Headset Microphone stops working after some time of using on Xbox One

If the headsets are fine, there's a possibility that the headphone jack on the controller itself may be have gotten damaged or worn out. I would try the headsets on a different controller.

You may also want to double-check that you go to Audio settings under the profile and ensure that "headset mic" is turned to the "on" position.

Thanks for the reply, I will check out his audio settings.

We've checked with two other controllers and cables etc and they all seem to produce the same result, works for while then the mike stops.

I'll try and convince my other son to try one of the headsets for while and see if the problem happens on his Xbox one S. (Worth a try)

Okay, let's make it clear that the problem being discussed here is when the mics of any headset aren't working on the XBox One at any time. Not "It works in party chat but not in the game" (or vice versa). Not, "My TB are fine but XX headset doesn't work."
The situation is that the mic has stopped working on functioning headsets (that work on other XBox Ones or the 360). Maybe the problems are all connected, but "sometimes working" should be on a different thread than "it has stopped working."

We believe it is a software issue. The above mention of how the 3.5mm port is being used by the software could be a lead, but that user seems to have a different issue.

Someone posted that there was a peripheral work around - some way to get two-way chat audio data to and from the XBox One console without using the controller- but we don't know what that is. Maybe some sort of USB microphone, but I don't know.

Is the microphone for this headset in-line (on the actual headset cable)? I know for other headsets this means the microphone won't work for the Xbox One.

I have seen some mica work with Xbox ones that are usb and jus the microphone and I was asking if there was one that worked in the usb slot so maybe I could use it instead of having a headset on
