    I really want XBOX to be at the center of my TV/Audio control but its just not working ...


    I have to be doing something wrong or maybe its just not ready yet. Trying to use Xbox to watch TV has been nothing short of painful. Dont get me wrong, I have it so when it comes on my TV starts that part is easy and great that it powers everything on without
    issue. I can actually watch TV but after that it gets bad. Many times "Xbox on" or "Xbox Volume up" or "Xbox go home" ETC.. does not work consistently unless the room is just really really quiet and even then its iffy (tried moving and seeting up Kinect multiple
    times). If the Direct TV box powers off then back on then in-order to get signal back I have to power-cycle the Xbox. Voice commands just are not reliable enough to use every day. Using gestures is to slow and hard to use every day as well. I tried to make
    things better buy buying the xbox remote thinking this will fix everything if I don't use voice commands and gestures. The issue there is there isn't a "previous station" button and when you bring up the guide it starts at the lowest channel. With Direct TV
    its a pain in the but to have to scroll though 300 channels to get to the channel I am on without number buttons. The issue is once the TV is on it not easy to do anything. Playing games, watching Amazon movies, etc work great but the TV feature just does
    not seem to be ready for prime time. Before I remove it as the hub of all my media, Am I doing something wrong? I have moved Kinect, adjusted settings, and nothing really seems to make watching TV easy or even reliable. I always have to end up grabbing the
    direct TV remote to switch between channels and use the Direct TV guide once the TV is up and running. Am I doing something wrong here?

    :)

    Xbox 360 not working on my vizio tv --No HDMI

    My Xbox 360 was working just fine with my TV, I had to unhook everything because I was moving. Literally just a couple of hours that my xbox and tv were not connected. Now trying to hook my xbox back up to my tv and I get the "no signal" sign. Everything
    is hooked up the exact same way it was at my old house, I have no idea why its not working now. Xbox turns on, sounds like it runs fine, and the tv is on the correct channel. No HDMI, so just running standard audio/video cables that came with my xbox. Any
    suggestions on what happened and how it can be fixed?

    Media Center LIVE TV support?

    I have a Windows 7 media center PC set up with my Xbox One. While it works in terms of feeding the TV into the Xbox One video app, the "integration" doesn't really work well. Effectively, for me, the OneGuide is pretty useless since Media Center needs to
    be on live TV for the channel changing capabilities to work. If it's on any other screen (start, recorded TV, guide, etc.) it won't change the channel properly.

    I'm just treating the media center as its own "app" and when I'm watching live TV I pick up my Harmony remote. Then I use voice or xbox controller to switch to other apps, etc. within the Xbox One.

    Is there any way to play chat through "headset and television" like on the 360?

    I really hope Microsoft sees this thread and updates the Xbox One's audio settings so that your own voice comes through both the tv speakers and the headset. As a new Youtuber I am very disappointed that I cannot record my own voice on my videos without
    splitting and splicing wires from my headset and controller so that my voice is transmitted through my tv speakers and recorded along with my game and party chat audio from friends. I am using an Elgato Game Capture Card and it only records audio that comes
    through your tv speakers. Since the Xbox One only allows my voice to come through my headset and not my tv speakers I am unable to record my own voice. So this method of splitting wires and using the Kinect microphone causes a reduced quality and an increased
    echo to my voice audio, making my videos have an overall horrible sound to them. By having my voice audio go through both my headset and tv speakers I would be able to record my voice with good quality. If Microsoft truly cares about it's consumers and making
    the Xbox One an "all in one" media center with social media support then it really needs to make the change in allowing players to have their voice chat audio go through both the headset and tv speakers in its next update.

    Headset audio fix

    Hi, I have a headphone with a green cable (audio) and pink cable (microphone), and I have a 3-pin converter for both of them so they work together, but when I plug them in my Xbox One S controller, the audio is still coming from the TV and not in
    the headphones, also when I go to the controller accessories, it says the headset is connected but says "Not assigned" under the controller tab please help me quickly!
    Please give a fix quickly as I want to record/stream in my Xbox.
    Hey, have you checked the audio settings to ensure you have the audio on headset and not tv?

    Xbox One Stereo Headset issues and questions

    If you have a question or problem using the Xbox One Stereo Headset, see the following topics.

    Stereo Headset isn’t working

    If your Xbox One Stereo Headset isn’t functioning correctly, check the following:

    • Have you
      updated your controller’s software
      to support the Stereo Headset Adapter?
    • Make sure your controller has fresh batteries. When the batteries get weak, some controller functions, such as audio and rumble, are turned off to conserve the remaining power.
    • Make sure your Headset Adapter is firmly plugged into your controller and that your Stereo Headset’s 3.5-mm cable is securely plugged into the Headset Adapter. You will know it’s plugged in properly if you press the mute button and the LED lights up.
    • Try your Xbox One Stereo Headset with another device, such as a laptop, to see if the headset is working. If not, the headset will need to be replaced. To order a replacement, go to the
      Xbox Online Service Center .
    • Try your Stereo Headset and Stereo Headset Adapter on another controller, if you can. If the headset works on the second controller, try

      updating the first controller
      again. If that fails, the controller will need to be replaced. To order a replacement, go to the
      Xbox Online Service Center .
    There’s too much game or chat audio

    If you have both game and chat audio plugged into the adapter, use the Game balance or Chat balance button to get more of the desired audio type.

    Can I have chat through my Kinect as well as my headset?

    No. When a headset is detected, the console assumes you want that audio to be private and automatically turns off Kinect chat audio.

    I also hear audio through my TV

    The Stereo Headset Adapter doesn’t know if you’re using your headset just for chat or for all audio, so TV audio is not automatically muted when you’re using the adapter. You must manually adjust your TV audio volume.

    Your Stereo Headset is broken

    If your Xbox One Stereo Headset is broken, it should be replaced. To order a replacement, go to the
    Xbox Online Service Center.
