    Controllers only work plugged in after update


    I have 8 xbox one controllers. 4 from the launch and 4 from the one s time frame. I updated 3 of my one S controllers on 3 different XBox’s and now they only wirk when plugged in. 1 controller had rechargabke batteries and 2 are using disposables. This
    is nonsense. I have done all the troubleshooting steps that remotely relate to this issue to include factory reaetting everything. Now I have 4 XBox’s downloading everything back to them which is going to take forever not to mention completely bottle necking
    my internet and 3 controllers that still will only work plugged in. I am being told the mother boards are bad. If that is the case then Microsofts ipdate bricked my controllers. I need this resolved now.

    :)

    USB Port Troubles

    The controller is updated. The weird thing is it was working one minute then slowly would only work for a minute or two after being plug in and just less and less time it would work.

    Game DVR with no sound

    That didn't fix it, however I noticed my clips lacking audio (only with Game DVR while Turtle Beach X07s where plugged in) as well after the recent update, my fix that worked today...plug in controller, remove batteries (I tried with batteries and it failed),
    update controller again and now it works for everything. Hope it works for others! ( I also cleared persistent storage but I doubt that did it.

    New headset with adaptor mic not working

    If your Xbox one Controller doesn't work or gets disconnected after you plug in your Stereo Headset Adapter, unplug your adapter,
    and then update your controller without the adapter. After the controller is updated, insert your Stereo Headset Adapter back into the controller.

    controller will not pair only works plugged in

    Hi, Richardmatt223hwes! Thank you for reaching out.
    I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
    I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with your controller.

    Would you mind giving this a try?

    - Press and hold your controller's Xbox button until it shuts down.
    - Remove your controller's batteries and the USB cable for a minute or two.
    - Press and hold your console's power button until it shuts down.
    - Remove all external devices from your console's ports.
    - Unplug your console's power cord for 5 minutes.
    - Plug the power cord back in.
    * Please use one of the wall's outlets instead of any extension cord, power strip, or similar devices.

    - Turn your console on and check if the issues persist.

    * If you find that your controller still won't connect wirelessly, please try syncing it with your console again.

    Please let me know if that works, I'll be looking forward to your reply.
    Best regards.

    Controller plug-in headset no longer working after update

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    Press and hold your console's power button until the console turns off, remove the power cord for a few minutes.

    On your controller press and hold the Xbox button until the console turns off and remove the batteries for a few minutes.

    After a few minutes plug the power cord into your console again, put the batteries in your controller, turn on the console, plug your headset into the controller and try again.

    If that doesn't work, open Skype and in settings see if any sound is detected in the audio test.
