Controller, Headset, or Faulty Box?

Spine Doc1 · May 2, 2014

I just had a friend go through this issue a month ago and now my headset seems to be crapping out too...

The symptoms are random static and "wind" noise that can only be heard by others in your party. There is no noticeable change on the user end. I can still hear just fine. My friends however hear my voice as distant and there is a "wind" static or "bubble
wrap" noise on their end that is extremely annoying. This is the exact same set of symptoms my friend went through and he now plays through the Kinnect mic only. Are these mics that bad? It is the controller? Anyone else seen this?

Mic

could be a faulty controller jack, try to plug into a phone or pc to check if the issue is the headset or controller

Headset won't plug into my Controller

I did set this up already, i just posted this to see if anyone had similar problems. I am not sure if my controller is faulty or if it is the headset. Basically i dont want to send in the headset and get a new one to find out that it was my controller port
was faulty

Hi Microsoft Agent,

I'm having the same problem, we have an Xbox one S, we have now purchased 2 headsets thinking the first was faulty. Both headsets work on a friends xbox. We then purchased a new controller believing ours was faulty, but still no joy. We are using Xbox One
Wireless Controller 3.5mm white. We have borrowed a friends controller and the headsets work straight away on our box.

Thanks,

I believe this is either faulty controllers or maybe a faulty headset?

Beexcellent Gaming Headset, the same headset I was using when the option was there before, and (at the time) I was using the same controller when I noticed the option to adjust the party and game volumes was gone.

Edit - I looked at the wrong box and put a different headset than what it actually was.

Sorry for the later reply ive been on vacation. Have you attempted to use a different controller/headset. It could be the headset or the port on your controller is faulty

It could be that the headset is faulty now or that the jack in the controller itself is the issue. How old is the headset and controller ? What brand is the headset ?
