Xbox 360 Controller BS

My USB 3rd party controllers don't have mic ports, but they are meant for computer.

My wireless 360 controllers all had mic ports.

Return the controller if it is still under warranty. More than likely it is the Connection in the controller.

If its not under warranty, you can still pay a fee in order to get it replaced or fixed, or take it to a local repair facility.

Another alternative if you feel safe doing so (and this will indeed void the warranty if their is one, so proceed at your own risk), you could try and fix the problem yourself, which may be simple as something came loose, or possiblity something broke.

Yes, both controllers fully updated.

Mic is at2020usb+, headphones are the apple earbuds, phone is the Nexus 5.

I'm using the audio out port on the mic and connecting that to the mic port of the splitter, and the headphones to the headphones port of the splitter, and the combo port to the controllers.

My mic usually has the same problem, but my Xbox Controller's mic port is causing the problem. Either the controller mic port could be their issue, the mic plug-in cord, or the mic in general. Feedback has also had issues with constant screeches.

Try pushing the Dashbord button. Go to Chat. In there you can toggle the Kinect Mic on/off. Try turning off the Kinect Mic to see what that does for you. Also if you or your friend have an extra controller you can try one of them to see if the controller
itself is the problem.

The other possiblilty is that the mic-port contacts in the controllers have lost their "springy" action. A loose connection will cause communication failure. If you and your friend use the mics a lot and this issue is very recent that could be the cause.
It had happened to me and I fixed it now it's fine.

Steps to Fixing Mic-Port Problems:

1.) Remove screws that hold the controller together. A special type of small Screwdriver may be required.

2.) Once the cover is removed locate the mic port on controller.

3.) The Mic port will have 2 very small metal tabs. 1 on top & 1 on the side. VERY CAREFULLY bend the tabs inward using a small pointed tool. Using the mic jack as a type of gauge.

4.) Reassymble the controller and test to see if it helped.

No USB head sets will work unless they plug into the controller mic port as well.
