Controller Issue

IainReid1 · Aug 23, 2018

We have 2 XBox's and 3 controllers, all of the controllers appear the same, however both sets of headphones only appear to work with 1 of the controllers. While investigating I went into settings on
the XBox and went to "Kinect and devices" then onto "devices and accesories"... when the headphones are plugged into the controller they work with there is a "volume" option that you can put up and down. When you have the headphones plugged into the other
2 controllers the volume option is greyed out.

Any ideas?? We have 2 sons with a set of headphones each which only work on one of the controllers!

Controller Issue

Hi, it seems that I cannot change the controller for my Xbox. Its the second one I try and its like the Xbox doesn't see it, When I try to use it, some red lights start blinking and nothing happens...

It seems the guys at FUTURE SHOP never saw such a thing!?

I need to change the original because of a bad stick, otherwise it works fine

Any help appreciated.

Controller Issue

On some older model pads the battery pack can jiggle a little, so when you get excessive vibrations (rumble) it can disconnect the battery.

Try turning off the rumble feature and see if the problem persists.

Press the guide button.

Scroll right to preferences.

Vibration.

Un-check the box.

Perhaps the 3.5mm jack is not functional on those controllers? Do you have another headset to try on the controllers? They can even be earbuds with a microphone.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply.

Its odd that both headsets work with one of the controllers and not the other two though? Therefore would that not mean the 3.5mm jack is functional on both?

Thanks

Do not require help on this now - part of controller was stuck

It sounds like you're not hitting the sync button on the console itself.

With your console powered on, hit the Guide button. Wait for the LEDs to start flashing. Once they're flashing, hit the sync button (near the Play & Charge cable port). The LEDs on the controller will start spinning. After you've hit that, hit the Sync button
on the front of the consoles. On the original 360 it's its own button to the right of the MU ports. On the 360 S it's the IR window/button to the left of the front USB trap door. Once you hit the sync button on the console, the Ring of Light on the console
should start spinning.

There's a
decent guide on the XBOX site.

Controllers do wear out. Every gamer handles it different and your movements will do that to the joystick. Certain games are harder on different buttons. Thats a battlefield controller

mine looks just like it. Its a battle hardened controller that might
need to be retired. It happens to the best of us.
