Dear, TaraKaplan

i’m sorry I miss read the part where you said “ is trying to play fortnite with his buds”

The answer is that he does need headphones or some type of earbuds in order to talk that has a microphone or a connect otherwise there is no way for him to talk to his friends besides messaging through a TV.

Dear, TaraKaplan

The reason why your sons friends are not able to hear your son is because the earbuds are not compatible with the audio port try a different pair of headphones/earbuds.

he doesn't have ANY earphones. he can hear his friends through the television. they cannot hear him. does he need earphones? my older son uses an x box one on a different television and can communicate with his friends without earphones

When you stream through Xbox there is a setting in the twitch app to include party chat. But the party members have to allow their audio to be used. If you have “Party Chat” muted on the broadcast screen (it's in between “Microphone” and “Game”), or won't have the option to include audio.

I am not a streamer so can't say for sure but I suspect other people in the party won't be able to be broadcast.....you will only be able to broadcast audio via Lightstream and, near as I can tell, while it has an audio capture option, I suspect it won't have a party chat option.
