good evening

Make sure your headset is properly connected to your Xbox. Check that the headset is securely plugged into the correct port and that the cables are not damaged.

Check the settings on your Xbox to ensure that your headset is set as the default audio device for chat. Go to Settings > Display & sound > Volume > Party chat output and check that the output is set to your headset.

Check the settings on your game to ensure that the audio is set to come through the headset. This will vary depending on the game, but it is usually found in the audio settings menu.

Try restarting your Xbox and headset. Sometimes this can help to reset the settings and resolve the issue.

Try a different headset, to verify if the problem is with the headset or the Xbox

Check for any updates for your Xbox and headset, it could be a software related problem that could be solved with an update.

Yes, it is true that you will need that adapter for use with an HDMI cable. I'm not sure about the fit on a slim, but you could consider this

i use astros so the mixamp makes 5.1

When you plug in your headset, you will see settings appear in the Xbox Guide menu.

Press the Guide button, go down to the settings tab, and you should see the available options for your connected headset.

Actually, what I did was use HDMI to my HDTV for video, and use the a/v cable the came with the 360 for audio. I'm not sure if the adapter that's sold amazon has it, but the tab I mentioned is actually on the a/v cable that came with the console.

So if you have the a/v cables, you won't need an adapter! Just cut off the tab that's on the a/v cable. I now have the HDMI going to my TV, and the a/v(red/white) cable going to my Logitech F540.
