    In Split-Screen, both players get all game audio when using headset adapter


    Albert Penello mentioned this in an interview a few weeks ago:

    Q: How does the adapter handle split screen multiplayer audio?

    A: It supports separate audio streams for single player multiplayer. Each player can hear
    their own chat and audio through their controller.

    -----

    When playing call of duty in split-screen I hear all of the game sound from the other player along with my own when using the headset adapter. This was one of the main reasons I purchased the adapter. This means that while we're in different parts of a map
    I can hear footsteps and gunshots from the other split-screen player's game.

    Does anyone know if this is a known issue?

    :)

    Xbox One Chat Adapter - Split Screen Games

    I regularly play split screen games with friends. One bugbear of mine is that the audio for both players is combined, making it almost impossible to make sense of the soundscape.

    So, I tried buying the new headset adapter for the XB1. I'm using it with some standard Shure earbuds (so no chat) and sound quality is great.

    I was hoping that split screen games would be able to send separate audio for each player to each handset.

    Tried it with COD Ghosts last week, and got the mixed audio for both players being sent to my headset!!!

    Is this game specific, or will all headsets receive the game audio for all split screen players? Does anyone know.. as I can't seem to get an answer from anyone!?

    Does the new audio adapter allow games that do local split-screen to also support split audio for each player?

    Split screen games are one of my main-stay game types on my Xbox One.

    One of the most difficult aspects of playing a split screen is not the reduced size and resolution, but the mixed audio for all players.

    Does the new audio adapter for the Xbox One controller allow games to send split audio to each player?

  4. In Split-Screen, both players get all game audio when using headset adapter

    The question is how did COD set this up...normally split screen doesn't split sound for right and left speakers.

    I think its working as intended by COD.

    You're taking his reply out of context, each player will hear their own chat and audio doesn't mean each player will hear only what on their side of the screen.

    That would require two consoles.

    Xbox One Chat Adapter - Split Screen Games

    Hey there EasyTarget197!

    What you are experiencing is not game specific. Split screen audio for split screen games is not an available feature on the Xbox One. What this means is that all headsets playing a split screen game will receive combined audio.

    Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with and we will be standing by.

    XBOX One Chat Adapter & Turtle Beach Issue

    Actually the chat adapter that they are selling as of today does send both game audio and chat audio. There are even two buttons on the adapter itself that you can use to adjust the game audio vs chat audio percentage. The new Polk headset and the two
    new Turtle Beach X1 headsets get all game and chat audio through the new stereo headset adapter that was released today.

    I imagine that your modified version of the adapter is actually a much better solution for 3rd party headset users, because it was modified off of the chat microphone and adapter that came with the X1. It was designed to just deliver chat audio back and
    forth.

    Now that Microsoft has gone down the road of both game and chat audio coming through the controller and adapter, it has changed the playing field. It is great if you use a headset that doesn't have any other audio signal coming to your headset.

    Also, I did look through the link above. It is where I got the idea to turn game audio to 0% and chat audio to 100% coming through the adapter. Thanks for the idea though.

    Turtle Beach X42 and the Xbox one

    I have the TB X42 and just purchased the XB1 chat adapter and it's junk. First, my voice breaks up when talking any louder than normal. Second and most importantly the adapter apperantly plays it's own game audio through the headset even with the volume
    turned all the way down on the headset. If you turn down your headset and use the audio from the headset it sounds awful. When using the headset audio ether the adapter audio turned down you can't here your friends in chat. Then when turning up the chat volume
    to fix that issue it plays both audio signals at the same time whitch creats a very bad echo. The X42 is great. Love it. The XB1 adapter? It's garbage.

    the newer 3.5mm controller

    The chat headset is designed to only give you chat audio, and leave game audio coming through your television.

    Any other headset will give you both game and chat audio through the headset, whether you use the new controller or the older version with the headset adapter.
