everyone can hear me on discord but i can't hear them

I have adjusted my audio I don't know how many times and still nothing. The most I have is when they speak they say they hear a echo of what they are saying coming from my mic.

just adjust your audio settings and you should be ok

Hello WilledJupiter8,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

We understand that you are trying to use your single jack headset for PC gaming and is unable to hear the voices of your friends. Let us check on this together so you will get back to gaming.

Based on your description, you can hear the music and sound but not the voices. There could be an issue with compatibility, third party apps that has settings for audio or system/apps/drivers needs to be updated or could be anything related to the headset that is disabling specific sound to be outputted. To have a better understanding, we would like to further isolate your concern.

1. May we ask what is the make and model of your headset?
   
2. When was the last time you can hear a voice from these apps or services - Discord or Skype or games? .
   
3. Are we playing Xbox games or different storefront games?
   
4. Is the driver for the audio up to date? We will provide steps on how to update the system and apps below, please check.
   
5. Test if these works. May we know if the issue persists when:
   
   • Connecting the controller and headset, go to audio settings and output the audio through PC speakers.
     
   • Connecting the headset to PC and output audio to headset.
     
   • Connecting the headset to PC and output the audio to PC speakers.
     
   • Connect different headset to PC.
     
   • Connect different headset to PC and output the audio to PC speakers.
     

So far, from the details you provided, you can try the following steps and let us know the result. You can just skip those you have done already.

• Restart device - As basic as this is, a simple restart can set many things right.
  
• Update Windows system -
  
  • Press the Start button on the taskbar, type settings, and then select Settings.
    
  • On Windows 10, select Update & Security. On Windows 11, select Windows Update.
    
  • On the Windows Update page, select Check for updates to see if any updates are available for your device.
    
  • Once the updates have downloaded, select Install now to start the installation.
    
  • Following installation, we recommend that you restart your device so that the latest updates can take effect.
    
• For the best game performance, make sure your system’s video card drivers (or display adapter drivers) are up to date. Drivers are available on the support website for your computer manufacturer, or if your computer system is custom built, on the video card manufacturer’s support website. Updating video card drivers can resolve game crashes, improve frame rates, and improve overall game performance. Please see guide: update drivers in Windows.
