  1. Issue with Xbox Party Chat: Friends Can't Hear Me


    Hi everyone,

    I'm experiencing an issue with Xbox Party Chat where my friends are unable to hear me. I've checked my microphone settings, and everything seems to be in order on my end. I've tried using different headsets, and I've also ensured that my NAT type is open.

    I've restarted my console and even re-installed the app, but the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Issue with Xbox Party Chat: Friends Can't Hear Me

    Hi Paolina,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues using the party chat feature of Xbox. As part of our troubleshooting, please check if your Xbox settings are properly configured. These communication settings can be adjusted to limit who you want to chat with.

    1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, and then go to Profile & system.

    2. Select Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox privacy > View details & customise.

    3. Select Communication & multiplayer, and then review the settings for the following to make sure that they are set to Friends or Everyone:

    Others can communicate with voice, text, or invites

    You can communicate outside of Xbox with voice & text

    You can use video for communications

    If you want to learn more about configuring your settings, go to:

    https://support.xbox.com/help/family-online-saf...

    Note: If you're connected to a Discord voice channel on your Xbox console, your party chat status will say “Discord” and the name of the voice channel that you're in. If you want to join or start an Xbox party chat, disconnect from the Discord voice channel so that you can switch over to game or party chat. To learn more about using Discord voice chat while on the Xbox network, go to:

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Xbox One Stereo Headset Mic Not Working for Party Chat

    I can't chat in party or game with oem chat headset and i recently purchased the headset adapter and the official xbox stereo headset, same problem. I can hear people in party and game chat, yet they can't hear me.

    My controller is updated.

    I first had this issue during the titanfall beta...in a match, everything's good, i can hear friends and they can hear me, out of the blue they can't hear me anymore. Hasn't worked since.

    I've tried everything, no effect. My new controller arrives today. maybe it's a controller issue. I'll let everyone know.

    I was preview program as well.

    Cannot speak in party/in-game chat. But can hear everyone through headset.

    In parties/chats I can hear my friends but my friends can't hear me, this happened after a 2 week ban... And this headset works on my brother's profile on the same console (one). So it's not a headset issue, it's a profile issue. Please help!! Thanks
