How can I make my Xbox controller use my pc as a connection and not just a power source.

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello LiTTle_CoMi, if you want to reverse the firmware of your control follow the procedures of the link below.

My Xbox controller has connection issues after the last update

However, have you tried trying another USB-C cable or uninstalling the USB drivers from your PC and installing again?

Also keep in mind that the controller only started having issues right after I connected it to my Xbox for the first time. Now it only wants to connect that way instead of just a wired connection.

I haven't tried a different cable with this controller specifically but with previous controllers that were having the same problem I did try that. I have now found out that my controller is only searching for power no matter where I plug it in, so I couldn't reset the firmware because it said that it needed to be connected via USB, and it wouldn't connect via usb on both my computer and my xbox.

Other have added all the information you will need to troubleshoot this.. but I want to add/ask are you using the UBS cable to power the controller or batteries?

The reason I ask is I have had an issue in the past where my batteries were dead and has no other source but the plug and cable to continue playing. I used a wall plug and cable. Once I tried to turn on the controller it would just keep blinking and would
not connect. Went to the store and bought batteries and it worked fine. This also happened when I plugged the cable into my pc as a power source. The xbox would not recognize the Controller.

If you are using batteries then I doubt this is the issue you are having.

Not sure why you're going out of your way for your son's 11 year old friend and accepting that pickiness but a simple answer for you is no, the Razer Seiren X Microphone can not be used with Xbox One, only PC. To my knowledge you can't use a standalone
Microphone on Xbox One, only Headsets. Contrary to what others have commented the USB on the Xbox one is not strictly for charging Xbox One Controllers either, it is a power source and not an audio source like on a PC. You can plug in things that take USB
power such as yes charging a controller but for example I have my external Hard Drive plugged into there, an RGB headset and it powers my Astro Mixamp. Either get your son's friend a Headset with a good Mic (Logitech makes one with a B!UE Microphone) or consider
switching to PC gaming if the USB Mic is that important.
