Headset chat mixer slider missing from Volume settings

Hi
Sp4ceNutella,

The chat mixer that you are looking at in the volume settings is not quite what Brad was referring to. If your Plantronics headset plugs via 3.5 mm audio, then your volume settings are controller easily from an audio option located beneath the settings option
when the Xbox guide is opened.

Press the Xbox button and when the guide pulls up, scroll to the right to the last tab and select Audio underneath Settings. Then the middle slider is listed as "Headset chat mixer" which controls the game and chat audio percentage. Make sure the slider
is centered for an even distribution.

If your headset has a headset adapter designed for the Xbox One controller, then that same mixer would be located on the adapter.

Hey, I have those exact headphones too!

When it's plugged into the controller, open the side panel by double-tapping the Guide button, and go down to the cogwheel icon (Settings) to bring up the headset volume settings.

You should see a slider bar for "Headset chat mixer". This balances the game volume and the party chat volume. You typically want this set in the middle at 50% so you can hear both.

When headphones are plugged into the controller, there should be an option to adjust the "headset volume" (which is the game volume through your headphones).

When headphones are plugged into the controller...

• Double-tap the Xbox Guide button.
• Go down to the "Settings" icon (picture of a cogwheel).
• You should see a bunch of volume slider settings underneath the "All Settings" option.
  • Headset mic (on/off switch)
  • Headset Volume (slider)
  • Headset Chat Mixer (slider)
  • Mic Monitoring (slider)
• Adjust "Headset Volume" to the desired volume level.

If you don't see all those volume options, your Xbox might need a simple
power cycle. Then you can try the steps above again.

The game audio through the controller works just fine with my pair of Bose QuietComfort 25 (QC25) headphones.

Hopefully this helps!

Hey!

Good news everyone, thanks for helping, I fixed the problem. I had to update the firmware of the controller because I hadn't updated its last firmware and something glitched I guess.

Thanks,
