    Hi Bobby! I'll do my best to help.

    What exactly are your Xbox console and controller/headset models?
    Is your headset directly plugged in to your controller?
    Are you using a separate mic aside from your headset?
    Also, when did this issue start to occur?
    What steps have you tried so far?

    I recommend that you try all the suggested troubleshooting steps from the link below:

    Xbox Wireless Headset, Party Chat Mixer Greyed Out. Left headset wheel doesn’t do anything.

    This isn’t to do with the controller, but regardless, I have three controllers and it’s the same with each. I don’t think you know the product. The product in question is the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Headset. It doesn’t need to plug into a controller. It’s a BT headset and connects directly to the Xbox.

    [quote user="Any1GotADollar"]How would I go about updating the controller?[/quote]

    You'll need to connect the controller with a micro USB and to the console a standard USB 3.0

    Something similar to this

    Once connected to the console and controller go to settings - kinect & devices - devices & accessories - xbox one wireless controller - update

    @Bimnog

    How would I go about updating the controller? It updated itself when I first used the system and hasn't mentioned an update since.

    @YoyoGod

    I don't have a Kinect, and I don't think the headset is recognized as a "device".
