  1. Headset Mic randomly stopped working


    I got in a support chat twice about my headset mic not working. Although I can hear, the mic just doesn't work at all. I was told to just wait a max of 24-48 hours and that it should befixed within that time frame. They also said that my issue was being
    repoted by many others and that there was a service alert up about it, but I see that the service alert is about backwards compatibility, which doesn't relate to my issue. Also, I have tried different headsets and different controllers andit still doesn't
    work. Anyone else know what I am missing, what I should do or does anyone else have similar issues.

    :)

    Stereo headset randomly stopped working

    My Stereo headset randomly stopped working last night. I was in a party with a few people, it was working fine, but at some point the mic just simply stopped working. I can still hear through the headset, but the mic won't pick anything up. Both of my controllers
    are updated (I've tried both), console is up to date, I tried hard reset on the console, unplugging the power cord, waiting a few minutes and plugging it back in, deleting my account and redownloading it, deleting the alternate MAC address as I saw somebody
    mention that as well.

    I'm just confused as to why it'd be working then suddenly stop.

    Headset Mic randomly stopped working

    Hello i can answer this the fix is really easy your router is blocking your connection to the xbox live service

    there is a fix

    support.xbox.com/.../network-ports-used-xbox-live

    you will need your routers manual and a wired internet connection chat doesnt work well on wireless and also experiances issues while on dsl connections

    mine has been down for over a month. i have talked to reps i have done all the steps. i even did a reset to factory. i am sure it is an error with a patch update. until they find it, everyone will be complaining.

  7. I have had the same exact problem with my headset. I can hear through the headset just fine, I just cannot talk with it. The green circle won't light up in party chat and I tried recording a message and nothing came out. Judging by older forum posts this
    appears to have been an ongoing issue plaguing people for over a year now and Microsoft refuses to admit that it is a software issue and won't fix it.
