Do I need a new headset?

Jenny Steen · May 18, 2024

We can hear other players talk and they can hear us talk but there is no game audio or any other audio coming through the headset. Headset chat mixer is grayed out, all audio is up and the headset is plugged on correctly I've tried trouble shooting various ways as suggested via other people's questions, but nothing has worked. The same issues happen through a different controller aswell? Is it a headset issue or xbox issue?

What kind of headset are you using?

uh i used x07 pro and astro 50s on them even the skullcandy plyr1 headset works on the new controller.

and yeah the new controller also has the port for old 1st party accessories.

if you use the built in jack your volume and chat sounds can be found in settings/devices&Accessories/Xbox wireless controller/ LEFT side bottom 2 options.

IF you use the chat adapter these options will be grayed out.

IF you plugged the chat adapter in while you had the console already running or ingame you will have to make sure the controller is assigned to you.

I can't get my Turtle Beach Seven or my Astro A50 to work with the new controller

If the headset you are talking about has a 3.5mm jack to plug into it then you won't need the adapter anymore. However since it still has the old port aswell you can still use it if you choose to

Actually try this:

You pay a premium when you buy a turtle beach headset just for the name brand.

I tried both headset on Walmart and was impress at how awesome the sound was for Afterflow headset.
