    Headset chat mixer bar greyed out and not able to change/new controller breaking current...


    Hello,



    I recently purchased an Xbox Series S and just had the opportunity to begin using it for the first time. However, upon joining a party, I noticed two issues. The first issue was that I am unable to change the setting called "Headset chat mixer," and the setting is locked to only have party audio. Even when not in a party, there is no game audio. I have seen other forum posts that mention plugging in the headset cord slower which did not work for me, and I have no controller updates available. I am lost on how to fix this.



    The second (and more concerning) issue is when I plugged my headset into my new controller, I only got audio out of one headphone. Upon unplugging the headset and plugging it into my computer, I continue to only have one headphone giving audio. It seems that somehow plugging my headset into my new controller has broken something in my headphones and now I only get audio out of one headphone which is a MAJOR issue if new Xbox hardware just breaks my old headset



    Input would be appreciated on both of these issues.

    :)

    Hi Zepperoni, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

    To better help you, can you tell me what model your headphones are? And have you already tried them on other devices and do they work well?

    Best regards

    The only thing I can hear on my xbox is chat audio. Why is this happening?

    Hi,

    my headset is plugged into the controller but it wont let me do anything to the chat mixer and the chatmixer bit is greyed out.

    I cant access my chat mixer its just greyed out and I cant do anything

    Are you using a wireless headset like Astro A50? If so then you have to use the physical chat mixer that is built in to the headset as the console guide chat mixer will be greyed out.

    Good luck!

    Xbox Wireless Headset Chat Mixer not working

    Thank you for that. Unfortunately it hasnt worked. I still cant hear any game chat, and the chat mixer is still greyed out.

    I should point out that if I plug my wired headset into my wireless controller, I can hear chat.
