Chat headset hearing problem

GhostSamurai08 · Jul 22, 2014

Connected Sennheiser X2 headset (compatible with Xbox 360) to Xbox 360 controller. Mic works ok, but I don't hear anything. I hear friends voices through TV-speakers. What might be the reason? Do I need to change console settings? Can't find anything.

Do you prefer to use a headset wnen MP?

Headsets are very useful for communication, some even say communication is key. I usually play with a couple of friends in party chat, so hearing other noisy people is no problem for me. Also, you can always mute them.

Headphones not working after battery change

Hi Nicholas,

If the headset is not working here are a few things to try:

Also, what type of headset is it? Do any other controllers work with the headset? Are other people able to hear or is it a problem with both hearing and speaking using the headset?

Press the Guide button on the controller and scroll right. Choose Preferences then Voice. Then select your option for Voice Output.

Hello Benbo, sorry to hear you're having trouble with your headset.

It sounds like your headset has a separate volume and chat mixer. One of the volumes that you've turned all the way up is the mixer and should be to at least the half way point in order to hear both the chat and game.

I had this exact same problem for a bit with one of my headsets and that was the the problem

the problem is if you plug in the included headset to your controller, it''s going automatically relegate all chat to that channel, sending and receiving ...when you don't have a mic plugged in, it relegates chat receiving to the same audio channel as game
sound, i.e. you hear chat on your TV, speakers, or headset but the kinnect is the mic...but a as you plug something into the cotroller, then both sending and receiving chat is relegated there, so you no longer hear chat on your TV, speakers or premium headset

It's either your headset If this is not the problem go to Settings>General>Volume & audio output>Volume options and switch party chat output to headset & speakers, you will be able to hear hem but out of your tv/computer you wont be able to hear them threw
your headset do to the problem
