Fortnite chat audio on headset & TV Speakers

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to chat through the headset and game audio should be on the speakers.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please access audio settings by pressing the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide. Navigate to Profile & System > Settings > General > Volume & Audio Output.

Under the Volume section, look for Party Chat Output.

Select Headset for party chat audio to come through your headset only.

And for the game audio output. Make sure that your Audio Setup is configured to output game audio through your TV speakers. You might need to select the appropriate audio format under Speaker Audio (e.g., Stereo Uncompressed).

Next is to go to Discord audio settings. In the Discord app on your Xbox, check if there are any specific audio settings that allow you to route voice chat separately.

Once everything is done, start a game and join a Discord voice chat to confirm that party chat is coming through your headset and game audio is playing through your TV speakers.

Thank you for your cooperation.

the problem is if you plug in the included headset to your controller, it''s going automatically relegate all chat to that channel, sending and receiving ...when you don't have a mic plugged in, it relegates chat receiving to the same audio channel as game
sound, i.e. you hear chat on your TV, speakers, or headset but the kinnect is the mic...but a as you plug something into the cotroller, then both sending and receiving chat is relegated there, so you no longer hear chat on your TV, speakers or premium headset

not sure where your tb is plugged in but mine are in audio aux jack of my tv, plugging in headset mic cuts chat to speakers including aux

In the settings you can change to broadcast chat audio. That way he can hear everything in the headset and you would hear everything from the TV speakers.
