    Headset audio stopped working - the console (xbox one s) didn't register that a headset was attached. It was a faulty controller, so we exchanged it and now have a new one. When the headset is plugged in the console recognises it. In settings we set audio
    to 'headset' and turn the volume right up. The headset physical volume is not muted and is turned right up. Yet no sound comes through the headset and still comes out of the tv. I should point out its a new xbox one branded headset and it works fine when
    plugged into a phone.

    We tried doing a reset of the console, but that didn't help. Any ideas what's going wrong?

    :)

    Can anyone help solve a headset audio problem?

    Sorry to hear it. If you're having trouble using the mic in chat please try these steps to see if one of them helps.

    1. Mute then unmute other people in your party
    2. Have other people in the party mute than unmute you
    3. Power cycle the console by holding the power button on it for 10 seconds till it shuts down.
    4. Delete your gamertag, powercycle the console again then redownload your gamertag

    If you still have trouble with the headset you can try the steps at this link

    I also wanted to mention that perhaps it is an issue with the jack itself. You could try getting a headset adapter for the controller. I use one exclusively and have never had an issue as the adapter is more stable than the jack.

    Hello,

    I use a simple phone handsfree headset and works brilliantly. I suggest that you try one yourself if you have one around. Next test would be connecting your headsets to another controller, a friend's maybe. Lastly, you can try your controller with another
    Xbox. There could be a problem with the pins of the jack. I sometimes need to turn it clockwise or the other way for the sound to come.

    I hope you sort it out easily,

    Cheers

    Why do my headsets not work on Xbox Series X?

    Hi Adromyster, my name is Oskayra and I will be happy to help you.

    Check to see if the microphone on the headset is muted. Some headsets have a mute button on the headset itself or on the cable.

    To check if the microphone on your headset is muted, follow these steps:

    Open the "Settings" application.
    Select "Sound & Display".
    Select "Audio".
    Select "Microphone".
    Check the "Microphone Mute" button. If the button is on, the microphone is muted.

    Check your console's audio settings. Make sure that the headset microphone is selected as the audio input device.

    To check your console's audio settings, follow these steps:

    Open the "Settings" application.
    Select "Sound & Display".
    Select "Audio".
    Select "Input Devices".
    Make sure that the headset microphone is selected as the input device.

    You can also test the headset on another version of the console. If the microphone works on another version of the console, then the problem is related to your console version. In this case, it is possible that your console is not compatible with your headset.

    I hope I have been able to help you and that your problem has been solved.

    Regards, Oskayra

    good evening

    Make sure your headset is properly connected to your Xbox. Check that the headset is securely plugged into the correct port and that the cables are not damaged.

    Check the settings on your Xbox to ensure that your headset is set as the default audio device for chat. Go to Settings > Display & sound > Volume > Party chat output and check that the output is set to your headset.

    Check the settings on your game to ensure that the audio is set to come through the headset. This will vary depending on the game, but it is usually found in the audio settings menu.

    Try restarting your Xbox and headset. Sometimes this can help to reset the settings and resolve the issue.

    Try a different headset, to verify if the problem is with the headset or the Xbox

    Check for any updates for your Xbox and headset, it could be a software related problem that could be solved with an update.
