I CAN HEAR BUT I CAN NOT TALK THREW MY HEADSET ( I have the original Xbox one mic)

My mic doesn't appear to be working on my Xbox One Stereo headset. Interesting are you by chance in the Xbox One preview program buckeye?

Hi DZ0,

When you say "the mic is fully functioning", have your been able to double check by trying the headset with another device like a cell phone? Also, something else to check; When you have the headset plugged into the controller the Xbox should automatically
recognize a compatible headset. And, in doing so it automatically makes Headset volume, Headset chat volume and Mic monitoring available right at > All settings (kind of cool isn't it). At the top of the list of headset controls you will see Headset mic Off/On
. Make sure Headset mic is set to On . Lets us know if you continue to have problems with your microphone or headset.

Good luck and good gaming,

I have had the same issue recently. My stock headset still seems to be working fine, but NO THIRD PARTY HEADSET WORKS. Let me re-phrase that. I can usually hear others in the ear piece, but the mic is not working at all. This is the case regardless of what
controller I plug it into, and regardless of whether I plug it in directly via 3.5mm jack or via the headset adapter. The headset (in this case Turtle Beach Recon 30x) and mic work fine if, say, I plug it into my phone to use. However, mic is non-functioning
on the Xbox One. I can hear and chat via Kinect just fine (though quality is terrible). And like I said I can still use the stock headset. In trying to troubleshoot with Turtle Beach, they said there have been reported issues with the New Xbox One Experience
dashboard and third party headsets. Yet another bug in the NXOE! Judas Priest it has been a horrible experience.

Anyway, I am about to return this headset, not because it is nonfunctioning, but rather that the Xbox One is nonfunctioning with IT.

Any ideas, folks?

Microsoft, what is the deal here?

Found out that I can hear game and chat if I plug my headset into the 3.5mm splitter (converts headset and mic 3.5mm 3 position into single 4 position). But then I lose surround sound and the audio through the chat adapter sounds horrible when compared to
it being plugged into the DSS. Not to mention the frequent popping noises from the chat adapter.

Why can I not chat using the single 3.5mm mic cable? Why does it have to be such a hassle?

You don't say what kind of headset it is but I had the same issue with my Turtle Beach Stealth 500X.

Turns out the USB hub I put between the transmitter and the xbox was the culprit.

When I connected the transmitter directly to the Xbox, whalla.... mic worked again.
