Headset isn't picking up my voice

Kiwitiwi · Nov 12, 2017

So I've had this headset for a couple of months and its been working fine up until today. It suddenly cut my voice out and no one could hear me. I could hear everyone else perfectly but no one could hear me. The chat didn't say that it couldn't find a microphone
for me or anything and I was still connected. I tried it on my phone to see if it worked there and it was just fine. I've already tried restarting my Xbox several times but so far nothing. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I own battlefield 4 on my 360, but for some reason it's trying to get me to buy it AGAIN on Xbox one. I can't use the cloud to transfer it over (only 2 gigs of space), and I can't use the disc. I would rather not pay an extra $30 for a game I

Also my surround sound headset isn't picking up my voice. I can hear audio just fine through both ear muffs, but it won't pick up my voice at all. It might be because it's broken, but I don't know for sure.

Headset Microphone not working

Hello,

I recently bought a new controller and updated it in the devices/accessories area. Now my Xbox headset microphone isn't picking up my voice on my old or new controller, but I can hear people in a party/game chat. Please advise.

I tend to stay away from deadsets as the cords can short out, instead I use a $7.00 JVC Gumy Plus earbuds and mic I picked up at Wallyworld which has a more flexable cord that isn't as prone to breaking (shorting out) near the input jack. - Which I suspect
most likely happened to your headset.

So my friend came over and tried four different times on four ms controllers using two afterglow and one ms headset. Yet still no chat avaible, if you guys cant resolve this issue then I should get a discount towards my gold suscription. I dont like paying
for a service I cant fully because of some bug from ms end.

If you want to complain about Microsoft's update process you can call their toll free number 800-469-9269 or go to this site and post/vote on suggestions.

The enforcement site is always a good place to start for issues like this. No one is saying it is the user's fault just trying to rule out the easiest possibilities first. You suggested that it might be on the other user's end and I merely suggested trying
it with another friend. No one is giving you the run around but at the risk of doing such I will defer this to someone else. You have a great day.

Good Luck!
