    Headset/Mic Not Working


    Hi,

    Yesterday, my Xbox controllers, mic and headset were working fine. I try to talk in a party today and I find out my mic isn't recording any sound. I've tried my headset in my laptop, phone and in a different controller from the one I was originally trying
    with, and the headset and mic work fine in both my laptop and phone, but I can only hear audio when I plug the headset in either controller. My NAT type is open, I haven't received a communications ban from Xbox enforcement, and I have double tried everything
    on the Xbox One Headset Troubleshooting guide already. I have also checked for any loose wires, my mic monitoring, and the mute switch on the headset, and everything is as it usually is. Is there an issue with communication at Microsoft's end? It seems odd
    to me that my microphone isn't picking up audio in either of my controllers, and I can't see them both breaking simultaneously with exactly the same issue. Any idea of what has happened and how I can fix this?

    Regards, Robbie

    :)

  4. Headset/Mic Not Working

    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for reaching out to us! Thanks for checking out the headset on other devices and checking the network connection as well. Before we begin, I have a few questions:

    • What type of headset is being used? (Turtle Beach, Afterglow, Stereo headset, Chat headset, etc)
    • What type of controller is being used? (Special Edition Controller, Standard Xbox Controller, 3rd party controller, etc)
    • Under Devices & Accessories > ... , does it show the headset connected and is "Volume" available?
    Please try another controller with the console and let us know if the headset works with the other controller. Does the headset work with In-game chat or does it not work for Party and in-game chat?

    Make sure to change the batteries in the controller as well. Here is a link to help with Xbox One Chat Headset troubleshooting.

    I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes Headset/Mic Not Working :)

    Hi Jasmine,

    I'm using a Turtle Beach Recon 50X headset, and I'm trying in two controllers, one is a standard Xbox controller (which I have tried new batteries in) and the other is a wired mini Xbox controller. For both controllers, in devices and accessories, the headset
    and mic are recognised and the volume is available, but the mic doesn't appear to work, either in game or in a party. There also seems to be a slight audio issue, which I can only imagine is a glitch from Microsoft, and I'm not sure if it is related to the
    microphone/headset issue or not - the Xbox guide 'beeping' sounds can't be heard either, even though I can hear all other audio, whether in game or from people talking in parties.

    Regards

    Are you using the Turtle Beach audio controller and/or Microsoft chatpad adapters too? If so, try unplugging them and connect the headset directly to the controller if it has a 3.5mm plug. I had an issue with one or both of those with my TB XO Four for
    awhile and I had to direct connect the headset until a new dashboard update was released.

    Hi Frathos, I'm not using any adapters unfortunately, I just have my 3.5mm cable plugged directly into the jack. There doesn't seem to be anything else to try with it.

  8. Headset/Mic Not Working

    Hey there RodogRolex,

    Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with hearing noise through your headset. I recommend taking a look at the audio settings under the System Tab. Try this:

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Select Audio.
    4. Select Headset Chat Mixer. Try adjusting the settings in this menu.

    Check out this troubleshooting article XBF Jasmine recommended:
    Xbox One Chat Headset troubleshooting
    .

    If the problem is persistent, I suggest to visit the
    Turtle Beach Customer Support Site
    .

    Hope this helps.

    Xbox microphone issues part 3

    Make sure the headset is compatable with the Xbox. Make sure your console settings aren’t wonky, they could be prohibiting the mic from working. Is it just the mic that isn’t working or the headset all together?

    Why wont any of my usb microphones be detected on rockband anymore?

    Only one that will work is my headset mic but I prefer to use a usb mic.

    Turtle Beach / XboxOne question....

    Sorry bout that, but yes, you can use the headsets without the mic...I thought you were talking bout the mic...but yeah all headsets that have the optical output will work with the xbox one. It's just that the mics won't work and I posted a link showing
    how to fix the mic...

    Sorry for misunderstanding you there....

    X Box One Controller is muted

    Our xbox one controllers stopped working with the stereo headset (just the mic) all simultaneously.

    We tried plugging it into the 3.5 mm jack. None of my 3 controllers worked after having worked fine for months. All updated to latest firmware.

    I tested the headset on my iphone and the mic was fine there- I could record voice memos with no problems

    went to GameStop and spent $50 for the stereo headset adapter, and that allowed the mic to work again for another 30 days.



    Now the mic is stuck on mute again, the headset adapter’s slashmark icon stays lit
