  2. mute all but voice on stereo headset adapter?

    i dont want to do this as i want this because my headset i use is also my speakers i just use the headset set adapter so i can talk using my headset. i get an echo from all game sound when i use adapter to talk with. (the surround sound analog cables feed
    into a digital audio decoder) and i have a spdif cable from there that goes into my xbox. i use the stereo cable and mic cable with a splitter to plug into the adapter so i can talk and hear voice as i wont hear it if i dont use the stereo cable in there

    Headset/chat question that needs answering

    I have a Tritton AX 720 headset that I use for my Xbox One (plugged into the rear optical audio port). However, to receive chat audio that will allow me to talk too, it needs to be plugged into the controller via a cable.

    My question is: if I get the Xbox One stereo headset adapter and connect the headset to it, will I still be able to get game audio via the optical cable? Or will it be forced into stereo mode because it's plugged into the adapter?


    Thanks in advance.

    Can I use my Sennheiser 598's with my Xbox One using the Stereo Adapter that plugs into ...

    Since the 598's are 50 Ohms, you would need an amp. Your best bet would be the Astro Mixamp Pro if you don't mind spending the $130. You can add a Mic for an additional $7.50 to $50 depending on which one. The 598's are regarded as one of the best headphones
    you can buy for gaming. Paired with the Mixamp and a Mic, you have a near perfect setup.

    I just use the cheap Zalman ZM-Mic1 which is highly sensitive but sounds great if you turn down your Mic gain. The Antlion Modmic 4.0 is noise cancelling, has mute and connects to your headphone grill with a magnet. This is $50.

    Px4 Headset, party voice not working

    Hi there...

    my first question...

    1. Have you updated the controller via USB while this headset is turned on and plugged into the stereo adapter?

    2. I dont have Turtle beach headset but maybe its worth asking TB support if you should use this adapter instead of the xbox one stereo adapter -

    www.turtlebeach.com/.../xbox-one-adapters


    Sound (game only) should come in from the adapter wireless if you have connected the sound output correctly. It sounds like you have as it works, not plugged in.

    Chat, is the only reason you are plugging in this into the stereo adapter so what I'm reading is that, when you plug in the headset, this is where the problem begins.

    I see on the TB website that they are pointing everyone to "their" adapter.

    Which adapter are you using? The Xbox One stereo adapter or the TB stereo adapter?

    If its the Xbox One stereo adapter, I would suggest contacting TB support to understand the difference between the two.

    Mic not being picked up with stereo adapter

    Correction to my last: per Xbox.com: "Any 3.5mm stereo headset (that uses the CTIA plug standard) can get stereo game audio by plugging into the adapter"

    Emphasis on CTIA plug standard.

    Headset Adapter and Beats Studio Headset

    Same issue with iPhone headset. Audio works great, in party chat, others here high pitch whistle. While less than desirable, it may be that the adapter is not designed to work with inline mic's. Look at the last item in the list below. "Any 3.5mm stereo
    headset (that uses the CTIA plug standard) can get stereo game audio by plugging into the adapter"

    I hope that the headset can work.

    From XBOX.COM Headset Adapter page:

    For game audio:

    - Legacy gaming headsets get game audio from the back of the console from the S/PDIF port or from your TV/receiver with RCA cables. Get chat audio by connecting the 2.5mm chat cable to the adapter

    - New Xbox One headsets – get chat and stereo directly from the adapter. No need to connect anything to the console

    - Any 3.5mm stereo headset (that uses the CTIA plug standard) can get stereo game audio by plugging into the adapter

    Can I use a Xbox one sterio headset with a DVI converter?

    Hi Legend of RDG

    If I understand your question...

    Q: If you buy the Stereo Adapter, will this allow you to hear sound.

    A: Yes, the stereo adapter will allow you to plug in headphones to hear sound. I omitted the headset that comes with the adapter just in case you already have headphones.

    (The Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter lets you plug a compatible chat or stereo headset into the Xbox One Controller to control your audio experience without taking your hands off the controller.)

    Source:
    support.xbox.com/.../stereo-headset-adapter



    The adapter will work with many existing headphones, but you can opt to buy the Xbox Headphones (w/Mic) and adapter too
