Dx11s chat not working with headset adapter??

I own the X42 and it works just fine with my Xbox One Controller with the Stereo Adapter. I can't really tell if I'm getting 5.1 surround. I couldn't tell before when I had the WiFi Adapter connected to the back of my Xbox One. Once you update the controller
with the Stereo adapter connected all you need to do is connect the headset to the adapter. You don't need the WiFi adapter anymore. I think the WiFi adapter sucked to begin with. Too much whining and crackling.

I also tried this out with my older DX11 wired headset. In my opinion the DX11 works better because I can run it off the system sound, get surround sound that is noticeable. is more comfortable, and it sounds better in chat. Plus I don't need to worry
about feeding the damn thing batteries.

I do have one unique issue. I have two Xbox One Controllers. I updated both at the same time using the same process. One controller will work with the stereo adapter and the other will not. There is no way to back out the firmware update to try again.
It is entirely possible that the firmware update is your issue and not the headset.

As far as I've been able to tell, chat does not work for most 3rd party headsets when using the adapter. The adapter that was, of course, supposed to enable chat for 3rd party headsets. Sigh.

Thanks will the Xbox Chat Pad work to fix the Muted No sound headset problem or just the Headset Adapter?

cause if they both work to fix the issue I would like the added functionality of the Chat pad over the head phone adapter.

I'm having similar issues. Upgraded the firmware on the controller first. The headset works great for Game Audio wirelessly from the transmitter, but as soon as I plug it into the Microsoft Chat Adapter, game audio begins dropping out and chat doesn't function.
When I unplug the headset from the Chat Adapter game audio works great.

The chat adapter seems to be the issue.

Any ideas?

Ya I updated both of my controllers.

I had the X41 on with the chat cord plugged into the headset, then the adapter cord, and finally to the stereo headset adapter. I was in a chat with friends and couldn't get the chat sound to work. I previously used my phone earphone buds with a mic and
that seemed to work.
