    Chat Headset Microphone Does Not Work


    Hey all,

    Recently updated to the new system update. Had not previously had any issues with my chat headset. Couple days ago my headset started not completely registering my voice, it would go in and out from what my friends were saying. Next day, microphone did not
    pick up any sound at all. Yesterday I spent an exhausting amount of time looking for solutions to this problem. I tried:

    1. Checking mute settings - not the problem

    2. Checking headset was plugged in and operating - Can hear out of it, but cannot be heard

    3. Power cycling and disconnecting xbox power cord - no fix there

    4. Checked game-chat and Skype - did not register voice there either

    5. Checked NAT and ran diagnostics - Open NAT, no issue there

    6. Reassociating profile - Check, didn't work

    7. Checking other profiles - also didnt work

    8. Cleared MAC address - no fix there

    9. Multiple disconnects and reconnect of every piece of equipment I have - nope

    10. Controller update - did update, but did not fix the issue

    11. Checked enforcement status - I'm clean

    Ran all of these against Party chat to see if it would respond to voice, did not get any signs of life. I checked the cord and it is exactly how it should be, I keep my things in great condition. Oddly enough, the Party chat icon would respond as if I was
    talking when I moved the headset cord around. If I touch the headset cord or move it, it lights up the party chat icon like I am talking, but still does not respond to voice.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how I should proceed? From what I've seen, my only other options are running a factory reset and replacing the headset. I am past warranty (by one month Chat Headset Microphone Does Not Work :( ) so I'm covering the replacement cost here. I don't know if a factory
    reset will do anything, seems like a headset issue. Do I just suck it up and buy a new headset and hope it doesn't turn out the same?

    :)

  3. Will any headset without a microphone work with the Xbox one headset adapter?

    Hi everyone, I am going to buy the headset adapter and was wondering if it is a must for my headset to have a microphone. I want use a headset just for game audio and not for chat. Will any headset without a microphone work with the adapter?

    Thanks in advance

  5. I would suggest trying a party test...but with the controller plugged in via usb to rule out any wireless issues.

    Looks like you've covered everything else.

    FYI: There are a lot of reports after the NXOE update so IF going wired doesn't fix it.

    and IF you have all games and apps on an external HD

    Id try doing a factory reset.

    If that doesn't work, i would contact official support and follow their steps.

    Broken microphone

    The microphone does not work in any games nor does it work in party chats. The headset is the standard headset that comes with an xbox purchase.

    Astro A50's not working in party chat or game chat on Backwards Compatible games

    Does the headset work on Xbox One Party chat (i.e. do you see a circle around your gamerpic in the party chat on Xbox One)?

    Are only Backwards compatible games affected? If so, it might be that the Astro A50 base station acts as a USB microphone, which doesn't work as Chat microphone on the Xbox 360.

    You might have to contact the Astro A50 support for information on how to use that headset on backwards compatible titles.

    Yeah it works on the Xbox One party chat but yeah that's what i was thinking i might just have to get a old Xbox One chat headset for it to work.
