How can I get my GAME CHAT on Fortnite to come though both headphones and speakers?

Hi there da panduhh,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is a question with streaming and game chat. Using a capture card will record everything coming in from the connection to your Streamlabs OBS. I recommend reaching out to

Streamlabs OBS support for more assistance.

Give that a try and let us know the results.

Why isn't there an option on to have the chat audio come through TV speakers, headphones, or both like there was on the las XBOX. Seems like a very poor decision to get rid of those options. I want the chat audio coming through my television and headseat
like I used to do with the XBOX360. How is there no fix for this yet?

Hi there,

When the audio headphones are plugged into the AV receiver, there is game sound, but I cant hear anyone in my party chat. I only see their gamertag show up in the chat overlay. They hear me thru the stream mic just fine. In Halo 5, setting audio to Speaker,
or to Headphones doesnt change anything.

If I plug the headphones into the Turtle Beach stream mic, its onboard amplifier does a decent job driving the audio headphones, since the stream mic is powered via USB, but the amplifier is low quality by comparison to my AV receiver. I only got the stream
mic so I could use my AV receiver to listen to my audio headphones in online gaming. I never expected or planned on using it to power the headphones.

Can I even can plug the Sennheiser game headphones into the AV receiver and the Mic into the controller now? If this stream mic is already connected to the XBOX via USB, and chat is only available when the headphones are connected into the stream mic and
both run to the XBOX wired via USB, is it correct to assume that PC gaming headphones with a built in mic also cannot be split (the mic connected to the controller and chat sound coming through the AV receiver)? Im starting to think both the headphones and
the mic must be connected to the controller together, communicating to the XBOX wirelessly, or ill just get game sound through the headphones and no chat like I am niw with this set up?

Hydro, Microsoft used to make a great wireless chat headset for the 360 they NEED to make one for the Xbox One. This was one of many steps backwards for the Xbox One. I have a couple of grand invested in speakers and my receiver I WANT TO USE THEM not
some over priced headphones. The chat headset that comes with the One is garbage which doesn't help. I just had to buy my fourth this week since launch and that's with almost a year of using crazy expensive Turtle Beach headphone that have cracked on both
sides.

I can guarantee you that this issue is frustrating enough to me that I won't even consider getting another Xbox unless there is a wireless chat headset at launch.

Thank you for your reply.

No, I don't use discord at all.

Today I have also tried resetting my xbox settings and uninstalling then reinstalling fortnite.

There seems to be an issue with my Wireless headphones - only when playing fortnite.

The headphones work playing other games on the xbox, and fortnite party chat will work if I plug in wired headphones.
