  1. Is there a way to improve the Microphone quality for the Starfield Limited Edition Headset?


    Hi, everyone. I recently ordered and received the Limited Edition Starfield Wireless Headset and I have a small issue. Everything is fine for the most part, there's no physical damage, and the sound coming through the headset is fantastic, BUT, when I'm in an Xbox Party Chat with my friends, (On my Series X) they have noticed that (although it's not terrible) the microphone on this headset sounds significantly lower quality than the Headset I was using before, which was the HyperX Cloud Wired Headset. My friends are saying the quality is comparable to talking through a "metal tube".

    I have looked through the accessory settings on my Xbox Series X and checked for a firmware update, and nothing seems to fix it. Is there a way to make the mic sound better to my friends? I would hate to have a subpar microphone when everything else is great, especially since I spent over $100 on this headset.

    Thanks for the help

    -Avery D. "Gamebread"

    Hello Gamebread Avery D.

    Thank you for sharing your concern here in Xbox Community Forum and we hope that all is well.

    Based on the description, you are sharing concern about what you have experienced with sound quality of the microphone of the headset you are using during party chat. Let us check on this together and sort this out. Rest assured that we will provide related information on how to resolve your concern.

    If we may ask, have you use the Xbox accessories app in your Xbox console to adjust equalizer settings, bass boost, and mic monitoring to control how much of your voice that you hear in the headset? If not yet, here is how to use the Xbox accessories app:

    • Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories. If you don’t already have the Accessories app installed on your PC or mobile device, you can get it at: Xbox.com/accessories-app
    The Xbox Wireless Headset needs to be powered on and connected to your console or device in order to update its settings in the Accessories app. Depending on how many accessories are connected to your console or device at the time, you may need to scroll left or right to bring up the headset configuration screen.

    When you find the Headset screen in the Accessories app, select Configure to open the headset settings menu.

    For your reference, see: Set up and configure your Xbox Wireless Headset | Xbox Support

    Additionally, if you are not satisfied with the outcome and found it as quality issue of the device, we will raise the concern to our Xbox Team engineer so that they can roll out an improvement with the quality on their next release.

    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



    Sincerely,

    Starfield limited edition headset chat mixer not working

    follow these steps

    To restore the settings of a limited edition Starfield headset, the main thing to do is to reset the headset and, if necessary, force an update through the Xbox.

    1. Reset the Headset:

    Press and hold the mute button and the power button simultaneously for about 15 seconds.

    This process will force a reset of the headset, and then you can reconnect it and check if the Starfield sounds have been restored.

    2. Force Update on Xbox (if applicable):

    Connect the headset to the Xbox.

    Go to Settings > Devices and Connections > Controllers and Headsets.

    Locate the connected headset and click on the options menu (three dots) below Configure.

    Even if it says "No update available", press the A button on this message to force the update.

    After the update, the Starfield theme sounds should be restored

    Hello, I hope you are well.

    Please try these psssod.

    If your Starfield Limited Edition headset's chat mixer is not working, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try. First, make sure your headset is properly connected to your console or PC. Next, make sure your microphone volume is not muted and that your console or PC's audio settings are correctly configured to output to your headset. If the issue persists, try clearing your console's alternate MAC address or reinstalling your headset driver.

    Step-by-step guide to troubleshooting:

    1. Check the connection:

    Make sure your headset is properly connected to your console or PC and that the cable (if applicable) is inserted correctly.

    2. Check your microphone volume:

    Access your console or PC's audio settings and make sure your microphone volume is not muted and is set correctly.

    3. Check your audio output settings:

    Make sure your console or PC’s audio output settings are correctly configured to output to your headset.
