    Headset audio not functioning starting 1/20


    After an update on the morning of 1/20 any audio coming through a headset plugged into a controller no longer works. Both chat and game audio is not served to the headset.

    Tested Xbox Polk and Astro headsets.

    Tested elite and regular controllers.

    Tested xbox slim and xbox release models.

    :)

    My headset cuts out and only works with one controller

    Hey Joe,

    When it comes to headset troubleshooting there are a number of things to try to narrow down the issue to the headset or the controller. Does your headset connecting using an audio jack or through a headset adapter?

    With the introduction of the 3.5 mm headphone jack on the Xbox controllers, you are able to virtually connect mostly any headset but some may not be compatible due to the

    audio jack standards
    .

    If the headset cuts out periodically then it may be due to the audio jack not being the right standard or the audio jack port in the controller is not functioning properly.

    To troubleshoot your Xbox I recommend to
    power cycle
    the unit.

    Headsets

    You can only have 1 Microphone functioning at a time. So, you would not need 3 headsets, only 1 considering you can't have them working at the same time.

    Headset audio not functioning starting 1/20

    There hasn't been any system update since early in Dec 2016, so not sure what update you are referring to.

    In any case the process is to do a hard reset of the console by holding the power button on the console until it beeps and then start the console again. If this doesn't resolve the issue you will have better luck with support via Twitter or on the phone
    for your region to try and resolve the issue. Not much staff around these forums and those that are here are mostly forum mods and not support staff.

    Game audio through stereo headset?

    From the PS4 FAQ:

    Will the DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s 3.5mm headset jack support other headsets or headphones?

    The PS Vita system’s headset is fully supported. Some other third-party headsets may support basic audio and chat functionality on PS4, but Sony Computer Entertainment cannot guarantee it.

    Is it possible to output all game audio through DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s 3.5mm headset jack?

    Yes, you can select the Output to Headsets option to either ‘Chat Audio’ or “All Audio.”

    Headset audio output

    The tv has audio output and the headset is connects. the audio comes through the headset just fine when it is on a regular television channel, as soon as I switch to HDMI the audio stops though, despite the fact that nothing has changed between the headset-tv
    connection. It's as if when I switch the television to HDMI, the output jacks just cease to function

    Headset connected to Xbox One S controller doesn't work.

    XBF Erick C,

    I'm also running into this issue. I have a gaming headset that had fully functioning audio and mic for several weeks. One day my xbox one s stopped showing that a headset or mic was detected. In the upper right corner of the dashboard I show a mic with
    a slash through it. I have tried 2 different controllers and 4 different headsets with mics. None are being detected. No sound, no mic. I have followed several online instructions from full power cycles, checking the mic on setting, checking the audio
    output headset audio checkbox, and clicking the start party option under user icon from the dashboard. So far nothing changes the mute (mic with a slash) icon in the upper righthand corner back to a headset icon. What am I missing? Also, just to cover all
    bases, both controllers are fully functioning with new batteries and are fully updated. All headsets have been checked on other devices and are fully functional. Please help!
