How to change Party chat to come through TV and Headset??

Hello Barry,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you have a question on how to change chat to not come through your TV. First if there is no headset plugged into the controller, it will automatically come through the TV. If there is a headset yo need
to go to settings>general>Volume & audio output>change party chat output to headset.

Thanks,

Brad

You need to go into your chat and party settings, you probably have the game or party audio playing through the TV as well as the headset. Mute your TV or change the settings. If you need me to further elaborate on how to change the settings let me know

If using headset for game audio and chat, mute the TV or any device your game and chat audio is coming through and make sure 'chat' is set to output through headset only. If you have your tv volume up in the background while you're on the headset there
will probably be echoing especially if you have your party audio set to output through your TV.

Not game audio, game chat.

In settings, Xbox has an option to make party chat output go through your headset, headset and TV, or TV.

but that's only for party chat. i've always wondered why xbox can't do the same for in-game chat too?

With in game chat, if your headset is plugged in; game chat automatically goes to the headset, with no option to have it output through TV.

really sucks when you can't wear headsets, you can't play socially outside of parties. (in party chat; i use my headset mic, but have their voice output through my TV. game chat has no option to do this, you must wear your headset to hear teammates)

Hello Teroknor,

It sounds likely that in Settings you have party chat audio to come out through both speakers and headset. To change this, go to Settings > Display & Sound > Volume > Party Chat Output.

Change that option to 'headset only' and now try again.

Let us know how you get on.
