  1. Headset not working


    My headset doesn't seem to work anymore. No sound coming through for chat and no mic indicator. The headset is pushed in all the way and I tried a different controller. Strange thing is when I push the 'volume up' button, I can hear the beep. Seems to have
    cropped up after the last update. I don't play very often, so not sure when this started.

    :)

  5. I've had this same issue. Im using the polk 4 shots for my xbox and not long after having them no sound was coming through. I tried the 4 shots with other things and they worked fine so I assumed my chat adapter was faulty. I bought another chat adapter
    and the problem went away, my headphones worked fine again, until today. I now have no sound coming through my headphones again, Microsoft can get lost if they think I'm paying £20 again for another chat adapter. Annoyed isn't the word.

    Hey guys,

    If you can hear people through your mic but they aren't hearing you, it's normally because the controller with the mic plugged in doesn't know which profile is using it.

    The fact that you can still hear the volume up beep tells me the headset is fine.

    Try one of these two suggestions:

    • Position yourself so kinect can see your face and the controller in your hands.
    • Go to the home screen and select your little profile icon on the top left next to notifications. Then select Choose this person on your profile.
    Hope this helps!

    Polk 4 shot ....had the same issue, pressed volume up on controller and could hear the beep upon maxing out but no other sounds..... Solution: look down at your controller... The part that connects to the controller then to your headset has 5 buttons...
    Press that button on the top left that looks like a controller with a plus sign on it.... BACK IN BUSINESS! scroll left and right on the dashboard, you should hear the sound now. High Five!

    No chat mixer settings

    It will only show up if you have a headset that is plugged in with a headset adapter. Means it works with turtle beach headsets and others like that. It won't work with the headset that comes with the xbox. If you buy a chatpad you get a other headset with
    itthat one works too. Other then that the headset options don't show up with the standard headset. Hope that helps.

    My Mic Wont Work On Xbox

    Will need some more info, what is the make and model of the headset

    Has this worked the past.

    Does the headset portion work correctly, in other words do you just have an issue with the mic.

    Can you try another controller, or better yet try using the headset on a friends xbox or take it to gamestop

    If the headset works on another controller then it may be an issue with the controller or console, if this headset does not work with another controller, then it may be an issue with the headset.

    Not all headsets are supported with the xbox

    "We were unable to find a microphone for these people" error on xbox one S

    Tried 2 different headsets one is an MS authorized chat headset. The first headset was working till about 3 weeks ago, it works fine on other devices. Definitely not a headset issue

    Headset chat

    Thank you for your reply.

    They are all headsets for x box one and all the headsets have worked at some point. What i mean is the headset will work once then not work again and so on
