How do I check if my mic is working in BF4?

It works like a reg mic yes, but it will pick up all sounds in uts area so bong hits are a must, i wave my junk at it every once in awile so anyone spying knows what i think of em

Are you saying you can use the kinect to talk to your squad mates that are not in an xbox live party with you?

if I play both thu speakers (game audio and party chat) when I plug in the mic party goes there

the problem is if you plug in the included headset to your controller, it''s going automatically relegate all chat to that channel, sending and receiving ...when you don't have a mic plugged in, it relegates chat receiving to the same audio channel as game
sound, i.e. you hear chat on your TV, speakers, or headset but the kinnect is the mic...but a as you plug something into the cotroller, then both sending and receiving chat is relegated there, so you no longer hear chat on your TV, speakers or premium headset

Ive been wearing my TBs for the sound, but I cant "chat" because of no mic. Maybe plugging the Xbone headset into the controller and wearing that around my neck (for the mic) would now allow "chat"?
