headset randomly stopped working after changing batteries in controller

sophi kitty · Mar 14, 2015

the chat headset that came with my xbox one just randomly stopped working today when i changed the batteries in my controller. they don't even register as being plugged in and i'm hearing party chat through the tv. also the mute button's LED doesn't light
up so i'm pretty sure it's not connecting... the thing is i didn't disconnect it to change the batteries... and have sense tried disconnecting and reconnecting and rebooting the system and controller.

controllers aint what they used to be.

My original controller kept switching itself off randomly, tried hanging batteries (duracell) made no difference.

I've got a black one which is 12 months old and still going fine.

I got a silver new style controller with the twisting d-pad, the left stick got lazy and the a button stopped working after 2 months.

I've now got a Gears Of War 3 controller

What brand are the batteries, type, and battery strength?

All AA batteries aren't strong enough to run both the controller and headset

Comment back so we can figure this out

I have a similar problem. It started happening after the headset firmware update. My sound quality is good. My problem is it will randomly say that my controller died or disconnected on the screen but the controller will still be on. I have to take out the
batteries to turn off the controller. The controller reconnects after I put the batteries back in and turn it back on. I change the batteries thinking that was the problem. But even with fresh new batteries it still does it. I see sharks & nobles posts and
I hope it can all be fixed with the next firmware update. Hope its sooner then later.

No one else has issues with a headset stopping the controller from working? It will actually disconnect and say, to reconnect controller while playing. Batteries are charged fully.

Again, I have tried updating it, wired, wireless (newer controllers can be updated wirelessly), with the headset plugged in and unplugged, and nothing works. Also after recieving my replacement controller, my headset has seemed to stop working. I am thinking
it is the fault of the headset, but my replacement controller is having issues staying on with new batteries. A previous post on here said an old adapter would fix the problems, and if that is so, I would think it would be the controller having to support
the headset, not the headset supporting the controller, as it works fine on a normal wireless controller.
