reply!

thanks, unfortunately i do not have a kinect or web cam.

to be clear i want to use a head set i just dont want to have to remember to interact with the controller every 15 minutes to keep it on.

this does not solve the issue, with my controller plugged in its still requires interaction every 14 minutes or it shuts off. its impossible to be totally immersed in a game and also need to keep track of when your mic is gonna cut out, and take your hand
of the keyboard or mouse to jostle the controller and if you miss the time then my controller shuts off and i loose all audio and have to turn the controller back on and it takes a few seconds to re- connect to the chat and game audio, meanwhile ive died or
and playing def, and missing important audio queues.
