Either my headset or adaptor on my controller is causing my headset to cut out for a few...

The lack of real headsets is ruining my multiplayer experience. I'm cutting back until they launch the headsets/adaptors.

All I know is, my spliced headset adaptor I made from the included headset is going to work fine for me until true wireless headset options come out (no wires between headset and controller)...

This is a really strange issue. It's almost acting like the adaptor is behaving like the chat headset that comes with the box (or that the controller is seeing it that way), in that when the standard headset is plugged in, the chat audio cuts out in exactly
the same way....

So, I also had this issue with a separate pair of Tritton headphones (AX360s) and thought the issue was a faulty adaptor. Well, I exchanged for a replacement adaptor today and still had the same issue.

My setup was that I needed all audio, including chat audio, to be output via the SP/DIF but with the MIC in going through the headset adaptor. Chat audio would cut out from the SP/DIF as soon as I plugged my MIC in but people could hear me once I did that.
So I reckon this is a software issue where the adaptor incorrectly thinks I've plugged in a headset that should get chat audio from the headset adaptor direct (i.e. like the official xbox stereo headset).

Took both adaptors back in the end for a refund.

I had a issue simular to this. I updated my elite controller with the headset adaptor and headset plugged in. I haven't had any problems since then. Are you having headset issues with standard controller or only the elite?
