Headsets not picking up voice.

Apologies if this is a repeat question, but the only ones I can find are a year or so old.

My Microsoft stereo headset suddenly stopped picking up my mic a week or so ago, I originally thought it was just my headset giving up the ghost after a good period of usage. Have bought a new headset today, and that's also not picking up the voice either.
My controller says it's up to date when I connect the original Microsoft adapter, for some reason it's not registering the Turtle Beach one when I plug it in to update, but both adapters still give me sound, and incoming chat, through the earpieces.

Sometimes when I am playing a game the voice icon will flash briefly as though it's sent a burst of static, but when I speak it's not doing anything. When I start a party app there is nothing but as I disconnect and connect the mic's it flashes in a similar
teasing fashion then stops.

I don't have a Kinect so that's not causing an issue, have been through all the recommended steps numerous times with both headsets to no avail. The only things I have not tried replacing are the controller and the Xbox itself!

Controller appears to be in near perfect condition, not been thrown across the room or slammed down in disgust (yet) so can't see the controller being the issue. If I end up replacing the Xbox it won't be with another one.

As you can imagine, I am very frustrated!

Any advice, tips or solutions will be gratefully received and might even stop me killing the kids...no pressure

headset not picking up my voice

Hate to jump into a pissin' match, but I have been having the same problem. I haven't had any luck in resolving it either. It started just the other day after the update. Which btw gave me so many problems with my service that I have spent the last two
days fixing them. I used xbox support for some of the problems (they had to have me do a factory reset to resolve some issues) and some on my own.

I've had a xbox live account longer than some players have been alive and I know my way around xbox's quirks and the peripherals problems. I just can't seem to figure this one out. I have the Turtle Beach Stealth 500x wireless 7.1 dolby headset and haven't
had a problem with them since I bought them in December. After the update, and the problems associated with it, I have no microphone in party chat or game chat. I can hear my voice through the Turtle Beach's mic, so I know it's working. I can hear the games,
console sounds, even the people in a party or in game chat. No one can hear me.

I have been using my kinect mic, which does work, just not well. Plus if I move away from my console to do something no one can hear me. Kind of defeats the purpose of a totally wireless headset that costs almost $200.00. I've done everything to fix the
problem and have come to the undeniable conclusion that the problem lies with the new update.

Turtle Beach is no help as they have no customer support anymore. Xbox's customer support seems to be lacking these days too. I can't figure it out so I'm wondering if anyone else has had any luck? Any help will be appreciated and I will be posting this
whole reply on my own thread in hopes that someone will read it and be able to help.

 

headset not picking up my voice

problem occours with... ms controller, and two different brands of headsets. looked for product names but did not see anywhere. problem also affects kienect... does not pickup my voice... ihear other people fine and ingame sounds. seems like to me the problem
didnt occour until after the last ms update. so... no voice from me in game chat or party.

 

Is it the headset that the mic can be removed? If it is, make sure the mic is firmly pushed into the headset until it clicks.

 

Yeah checked that the detachable mic is pushed into the headset to the max. Just unplugged everything from the Xbox and will leave it an hour or so.

 

Okay finally someone else has the issue I am having the exact same problem only difference in situation is halo 5 skull Candy's are my new headset and none of my other headsets (which are two of the basic xb1 headsets) none of the them pick up my voice either
this problem needs to be solved I've had this problem a little over two months and nothing
