Just let the party chat go through the TV speakers

Dr Scrubbington · Nov 6, 2015

I don't know why this hasn't been done after two years, but please just add an option to make Xbox Live party chat go through the TV speakers WITHOUT a Kinect. This would make everything a hundred times simpler when it comes to trying to record party chat
with a capture card, such as the Elgato. Instead of daisy-chaining a pile of wires together just to get the capture card to pick up the party chat, why not just allow the voice to go through the TV and headset, like you could do on the 360? Clearly the chat
is able to go through the TV speakers, seeing as how it does that with the use of a Kinect or if your mic is unplugged, so why not just let us do that whenever we want? It would help many amateur game recorders get into recording Xbox multiplayer gameplay
more. I hope they're at least looking into this, because it makes no sense to me how it hasn't been done yet.

Change the Output of Party-Chat from Xbox-Headset to TV-Speakers

How can I change the output of the party chat from the Xbox-Headset to my TV-Speakers? On the Xbox 360 I was able to change this with pressing the Xbox Guide Button and go to Settings -> Chat Settings, where I can choose between the Output through the Headset,
TV-Speakers or Both.

Where are these Settings now on the Xbox One?! I just want to use my Astro Mixamp. And cause of your delayed Microphone-Adapters I need to put the Xbox-Headset arround my neck but as soon as I connect my headset with the controller the output of the party
chat goes through the Xbox-Headset and not through the TV-Speakers/Astro Mixamp..

Can somebody help? Sorry, for poor english...

Is there a work around for...

Here's the deal. I'm using a third party wired controller that does not have the headphone/ chat connection port. For right now, I don't want/ need the ability to chat. I also do not have "Kinect". I just want to use the wired controller and have the game
sounds come through my TV speakers. What I don't want is to hear everyone else chatting through my TV speakers. I tried going to settings > preferences but there isn't a "headphone only" chat option. I also don't see any "friends only" options in Privacy.
I would like to just play online with the third party wired controller and not hear others chatting through my TV speakers. Any ideas? Thanks

These sliders don't seem to be there. I would just like to adjust the party chat volume like I would on my controller, but through my TV speakers.

i think you have to have each profile in the party for the chat to go through the headset through the controller. Otherwise you can route party audio through the TV and if you had a kinect use the speaker from that. Or have the 2nd player join the party
via PC App

Does he have the chat going through the headset and speakers on the TV? If so try removing the option for the TV speakers. It might help.

If you're in party chat, you can set your chat audio to come through both the headset and the tv speakers. Then the recording device you use will pick up the party chat. This is only the case if you're using a capture card.
