    Mic not working, can hear but others can't hear me.

    Have you tried assigning your controller to your profile?

    Nobody seems to talk about this which is weird... But I have exactly the same problem until I assign the controller to my profile. I absolutely cannot chat with people until I do this. If I switch controllers, I have to assign the new controller to my profile
    again.

    Go to Settings > All Settings > Kinect & devices > Devices & accessories > (select the controller you're using) > Assign to someone > (select your profile)

    I hope that helps

    3.5mm mic not working but can hear others

    Hi James,

    Thank you for coming to the forums, I'd be happy to help.

    Before we go into troubleshooting, what is the model and type of headset that you are using?

    When in a party chat with others you say they can hear you but is there any warning symbol or error message that a microphone cannot be found?

    Does the background around the gamer picture react when speaking into the mic?

    Turn on Party overlay in the party chat options just but toggling the switch. An indicator will appear when speaking with your gamertag. Do you see this indicator?

    Let us know this information and we'll help you figure this out.

    Apple unfortunately is such a case. Try a cheap OMTP to CTIA adapter.

    3.5mm mic not working but can hear others

    Hi James,

    Thank you for responding and keeping us updated.

    Apple earbuds are generally not properly supported when it comes to the microphone because the ring around the jack that connects to the mic is located in a different position than the standard that is compatible with Xbox One controllers. The best way to
    make con-compatible headsets work is to get an adapter that converts the apple headphones into compatible headphones by converting the headphone standards.

    This support article explains all of that in more detail:

    I hope this helps.

    Be aware that there are two standards for 3.5mm headset connectors. CTIA and OMTP. The Xbox requires the CTIA standard. If your headset is an OMTP headset, the connectors for ground and microphone are reversed and will not work ok the Xbox.

    If your headset is OMTP, get an adapter cable for CTIA to OMTP and vice versa.
