  2. really annoying problem with headphones..

    basically i want to use my AKG HD272 headphones for games on xbox but i dont want to use the tv headphones socket because its output quality is rubbish. i have the px21 turtle beach setup with the audio adapter but it has recently broke and id rather use
    my other headphones because they are better.

    my problem is i plug the headphones into the audio adapter using the stereo lead from the px21 headset and the volume is really quiet because there is no volume control for these headphones and i cant find any way of increasing the volume, ive already turned
    the game volume to max on the game (mw3) and some game volume setting in preferences somewhere on the dashboard but its still really quiet!

    i really want to use my headphones through the xbox audio adapter rather than the tv headphone socket because there's such a difference in sound quality when i compared the 2 on my px21 headset.

    if anyone can help it would be much appreciated!

    thanks.

    Controller connected but not working

    To give a bit more info, when I take my batteries out and put them back in the controller connects but doesn't work. If I pull out the headphones from the headset adapter I can't use the headphones but the controller still worked but as soon as you pop
    out the batteries the controller is toast until a hard boot.

    Design Lab controller issues with the headset jack

    One workaround for a messed up headphone jack it the headphone adapter. That is what I use on my controllers.

    Please help a clueless mum

    This has been a problem for me in the past as well actually. The exact same thing happened.

    In my case it was the controller headphone Jack port. They go out rather quickly if you plug and unplug the headphones often. What I did was I bought one of the adapters that are used for if you do not have a controller with a headphone Jack port like the
    older style controllers.

    It worked.

    The port on the adapters seem to be ALOT sturdier than the ports on the controllers sadly.

    The adapters are cheaper than a new controller or wireless headphones.

    Sorry to hear about your troubles and I truly hope this helps.

    Xbox one headset no ingame sound, only "xbox-sound"

    I have no sound at all in my headphone. only when im long pressing a button on the adapter for my headphones. and im using the xbox stereo headset.

    How would I go about getting sound?

    Maybe a cable like this could help. I got one when I bought my Turtle Beach headphones.

    It's made by MS. You can get a little adapter that your headphones plug into with it's normal jack and on the other end it's and A/V jack. You would then plug it into
    this adapter in the picture shown. You can still use your HDMI cable.
