can't hear chat audio through headset

GuillotineGlock · Apr 21, 2017

Ok so for whatever reason I can't hear other people talk. I switched out the headset, I switched out the Controller. I can still talk though. But, I can't hear other people talk. I know their talking though, because I can hear it through the screen or whatever
when I unplug the headset.

Xbox Audio suddenly stopped playing through headset?

I was sitting here in chat on the dashboard and all of my audio that was playing through my headset started playing out of my T.V. Nothing was changed, it did it by itself. I'm using the Turtle Beach x12 headset and it is working perfectly. I can still hear
people chat through the headset and they can hear me talk, I just can't seem to get all of the other audio through them. Changing the audio settings in the Xbox menus did nothing to help the issue.

What happened?

Headset via Adapter: In game Chat & Audio can be heard fine. But I cannot hear party chat, yet they can hear me?

All in the question really.

Set up is simple, Xbox ONE controller > Stereo Adapter > 3.5mm Splitter > Headset with separate Mic/Audio cables.

When playing a game I can hear the game's audio and the in-game chat come through perfect on my headset and they can also hear me.

However when I decide to go Party with a friend he can hear me but I can't hear him?

When I use the original Xbox One Chat Headset (the crappy little one ear and mic) I can hear him and he can hear me.

It's not a problem with my headset or wires as I can hear the game audio, chat from players in the game etc. all fine! I just cannot hear party chat?

for whatever reason it started working now, it may of been that I had the power cord from the Xbox unplugged all night. I don’t know. I tried unplugging the power cord last night and that didn't work so I don't know why it made a difference now.

Not game audio, game chat.

In settings, Xbox has an option to make party chat output go through your headset, headset and TV, or TV.

but that's only for party chat. i've always wondered why xbox can't do the same for in-game chat too?

With in game chat, if your headset is plugged in; game chat automatically goes to the headset, with no option to have it output through TV.

really sucks when you can't wear headsets, you can't play socially outside of parties. (in party chat; i use my headset mic, but have their voice output through my TV. game chat has no option to do this, you must wear your headset to hear teammates)

I did this and it didn't fix my problem. I can't hear game audio through my controller. I've tried using different controllers, same result. Using different mics on those controllers, still same result. I've also used the headsets on different devices
like my phone and PC and they work fine. To add to it I can hear chat audio, I just can't hear game audio through the headset. I'm thinking it's a controller issue or Xbox issue. I've changed the audio output to something else doesn't fix it.

The wired headset that comes with the 360 is for in game chat only with other players.

You will not hear game audio through it, for full game audio and chat you will need a full headset.

An excellent budget headset to use with the 360 is something like the Turtle Beach X12, these connect through an additional adapter that plugs into the console itself.
