Fortnite Xbox sounds on PC headset

WilliamMcCone · Nov 2, 2020

Hi all. I play a bit of Fortnite with my lad, he is on my Xbox and I am on my PC. When he plugs his headset into the controller I can suddenly hear all his game sounds as well as my own in my headset connected to the PC. It's obviously a setting somewhere
but I can't find it.

Any suggestions, please?

That's weird. Try using a different headset on the controller, and if that doesn't work try using a different headset for your PC.

We just purchased a HyperX Cloud Stinger Core headset for our XBox One, and the microphone will NOT work in the game Fortnite. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, what was the fix? It is only happening in Fortnite.
The microphone works fine when plugged into my phone or in XBox Party mode. The sound works in Fortnite, but not the microphone.

Hello Brad,

Thanks for responding to my post. I use a mic that plugs into a headset and it is a turtle beach headset, Also the mic works perfectly fine for Fortnite, discord and other games its just the Xbox app. I have the speaker icon but when i right click on it
all that comes up is / Open sound settings, Open volume mixer, Spatial sounds and troubleshoot sound problems.

Thanks,

Louis

I and going to assume that the desire is for the headset that comes with the system, you want to use while the controller is wired into the PC.

The default headset is onl for chat purposes and does not play audio from the xbox one so it would not on a PC either.

PC drivers and hardware to my knowledge has never supported sound in either direction through a controller.

Now the Official Xbox Stereo Headset just needs to be plugged into the audio jack on a PC. Depending upon your sound card, some or all features will work just fine.
