Headset output coming from TV even though headset only is selected

The tv has audio output and the headset is connects. the audio comes through the headset just fine when it is on a regular television channel, as soon as I switch to HDMI the audio stops though, despite the fact that nothing has changed between the headset-tv
connection. It's as if when I switch the television to HDMI, the output jacks just cease to function

If using headset for game audio and chat, mute the TV or any device your game and chat audio is coming through and make sure 'chat' is set to output through headset only. If you have your tv volume up in the background while you're on the headset there
will probably be echoing especially if you have your party audio set to output through your TV.

Hello Barry,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you have a question on how to change chat to not come through your TV. First if there is no headset plugged into the controller, it will automatically come through the TV. If there is a headset yo need
to go to settings>general>Volume & audio output>change party chat output to headset.

Thanks,

Brad

Thank you for the reply.

To make the fame and system audio only go through your TV, and the party chat only on your headset, follow these steps:

1. Press the Xbox button on your controller and navigate to the Profile & system tab.

2. Select Settings, then General, and then Volume & audio output.

3. Under Headset audio, select Stereo uncompressed.

4. Under Party chat output, select Headset.

5. Under Speaker audio, turn off HDMI audio.

I hope this helps!
Adam.

Not game audio, game chat.

In settings, Xbox has an option to make party chat output go through your headset, headset and TV, or TV.

but that's only for party chat. i've always wondered why xbox can't do the same for in-game chat too?

With in game chat, if your headset is plugged in; game chat automatically goes to the headset, with no option to have it output through TV.

really sucks when you can't wear headsets, you can't play socially outside of parties. (in party chat; i use my headset mic, but have their voice output through my TV. game chat has no option to do this, you must wear your headset to hear teammates)
