I bought a new controller but now it doesn't let me change my mic monitoring

Edrik C. · Dec 12, 2022

My new controller has a button to change the volume and the chat mixer. But in the xbox menu says "Use your headset or other device to change the volume" but since my controller cant actually change mic monitoring, people cant hear me and I dont know what to do

:)

In my wireless controller I can change that, but this one is not a wireless controller, i'll probably figure it out some day.

Thanks and have a nice day

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Please check if there is an update for your controller by following the steps below:

"1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & streaming > Accessories, and then select the controller you want to update.

2. On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select “…” to check the firmware version for your controller.

3. If it says “Update,” select Firmware version, and then follow the steps provided."

Also, have you tried other controller and check if it will work just fine?

It may mean that the issue is with your wired controller, have you tried to check if there is an update for the specific controller that you're having an issue with?

Id love a response to this. im on 4 controllers (all official microsoft xb1 controllers) and three headsets (two turtle beach and one Microsoft stereo headset ) Console is up to date, a first gen controller up to date. A 2nd gen controller that i bought.
And 2 brand new controllers that came with my one x.... All also with updated firmware. All headset functions work properly on all combos except for mic monitoring . Monitoring is on and set to 10. I can chat and hear game sound but cant hear myself through
mic monitoring unless the mic is shoved down my throat. This is getting very frustrating for my household and friends I play with when i end up yelling. Please. Help.

I'm having these problems aswell... I can hear fine but no one can hear me. My mic worked for the first month and now it stopped working. I've bought a Turtle Beach FOUR OX with Stereo Adapter and this one doesn't work aswell... So i bought a new controller
and not one of my headsets work on any controller. Anyone got any idea? I've tried connecting Microsoft but ofcourse.. No help..
