Can you use a streaming microphone on a xbox one x console?

wizardO3 · Nov 16, 2022

I am attempting to get into the video production world. I love playing games, got my Xbox hooked up to twitch, a YouTube channel set, and everything I think I need. But there is more than one person playing and I want to record our comradery together. As such I'm having problems recording our interactions. I've tried multiple headsets, only one headset managed to gather voice data. After that failed attempt, I've tried a VERY outdated microphone, nothing was recorded. And now I'm looking at buying a new microphone.

Here is the catch. I'm attempting to record all of it through the console and sent to twitch where I can tweak or edit it from there. I have access to an ancient all in one PC, and that's it. No cell phones, no laptops, just the console. Because of this, I'm looking at the usual.
First, can it even be done? Are there microphones that will work with an Xbox one X console? I'm aware of the turtle beach stuff, but after spending $1700 in less than 6 months on a product "they couldn't help me with" and no refunds, I'm not interested in their junk.
Next, I don't make that kind of money anymore, so what's cheap, what's decent, and what's god tier that I hope to find on sale, that works?
Last but not least, does anyone have any videos of their setup they would like to share?

Any information would help, thanks and have a good day.

Unfortunately the Xbox doesn’t allow record other people’s voice if you stream directly from your console.

The only way to do that is using a capturing card and recording everything using your computer

No, there is no Microphone you can use on the Xbox One. If you want to use it for broadcasting or Streaming, then you have to use a PC to stream, as that is the only way to use a microphone to stream or broadcast your games.

It depends on the type of your streaming Microphone.

If it's an USB microphone, then no.

If the Microphone has an analogue connector (e.g. 3.5mm jack), you could use a headphone/microphone to CTIA adapter, and plug your Astro into the headphone plug and your streamer microphone to the microphone plug, and then plug the CTIA adapter into the
controller.

Alternatively, if you use a third party streaming software and are screen capturing from your PC, you can start the Party through the Xbox App on your PC, and stream the game to a capture card on your PC. Then you can mix the game audio from the captured
console with your party sound (if your streaming software allows such a mix), and then stream that from your capturing PC to your streaming platform.

The Xbox One does not support USB Microphones. You could just use a headset for talking while streaming your games or stream using your PC, and use a USB microphone on there instead.

Hi Wetty 2! I hope you are well, delighted to be able to offer you my help!

It is an honor for me to talk to you and help you in whatever way is necessary. From what I understand, the C922 webcam microphone is not compatible with Xbox Series X. You cannot activate the camera microphone for streaming on the console.

In any case, you can contact the manufacturer and ask them this same question.

Best regards,
Daniel.
