  1. headphone mic not working when connected to controller


    my xbox tells me that there is a microphone connected but its not receiving any audio from it. the mic works on every other device ive tested it on and ive tried to connect it to multiple controllers and the microphone is connecting but not picking up any sound.

    ive tested other microphones on my xbox and they work no issue.

    any ideas?

    :)

    Mic on new controllers with 3.5mm built in Audio port

    Yes, both controllers fully updated.

    Mic is at2020usb+, headphones are the apple earbuds, phone is the Nexus 5.

    I'm using the audio out port on the mic and connecting that to the mic port of the splitter, and the headphones to the headphones port of the splitter, and the combo port to the controllers.

    Headset Adapter and Beats Studio Headset

    @Monty Airline

    How did you manage do use Kinect as mic while your headphones are connected to the controller? As soon as I plug in my headphones into the Stereo Headset Adapter my Kinect won't work as mic anymore... Strange thing is, this also happens if my headphones
    don't have an integrated mic

    Xbox One Controller third-party headset

    This already helped a lot, thanks for sharing those articles. I guess I know what the issue is now. The Bose QC35 just work on the controller with an in-line mic. The mic that is on the Bose already, will not work when connected to the controller.

    For anybody that is interested, I will post the link below to the cable that you´ll need:

    Audio headphones/Turtle beach streaming mic

    Hi there,

    When the audio headphones are plugged into the AV receiver, there is game sound, but I cant hear anyone in my party chat. I only see their gamertag show up in the chat overlay. They hear me thru the stream mic just fine. In Halo 5, setting audio to Speaker,
    or to Headphones doesnt change anything.

    If I plug the headphones into the Turtle Beach stream mic, its onboard amplifier does a decent job driving the audio headphones, since the stream mic is powered via USB, but the amplifier is low quality by comparison to my AV receiver. I only got the stream
    mic so I could use my AV receiver to listen to my audio headphones in online gaming. I never expected or planned on using it to power the headphones.

    Can I even can plug the Sennheiser game headphones into the AV receiver and the Mic into the controller now? If this stream mic is already connected to the XBOX via USB, and chat is only available when the headphones are connected into the stream mic and
    both run to the XBOX wired via USB, is it correct to assume that PC gaming headphones with a built in mic also cannot be split (the mic connected to the controller and chat sound coming through the AV receiver)? Im starting to think both the headphones and
    the mic must be connected to the controller together, communicating to the XBOX wirelessly, or ill just get game sound through the headphones and no chat like I am niw with this set up?
