    Headset not working, what am I doing wrong.


    Alright I am about done with Microsoft. I have an xbox one and from the start it would not pick up that I had a headset inserted, all the sound would still come from the tv and nothing would come through the headset. I bought turtle beaches thinking maybe
    it was just the chat head set. I have tested both headsets on the computer and they definitely work on the laptop. I have tried using both headsets on two different controllers still nothing. I have done all the trouble shooting steps that Microsoft does with
    you. I have also sent in my xbox twice both times they have just sent me a new console. What am I doing wrong? Is this an extremely common problem because I don't think I should be able to have gotten 3 xbox ones and have all of them with the same issue, that
    is just *** luck if so. Please help I do not know what to do.

    :)

    What Am I Doing Wrong

    Thanks for all the advice folks. I'll do my best to apply it to what I already know. Hopfully, I'll feel like I'm improving soon.

    I hate to tell you this but the Xbox One console does not transmit game sounds or music through the Xbox One Chat Headset. If you're looking for an Xbox One headset that provides both game and chat audio, you should be
    getting yourself an Xbox One Stereo Headset.

    To set up an Xbox One Stereo headset, you can follow the steps provided through this link:

    well actually the turtle beaches would be a stereo headset so in fact those should at least work and they havent either so ... something still doesnt work on the xbox one. I have done a little bit of looking and from the people I have talked to this is a
    pretty common occurrence which is unfortunate because i was a huge xbox fan. and i am not looking for the game sound i am looking to be able to talk with people and send voice messages. you know chat sort of like how the headset is called a chat headset.

    Also are you playing with friends that are much much more experienced than you? Halo 4 has a hidden trueskill system and if you are playing with friends that are much better than you then it might be matching you with harder enemies than you would normally
    run into. Or are you not playing with friends at all. I would recommend playing with friends for sure. And yes try different specializations out. I love to drive the warthog around and let my gunner kill people. So the "Wheelman" specialization was perfect
    for me. Might be best for you too. I seem to do better in Big Team Slayer than I do in team slayer. Just try different things. We all have our good and bad games. Sometimes I do very well other times I do terrible. haha Just focus the most on having fun.
    You dont have to be at the top of the killing list.

    Oops I have a typo. The specialization is not called wheelman its called "Operator".

    The only thing I can think of is a somewhat 'rookie' piece of advice. Try out different specializations and find the one that suits your playstyle the most. Other than that, it sounds like you should be doing fine if what you're saying about sticking with
    team mates is true. In Halo it is very true that there is strength in numbers.
