getting 2 headsets to work on 1 xbox in fortnite

Just an update in order to help other players that could experience the same issue...

1) If you start your xbox one, by controller or by the X lighter button, and then you launch Fortnite with the headset unplugged from your controller, then your headset will not works properly.

2) If you start your xbox one only by the X lighter button, then you plug the headset into the controller and then you start your controller with the X button, after starting Fortnite your headset will works properly.

It seems that controller and headset must be started together, after having started your xbox one, but before launching Fortnite.

I hope this can help.

Thanks again.

Mic will not work consistently. It may work 1 out of 10 times when starting the game. We've done every trick, from turn mic off in Fortnite and back on. We've tested in Skype. We've verified every setting Xbox privacy settings. We bought 2 headsets, 1
new controller, new batteries and a brand new Xbox with another new controller. We've updated firmware on new controllers. Still same issue. This is a Fortnite on Xbox issue... From the thread here it seems to be going on for months. What's the deal? THE FIX
IS TO THROW YOUR XBOX IN THE TRASH AND GET A PLAYSTATION IS WHAT I'M HEARING!

there are 2 places to check for the Headset volume settings.

there is a Chat Mixer which sets up the mix of game and chat volume balance and there are the audio settings.

do both headsets work on the Xbox that 1 works on?

if they do, pair the controller from the Xbox they don't work on with the Xbox they do work on and see if both headsets work on that controller.

if they do try both controllers and headsets on the Xbox they weren't working on.

if they don't then it should help narrow it down to the Xbox, 1 of the controllers or 1 of the headsets.

you may have to get a Headset Adapter https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/accessories/stereo-headset-set-up-troubleshoot
or see if you can get a repair/replacement on the faulty item.

E' un comportamento strano, anomalo, tra le altre cose se succede solo con Fortnite, sono relativamente sicuro che sia qualcosa che deve fixare la Epic Games, se succedesse con qualsiasi gioco, allora sarebbe un problema della console, più specificatamente
della dashboard, e a quel punto dovrebbe intervenire Microsoft.

get the polk audio headsets when they come out 2/1 designed to work with games. they look way better than the turtle beach headsets and who the heck knows when turtle beach and ms will get together to get the old headsets to work as intended.
