    I've been having trouble with my mic not working properly on one of my controllers. I figured out that my controller was the reason why my mic sounded bad. I tried to connect my mic with a better working controller and I couldn't talk. I looked at all the
    settings and couldn't find an solution. I think the mic is linked to the other bad controller in some way.

    Hi,

    is it an Xbox Official Headset (or Stereo Headset) or a third-party one? Do you use an adaptor or do use the 3,5mm jack on the controller?

    What headset are you using?

    Be aware that there are two standards of headset plugs called CTIA and OMTP. On both standards, the Microphone and ground connector on that plug are reversed.

    For a headset to work properly, the headset connector has to be a CTIA standard plug. If your headset is a phone headset (e.g. Apple or some older Android or Nokia compatible headsets), then they use the OMTP standard, and won't work properly.

    If you do have an OMTP compatible headset, simply buy a CTIA to OMTP adapter (or since the adapter simply crosses two wires, it is automatically an OMTP to CTIA adapter as well). Also, since the adapter only crosses two wires, these adapters should be dirt
    cheap. If a store asks you to pay for this adapter more than you'd pay for a Coffee to Go, you're being ripped off.

    Xbox one can hear but cannot talk

    Hey there Crzbby,

    Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with your friends not hearing you.

    I recommend taking a look at the following troubleshooting articles:


    If the problem persists:

    • Try your Headset with another device, such as a laptop, to see if the headset is working.
    • Try using a Headset Adapter for compatibility issues.
    • Try your Headset on another controller, if you can. If the headset works on the second controller, try
      updating the first controlleragain.

    Try this out and let us know the results.

    Astro A50's not working in party chat or game chat on Backwards Compatible games

    My headset works on the Xbox one just not on backwards compatible games plus my Headset is completely wireless so i can't even try any of that. I think it's the Astro A50's like ArminatorX said about the base station being a USB
    microphone. I'm just going to have to get another headset to use on backwards Compatible games one that actually connects to the controller like Astro A40's or something similar.
