  1. Input/Output Device Selection for Xbox


    I have a third-party wired controller and a third-party wireless headset, both made specifically for Xbox. But my Xbox defaults the controller as the default input device instead of the headset, which makes my game chat not work.

    Can Microsoft add a feature where Xbox users can select which device should be used for input and output?

    Side note: Even when I change the input/output device to my headset in a game’s settings (i.e. Call of Duty) it still doesn’t work.

    Playing games on Xbox using Bluetooth headphones on PC degrades sound quality

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this Aishoo72

    Please try this to see if the audio quality improves:

    "Format" for your Microphone in the sound settings for your input device?

    Go to your Settings
    Navigate to Bluetooth & devices
    Select Devices
    Scroll down to Related settings and select Sound
    Select your audio Output device under output.

    In the next menu, you should see Format under Input settings. Select an audio format that's no higher than 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)

    Try checking if the issue persists.
    If that doesn't work, try adjusting the audio format by repeating the steps above to verify if any other format works.

    If that doesn't work, please try this (can be a bit odd but worth it)
    Open Xbox Game Bar > Go to Audio widget > Select the Voice
    Change Windows default input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    Change Default communications input and output to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

    Scroll down to More Settings > Xbox Party Chat
    Change Audio output and input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

    Verify that push to talk is not enabled

    Finally open the Xbox app

    Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the page
    Select Settings > Audio
    Set your default Input device and output device to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    Verify that push to talk is not enabled again

    Please also double check if you have audio enhancements enabled, if yes disable it.

    You can follow this quick tutorial:

    Hope you're doing great today despite this TRIGGERLEWY

    Depending on your audio card - model the experience with Bluetooth devices may vary.

    But let’s try to isolate the problem a bit more, for this try:
    "Format" for your input and output device in the sound settings for your input device?

    Go to your Settings > Navigate to Bluetooth & devices
    Select Devices > Scroll down to Related settings and select Sound
    Select your audio input device under Input.

    In the next menu, you should see Format under Input / output settings. Select an audio format that's no higher than 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)
    Try joining a party in the Game Bar or the Xbox app to verify whether or not the changes solved the issue. If that doesn't work, try adjusting the audio format by repeating the steps above to verify if any other format works.

    ——

    If that doesn’t work try this

    Open Xbox Game Bar > Go to Audio widget > Select the Voice
    Change Windows default input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    Change Default communications input and output to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

    Scroll down to More Settings > Xbox Party Chat
    Change Audio output and input to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.

    Verify that push to talk is not enabled

    Finally open the Xbox app

    Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the page
    Select Settings > Audio
    Set your default Input device and output device to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    Verify that push to talk is not enabled again

    Please also double check if you have audio enhancements enabled, if yes disable it.
