    Chat echoes when using controller, but not when using Kinect


    Other people in my party (or in Skype) complain that they can hear their own voices echoing through my mic. I have tried two different headsets (the Xbox One chat headset, and Astro A50s), different wires, and different controllers. I have no audio coming
    through TV speakers - only through the headset. Game audio does not echo through the headset, so it is not leaking from the earpiece to the mic. I have also tried updating the firmware and doing a hard reboot of the Xbox One (unplugging it from the wall for
    five minutes).

    If I disconnect the Astro A50s from the controller and use Kinect chat instead, there is no echo. But this is not an acceptable workaround - I don't want the Kinect picking up ambient noise from my house and broadcasting it to my party. What am I missing?

    :)

    How come people don't like the Kinect as a chat feature? (not video chat)

    Most people say they don't like the Kinect without giving me an actually reason, they just say "It sucks."

    Why do people hate the Kinect to chat? Is it because it makes you sound different? Echos? Background noise? Me or my friends don't echo when they or I talk, I am smart enough to NOT turn on my Kinect when someone is screaming in my house for a retarded reason,
    but I will admit, I sound very different when I speak using my Kinect. I sound like I drank a lot of lemonade and my throat is puckered/dry or something close that.

    new update

    so will the option of being able to tune audio volume when using Kinect for chat will that still work for if your not using Kinect and using the headset in party chat? cause right now I'll go to party chat but cannot tune what volume the xbox feels like
    turning the volume down to and to me the xbox turns the volume down way too much for me.

    can i use my kinect as a mic

    The only thing to be aware of when using your kinect as a mic is placement of your Kinect. The mic can pick up the sounds from your TV (ie, the game and other people chatting with you) and will allow others to hear or will echo the party chat.

    Echo using Kinect

    Sorry to hear it. The echo is usually caused when the kinect picks up the noise from the TV, especially if you have the chat coming through your speakers. The best way to get rid of that is to use the headset to chat.

    Echo using Kinect

    No matter how you set your kinect up there will always be ambient noise from your television. The best option for communicating with clarity and no background noise is to use a headset. You do not have to spend tons of money on them but you get what you
    pay for. The basic $20 variety from microsoft are exactly that - a $20 headphone. Turtle Beach has reasonable headsets ranging from $50 to a car payment. I have used virtually every option from Kinect to higher end headphones. I am currently using Turtle
    Beach headset that I paid $70 for when I first purchased my XB1 when they released. No issues and I feel that they have more than reached their value. Good luck and sorry to hear that you are having issues with your setup.

    Headset Echo

    Yeah, Kinect turns off with Skype when using the headset, just not Party Chat. At least for one of us.

    As for the skype echo issue, I've also tried disconnecting Kinect just to make sure it wasn't causing issues. Heck, I even disconnected HDMI so there was no audio getting out other than the headset. No luck.
