controller behaves funny with mic plugged in ...

If I try to start up my xbox1 with controller with the mic plugged in the controller light flashes but box does not fire up. Can still switch box on manuallty or with voice but when box switched on the controller light still flashes but will not recgonise
and nor can I enrol it.

If I at this point attach the plug and play lead the controller kicks in and behaves. Otherwise I have to remove the battery and the mic then start the controller without the mic plugged in. Any solutions/ explainations?

:)

 

$700 system with a five dollar pos mic

Go to settings and update the controller with the mic plugged in.

 

controller will not turn on with mic connected

same problem. even tried re-calibrating the controller but i cant do it with mic plugged in because the controller wont turn on. not sure if its the controller or the mic but im super confused.

 

Hey there Sidney! That definitely sounds odd! Let's see what we can do to get things sorted.

To start off, here's a few questions for you to help us better understand the situation:

1. If you start the console up initially without the mic plugged in, do you get any issues?
   
2. Do you have access to another headset (perhaps a friend or family member's) that you can try plugging into your controller and powering the console on? I'm wondering if the issue lies with that specific headset.
   
3. Are you using the Xbox One standard headset (that came with the console)?
4. Do you have access to another controller that you can try this same headset with to see if it reacts the same when trying to power on the console?
   

Let us know and we'll be standing by to hear back from you! ^_^

 

thanks for the reply, in response:-

1 no

2 no

3 yes

4 no

it only appears to be if I start the xbox whilst my headset plugged in. If I start the box with headset unplugged things work fine. It's not a major problem just a minor annoyance.
