Headphone Issue - Sound goes through "chat channel" when in Party (X1)

Hey, this is a weird issue and I'm having a hard time finding information because describing it takes so long! Please bear with me!

I have a set of Turtle Beach x41 wireless Headphones with the headset adapter, and they worked awesome, that is, until the latest system update, or the one before.

When I'm playing a game by myself, the audio is great, 5.1 surround, very clear and crisp. Once I start or join a party though, the GAME sound goes through the "chat channel" so it becomes tinny, and barely stereo. I also can't adjust game volume with the control
on the headphones themselves, telling me the sound is no longer coming through the wireless base, but just through the thin chat cable that connects to my controller. Adjusting volume on the cord works, but it used to just control the CHAT volume while the
game volume would stay the same. The volume control on the adapter is just a confusing waste of time, I really don't get it, but it's probably because it doesn't work properly.

The headphones worked fine before so there must have been a change with a system update!

My controller is fully updated.

Has anyone had this problem, can they point me in the direction of a solution, or recommend a new set of Headphones? I'm looking for Wireless, 5.1 (or 7.1) surround and maybe has an official chat connection.

Please help!

[quote user="NanoTechSoldier"]Any Matrix does Encoding/Decoding[/quote]The "Matrix" in this case is encoded at the source and
decoded on the MixAmp.

No, they are not being encoded onto two channels. Encoding specifically connotes that the original multi-channel audio still exists in the two channel
form. That's not the case here. Once it goes through Dolby Headphone there's no provision to decode the two channel output back into its original multi-channel source.



Dolby Headphone is processing. It is not encoding.

 

Wireless chat frequency

[quote user="Duke Again"]Is it being changed for the X1?[/quote]The protocol is being changed, yes.

No.

The
headphone portion will work. The wireless chat channel that pairs to the 360 now will not work with the Xbox One. The Warhead lacks a chat cable facility. It is unlikely that the mic will ever work with the Xbox One.

 

I've got the same problem! I want the game audio to come from my trittons decoder box but it comes through the controller aswell, meaning the chat and the game sound is on the same channel so to speak, when I turn the chat up to hear my friends it also turns
the game sound up, is there a way to stop the game sound from coming from the controller and just have the chat like on the 360? If not there really needs to be that option, someone please help :-( I so basically I just want chat to be broadcast by the controller
and not game sound, I'd really appreciate some help on this matter.

 

I'm going to copy what I put in another thread as I found the solution. "Thanks man, I feel like a total Idiot now, I wasn't even using the chat adapter correctly, i thought i had to single press the chat symbol then use the volume control on the right,
all i have to do is hold the chat button down until i hear a beep to let me know it only chat been sent, now my headset works perfect, my headset is the Tritton ax720+ 7.1, just incase anyone wants to know they work with the xbox one,i can confirm they do,
and there awesome! Thanks for the help!"
