Gone through 2 chat adapters

Thy Death · Jul 27, 2014

So I am here pleading to look over the Stereo Headset Adapter Microsoft. Please. I have now had two in a row stop working on me due to a faulty cable after only a few months of use. I have taken great care of them both, yet they both stopped working the
same way. The cable that connects the adapter to a headset is the problem. The thin flat wire. It is very cheap and after some easy use, starts crackling, then just stops working. I have spent hours and hours troubleshooting and making sure that it is
the problem, and it indeed is. Please fix this, or lower the price on the adapters, or maybe even sell the connector wire separately for cheaper. The plastic part that connects into the controller have had no issues, only the wire. Please look into this.
Many of my friends have had the same issues and are very frustrated.

:)

Mic adapter for 3rd party headphones

I played through the Kinect Voice Chat feature...i had to be in "party chat" not game chat though...they sell xbox one chat adapters on ebay from $20-$70. You can also look to splice your own wires.

Headset Adapter - Chat not heard on my end.

Yup, I've gone through everything.

Just spent 45mins in chat with Support. LOL

They couldn't explain why the Tritton Adapter works, and the Microsoft adapters don't.

She got into port forwarding on my router. Then try the offline system update for my console if that doesn't work.

OR

How 'bout I just go buy another Tritton headset with their adapter for $60, as it seems I already wasted $70 on two Microsoft adapters, that don't work on the Microsoft product they were built for.

Please close this thread as I've gone through chat instead to get the adapter.

Actually the chat adapter that they are selling as of today does send both game audio and chat audio. There are even two buttons on the adapter itself that you can use to adjust the game audio vs chat audio percentage. The new Polk headset and the two
new Turtle Beach X1 headsets get all game and chat audio through the new stereo headset adapter that was released today.

I imagine that your modified version of the adapter is actually a much better solution for 3rd party headset users, because it was modified off of the chat microphone and adapter that came with the X1. It was designed to just deliver chat audio back and
forth.

Now that Microsoft has gone down the road of both game and chat audio coming through the controller and adapter, it has changed the playing field. It is great if you use a headset that doesn't have any other audio signal coming to your headset.

Also, I did look through the link above. It is where I got the idea to turn game audio to 0% and chat audio to 100% coming through the adapter. Thanks for the idea though.

You have to turn the game audio down to zero on the adapter, basically press the chat button on the adapter unroll you hear a double beep.

The reason for this is that the Xbox One is sending the game audio and chat audio through the adapter. Your also getting the surround sound through the Turtle Beach transmitter. So if you don't turn the game audio down through the chat adapter you'll get
stereo and surround sound in your headset.
