How to control audio on the new xbox one controllers?

MorenoMdz · Jan 19, 2016

Yes we can control the audio, mute the mic etc from the side panel, but I do need a quick way to mute my mic while playing without leaving the game, is there a set of buttons or something that will change the audio settings on the new controllers or should
I just go back to the stereo adapter? I will be very displeased and disapointed if the new controller offer no way of quick mute the audio. For real.

New Microsoft Controller

Looks like a new controller with a "35mm audio jack" is coming soon

HyperX Cloud headet --> DSS/DSS2 amp --> Xbox One S system and control chat audio?

I haven't been able to find a clear answer for this. I have not set up my new Xbox One S yet, and I am unfamiliar with the controller, as in I do not have one in hand. I have not owned a Xbox One original either (only a XB360 and XB), so I have never used
the headset stereo adapter. It seems that the DSS/DSS2 love has gone out the window and they are not even made anymore. I intend to use the optical to DSS for the audio. 1. To control chat volume in-game, I would need a MS stereo headset adapter correct? Would
the adapter make the audio control box that comes with the HyperxX Cloud unnecessary? If so, to hook up my DSS and control chat volume in-game, I just need to connect the mic from the HyperX to the stereo headset adapter, and the audio from the HyperX to the
DSS and be done with it? This controls chat colume with the control and audio volume with the DSS/DSS2? 2A. To control chat and audio volume close to the controller (chat on stereo headset apapter and audio on HyperX Cloud attachable audio control box), I
send the mic from the control box to the stereo headset adapter, and the audio from the control box to the DSS/DSS2 2B. Same as 1, except add a volume control cable inline and tie it up because of the extra length, between the audio control box and the 3.5mm
jack on the controller (NO headset adapter) Would these three options work?

Only way would be get the Chatpad or a Stereo Adapter. This is the only way to control all that from the controller.

Here is how I understand the whole headset compatability works (maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong):

GAME AUDIO

If your headset gets the game audio via a box linked to your gaming machine via optic audio out - this audio will continue to work as designed, as the xbox One has optic out as well.

CHAT AUDIO

If your headset gets the chat audio via a direct bluetooth wireless link to the xbox360 machine - then this headset will not work with chat audio on the xbox One.

If your headset gets the chat audio wireless via a bluetooth puck that plugs into the 360 controller (not a direct wireless link to the gaming machine) -then this may work with the xbox One depending on how the forthcoming adapter works with next gen controllers.

If your headset gets the chat audio via a cable directly connected to your xbox360 controller - then this may work on the xbox One depending on how the upcoming adapter works with the xbox One controller.

On the Accessories app when I select Audio the levels have been altered. As i said to get decent audio from my headphones i need to have the controller audio and in game controller audio set to 100%. This suggests either an issue with the headphones [where
there was none before with regular xbox one controllers] or something with how the elite 2 handles audio. Can it be anything else?

Hello I am sorry your controller is not working, does your controller have a built in audio jack or an adapter? If it is the internal audio jack you can contact xbox support here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/accessories/wireless-controller-broken-wont-work
to see if you can repair or replace your controller. Sometimes its just as expensive as buying a new one though so you'll just have to find out how much it is. If its an adapter you can simply buy a new one and see if that works better, most stores have adapters
for sale and they are fairly cheap.

For xbox one controllers and xbox series controllers

by bluetooth if your pc has this (does not support audio passthrough so no headest support via controller).

by wire (this supports audio passthough for headsets via controller)

by purchasing the xbox wireless adapter for pc (this supports audio passthough for headsets via controller)
