Can’t speak through Xbox one headset

I had a similar issues with my wired headsets, which I just resolved yesterday. After re-updating the controller [an original controller at that]... endlessly... I could not get it to work. I am thinking it is a failed 3.5mm jack on the brand new Microsoft
One Chatpad, that I purchase a little over a month ago. Typing on the pad still works.

The only way I found to resolve it, was to purchase one of the brand new Xbox One bluetooth wireless controllers, and plug the headset directly into the controller's 3.5mm jack. And, to use the Windows Sonic audio output. It is a horrible solution considering
my "original" controllers were working perfectly up until then.

Good luck.

Heya!

Are you still running into issues talking to people in parties? To be sure are you using the standard chat headset or another type of headset?

Let's see if we can get that working properly by
troubleshooting parties.

If you are still running into issues can you send us a photo of your detailed network stats and NAT type?

Are you seeing the same issue wired and wireless, and do you run into the same issues with that headset and another controller or on another console?

Post back and let us know if you still need assistance!

I can't hear anybody through my TB XO One headset, but they can hear me. Game chat is fine, but in party chat it doesn't work. It shows me speaking when I speak, and my friends tell me they can hear me, and if I unplug the headset, I can hear people speaking
through the TV speakers.

The fact that game chat still works proves that it's Microsoft's software, not my headset, adapter, Xbox or controller.

Ok so this is the main difference between voice preferences for the 360 vs. One.

1. On 360 your given choice where your party/chat voice's come through-headset, speakers or both. IN ADDITION, you can still speak through your headset with any of these options.

2. On One you have 2 choices: 1) you speak through the Kinect, and chat comes through speakers. 2) you speak through your headset and chat comes through head set.

The problem with these options, obviously, is that voice through the Kinect sounds faded and distant for people far away from TV. So you CANNOT speak through your headset AND have headphones (ie, turtle beaches, Bose, Beats, etc.). The only way to achieve
this is to splice the wires on your own... which is a problem. Any 3rd party product is still a few months off market at least.

Microsoft Rep: Please respond to this post.... Is there a back door option we are not aware of?

So we can’t get all sounds through our headsets?
