Chat headset game audio coming through

Hi.

Today after playing around woth the audio settings i started getting game audio through my chat headset.

I reset all the settings to default but this didnt work.

I even factory reset mt xbox but am still getting them.

I also noticed the audio mixer settings isually on the settings tab of the sidebar are gone.

the newer 3.5mm controller

The chat headset is designed to only give you chat audio, and leave game audio coming through your television.

Any other headset will give you both game and chat audio through the headset, whether you use the new controller or the older version with the headset adapter.

 

XBOX One Chat Adapter & Turtle Beach Issue

Actually the chat adapter that they are selling as of today does send both game audio and chat audio. There are even two buttons on the adapter itself that you can use to adjust the game audio vs chat audio percentage. The new Polk headset and the two
new Turtle Beach X1 headsets get all game and chat audio through the new stereo headset adapter that was released today.

I imagine that your modified version of the adapter is actually a much better solution for 3rd party headset users, because it was modified off of the chat microphone and adapter that came with the X1. It was designed to just deliver chat audio back and
forth.

Now that Microsoft has gone down the road of both game and chat audio coming through the controller and adapter, it has changed the playing field. It is great if you use a headset that doesn't have any other audio signal coming to your headset.

Also, I did look through the link above. It is where I got the idea to turn game audio to 0% and chat audio to 100% coming through the adapter. Thanks for the idea though.

 

Hey there FeatPond!

I'm sorry to hear about the audio issues. The audio settings were moved during a recent update. You can check your settings by opening up your
Settings menu, then navigating down to Display and Sound
then checking under those specific settings.

If that doesn't do the trick, post back and let us know what kind of controller you're using, what headset you're using, and what audio mixer you're using. We'll need that information in order to determine the best course of action next.

Thanks!
