  1. Headsets No Longer work


    Been searching for many days as of late and have come up empty on a solution to a problem I have recently come across with my Xbox one. All of a sudden one day after turning on my X1 my headsets no longer register sound or are able to talk into. I have used
    multiple headsets and controllers. I then tried to plug in my kinect and to my surprise it does in fact work my friends are able to hear me and vice versa. Is there a fix for the problem I am having or do I need to purchase a new xbox one since my warranty
    is up :/

    :)

  2. Headset Mic No longer works

    HE IS RIGHT!!

    This is definitely something they know about and I feel like don't care. When I bought my Xbox One. Everything that came with it had to be replaced. The console, the controller, and the headset all in only a few months. One after the other starting with
    the controller, which the LB button quick working in a month. The the console was bricked while it was installing a system update from Microsoft. After I got it back my mic stopped working shortly after, suddenly and for no reason at all. It's still in a box
    with their address on it in the trunk. I bought a new one because it was almost as cheap as paying to have it sent back. Well guess what? Yup, you got it, a few months of use and right in the middle of a GTA session while trying to introduce a friend to the
    game it stopped working mid-sentence. Same problem.

    Here's the moral of my story and what I will be doing to remedy this situation:

    BUY A TURTLE BEACH HEADSET or something comparable

    Microsoft makes junk and they do not care. Here's a computer, it's gonna get viruses, somebody might steal your identity and bank account, the thing might just freeze up all together for no apparent reason, but don't worry... it's cool.

    They figure they will replace anything in warranty no problem and they stay really busy honoring them warranties. They just bank on most people are just going to replace it on their on or lose their proof of warranty or that you will forget its covered by
    warranty or whatever. Just that you wont actually make them replace it and they will get paid over and over for the same thing.

    By the time you end up buying a good set because you replaced the other one so many times you could have already paid for the good set and never went through the headache.

    Dont count on your replacement to perform any better. You will be disappointed.

  3. Headset Mic No longer works

    I can almost assure you that the wires inside are the problem. The stock chat piece has a fundamental design flaw in that the wiring comes straight out of the adapter and those wires end up getting repeatedly kinked to the point of failure. i don't know
    if there is a warranty for that item, but they are only 25 dollars to replace. That being said a new one will eventually fail as well.

    I have also found myself in the same boat. Such a shame that Xbox1 has yet to update this malfunction being that we have been advocate user of Xbox for years. I sure do hope that they realize that the last update they did about a month ago caused this
    issue and that they fix it sooner than later! Making the consumers dish out even more money having to buy extra pieces so that our headsets work for our kids is unbelievable and quite disappointing to say the least! I am really thinking about switching over
    to Playstation after this.

    The reality is there's only so much one can physically do in order to prevent a wear & tear issue - unless of course we want to go down the route of "lets over-engineer the daylights out of it" which would arguably make things prohibitively expensive! In
    all honesty I've had my Xbox One for 4 years now, I had the Xbox 360 before that & Xbox before that and in the 17+ years never once had an issue with the headset port, but I'm also only using it 2-3 times a month at best. That's the sort of use it's engineered
    to be dealing with, not Fortnite popularity levels which have been seen of late!

    Greetings, Kizami z3r0. Are you using your headset with a chatpad? I'd also be interested to know what type of headset you are using.



    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the fact that you have several GFWL. Do you mean that you have several different gamertags?



    Thanks for the clarification! Standing by for your response.
