Getting Voice chat to go through my TV, not my headset.

Inedible Food · May 19, 2014

I own Astro A50s which I primarily use to talk to friends in the XBox One Party. However, sometimes I don't like putting them on so I wan't to use my kinect to talk to them. However, today I tried to do just that, but I can't hear my friend (voice won't
play through the TV), and he can hear me through the kinect. I use my headset and I can hear his voice just fine.

Is there anyway to get voice to play through my TV and not my headset? It looks like the problem is that the XBox recognizes my headset as on all the time so it syphons voice there, but I turn off my MixAmp and headset and the adapter isn't even connected
and it still does it.

Any fix? Thanks.

:)

voice chat not comming through my headset

I also run into the issue when I use my tv speakers I only hear the voice chat in the xbox headset even though I tell xbox to have the voice go through my headset and speakers.

Is there any way to play chat through "headset and television" like on the 360?

I really hope Microsoft sees this thread and updates the Xbox One's audio settings so that your own voice comes through both the tv speakers and the headset. As a new Youtuber I am very disappointed that I cannot record my own voice on my videos without
splitting and splicing wires from my headset and controller so that my voice is transmitted through my tv speakers and recorded along with my game and party chat audio from friends. I am using an Elgato Game Capture Card and it only records audio that comes
through your tv speakers. Since the Xbox One only allows my voice to come through my headset and not my tv speakers I am unable to record my own voice. So this method of splitting wires and using the Kinect microphone causes a reduced quality and an increased
echo to my voice audio, making my videos have an overall horrible sound to them. By having my voice audio go through both my headset and tv speakers I would be able to record my voice with good quality. If Microsoft truly cares about it's consumers and making
the Xbox One an "all in one" media center with social media support then it really needs to make the change in allowing players to have their voice chat audio go through both the headset and tv speakers in its next update.

Try power cycling (support.xbox.com/.../power-cycle-console) the console, then sign in and open up party chat with someone - without at any point plugging the headset
in - and see if you get voice over TV or not.

Not game audio, game chat.

In settings, Xbox has an option to make party chat output go through your headset, headset and TV, or TV.

but that's only for party chat. i've always wondered why xbox can't do the same for in-game chat too?

With in game chat, if your headset is plugged in; game chat automatically goes to the headset, with no option to have it output through TV.

really sucks when you can't wear headsets, you can't play socially outside of parties. (in party chat; i use my headset mic, but have their voice output through my TV. game chat has no option to do this, you must wear your headset to hear teammates)

To my knowledge, you can not adjust game sound to come through the headphones only. However, you can do this for chat by going into the chat setting and voicing through the headset only. As far as game sound, I usually turn my tv all the way down and just
turn up the game sound on my controller with the headset adapter.
