I can't hear game chat in my Wireless Headset, but party chat works, why?

My headset only works in party chat. When I'm playing other games I can see that people are talking but I can't hear them and they can't hear me. It only works in party chat.

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 ****** T,

I'm Nilay and I'll be glad to answer your query today.

Please try the following steps:

Try updating the wireless controller from https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/update-xbox-wireless-controller here.

If you have a stereo headset adapter, plug it into the bottom of your controller so it can also get updates.
If you're using a stereo headset adapter, plug in a headset (a headset must be plugged in so the adapter will turn on).
Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, select Profile & system > Settings > Devices & streaming > Accessories, and then select the controller you want to update.
On the Xbox Wireless Controller screen, select “…” to check the firmware version for your controller.
If it says “Update,” select Firmware version, and then follow the steps provided.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck
Regards

That's why I would also like to know about receivers, as with my computer being able to use my wireless accessories with that receiver I can't see why the console can't.

Your receiver should work. meaning you can still hear through your headsets. but with no bluetooth support on Xbox One and incompatible chat connector you will not be able to chat or hear chat through your current headsets.

I can't hear anybody through my TB XO One headset, but they can hear me. Game chat is fine, but in party chat it doesn't work. It shows me speaking when I speak, and my friends tell me they can hear me, and if I unplug the headset, I can hear people speaking
through the TV speakers.

The fact that game chat still works proves that it's Microsoft's software, not my headset, adapter, Xbox or controller.
