In game Vs party volume

ItsRelativity · Apr 11, 2019

The in chat headset audio is still too loud. I have moved the bar for game / party chat all the way to game volume as far as i can without cutting party chat out completely and i cant hear a thing in game. Footsteps and general in game audio is hard to
hear while in party chat its too loud. If i move the bar further to the left it will be only game volume and wont be able to hear chat. Is there a way you can add extra sensitivity bars to enable finer tweaking to the volume as this is becoming very frustrating
and an unenjoyable experience. Thanks.

Could you use the in game chat feature, would that make a difference?

Or are you talking to people in different lobbies or that are playing different games?]

I know it's not an answer, but more of a possible work around.

Hi no its definitely not a headset issue as i can only change the overall volume and reducing that only maked the in game volume even harder to hear. I am tryig to just reduce party volume but cant reduce it further without it being muted completely.

this was one of my biggest problems with my older headset, so when upgraded them I make sure the new headset had volume control for both game sound and chat sound

Hi
ItsRelativity,

The chat mixer slider is not necessarily an amplifier but rather what it does is it adjusts the audio feed your headset receives all the way from the source game engine and the audio feed from Xbox Live for the multiplayer party chat. So you can visualize
it like the center of the slider is valued at 0 or neutral, and each end of the spectrum is 100% for each respective audio feed. The information your headset receives with this information is then transmitted as audible sound and the quality of that sound
is based on the specs of your headset. For example, a surround sound headset with Dolby Digital or Dolby Atmos for headphones will be able to mix the sounds better so that one is not louder than the other drowning out that quality compared to a standard stereo
headset. Most of the high quality surround sound headsets also connect via HDMI or optical input through an adapter/receiver directly into the Xbox and not into the controller so the sound is clearer due to the better sound engineering in HDMI and optical
cables compared to 3.5mm audio through the controller.

Xbox can work to improve sound mixing in general through the hardware in the console to possibly include finer tweaking but most of that is left to the sound engineers for headsets. Sound always improves with the newer consoles so if you have any ideas for
Xbox I recommend going over to
Xbox Ideas and making a post!
