Console thinks a headset is connected when one isn’t

Bobby Vander · Jul 15, 2023

Why does it think it’s connected and when I plug in my mic I can’t talk and I can only hear out of one side of my headset

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:

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.

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

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".
