game/ party chat with 35mm jack headphones problems.

I get the same problem. Playing BF4 get a party invite join in. Game volume goes to 60% causing me to have to turn it up beyond normal levels resulting in distortion. I am using a HTIB connected via optical and my headphones plugged into my HTIB headphone
jack. Everything is fine until I join the party it gets terrible for sound after joining. I'm in the same boat, if this doesn't get fixed I can't use party chat ever. I am using Kinect for chat during these instances.

I wanted to share a possible work around for those who are technically inclined.

This will only work with the MS Xbox One Chat Headset and requires basic soldering skills. This instructable is a good place to start, but I suggest using TRRS jack and 4 conductor wire so you don't end up with issues with certain headsets.

Notice MS Xbox One Chat Headset color scheme is not standard:

• Blue = Headphone Left (Tip)
• Black = Headphone Right (Ring 1)
• White = Microphone (Shield)
• Copper = Ground (Ring 2)

hi federico i had same problem on 2 xbox one controllers no sound coming through headsets.go into audio settings and find headphone chat mix sliderif not there its a problem with the headphone jack port.i sent 2 controllers back 2 microsoft for exchange
because of this fault with the jack port. hope this helps.

Game sound through the tv either with the headphone jack or the RCA jacks into the tv if it has outputs

then I spliced my chat headset controller jack into the mic/chat cable of the x11 now have stereo game sound ( footsteps galore ) and full chat functionality on my x11

woohoo

if the headphones are still not working after adjusting the Audio and Chat settings, it could be that the 3.5mm jack in the controller is faulty.

try testing with a different controller to see if it's the controller or the console that is the problem.
