Hear voice chat through headphones - Series X

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Thrasher585, usually this type of configuration is in the options: Settings»Audio output and Volume»Auto-speaking audio, if it is marked in gray is because the headset is connected, disconnect the hedset and the HDMI audio output put in Headset Format and in the Headset Audio setting put Windows Sonic if you do not use Dolby Atmos etc.

Are you listening this through your tv/audio speakers or headphones connected to the controller? Some headphone adaptors can vary the volume between game vs voice chat. Also, it is possible to accidentally have them on 'mute' which means you can't hear
them but they will still hear you.

Hey there,

In order to hear game audio through headphones on the Xbox 360, you will need a headset that plugs into the RCA ports on the back of the console. Headsets through the controller will only pick up voice for party/game chat. Hope this helps!

There are a few work a rounds you can do.

1) There are mic and headphone connectors for 360 from 3rd party developers that plug into controller and let you connect a standard PC headset to a 360 controller

2) you could simply ignore the mic and plug headphones into the TV then put the 360 headset over them and set it to play voice back through speakers then you get the voice chat through the headphones and the headset over the top to talk into and talk to
people.

3) The final one is a mix of both and I'm not sure if it even works, you connect your headset with the mic bit in the controller and the headphone audio into the TV headphone socket then change the 360 settings to play voice chat etc through the speakers
which as you have the headphone plugged in should put the sound through the headphone to you.

I am having the same issue. I can hear stuff, but my voice chat does not work. I have gone through two Xbox One x/s controllers. Both have had the 3.5 mm headphone issues. Why this keeps happening is it a flaw no one has talked about?

I am over having this issue with no real support from Xbox/Microsoft.
