Can't hear others through Wired Headset outside of Party Chat

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)

The issue is that mine doesn't output or receive input from outside the headset itself. Like, I can't hear people through it, but I can hear the beep from the volume button. It's not just party chat, it's everything. I just read that someone has been through
three headsets, all new, that had the same problem. Like, that's absolutely ridiculous.

My headset only works in party chat. When I'm playing other games I can see that people are talking but I can't hear them and they can't hear me. It only works in party chat.

I and my son ran into the same thing today. I bought us both Logitech headsets for Christmas. We are able to play split screen, and we can talk to other members of our party. But we can't hear each other talk. The headsets block out most outside noise,
so even though he and I are sitting right next to each other, we can't coordinate with each other in-game.

Microsoft if you're listening, please add an option that allows two people with headsets, playing on the same console, to chat with each other *through* the headsets.

When you say "nothing is heard", do you mean other players don't hear your voice through the microphone, or do you not hear anything yourself?

Do you want to hear party chat through your headset, or do you want to hear game sound as well as party chat?
