Headset Audio very quiet

When I first got my headset 4 days ago it was very loud which helped my gameplay, now I can hear a pin drop whenever I use it, how do I fix this?

Currently turning it back on, thank you thus far.

It is a wired Hornet headset, Console is Xbox One S, I have updated my Controller in hopes that it would help solve the issue which it has not. (It was still low before the controller update).

Have you tried plugging the headset into something else like a phone, stereo etc, basically anything with the same 3.5mm jack? Just so we can rule the headset out as the cause of it...if it's still quiet, then it's the headset...it's quite common in cheap wired headsets

I'll recommend you do a power cycle to clear the system cache

- Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

- Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 2 minutes.

- Plug the console power cable back in. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on and check if it's all good.

If that doesn't help, I'll suggest you try doing a factory reset keeping games and apps on your console. This will refresh the console and remove all potential bugs without deleting any game data.

- Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

- Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

- Select Reset console.

- Choose Keep Games and Apps

Once that is done, you'll need to sign into the console using your Microsoft account credentials. If the issue is with your console, that should fix it.

It works perfectly fine in my Phone, laptop and Personal Computer, just not the same case with the Xbox.
