    Kinect Chat Won't Work


    Hi there,

    Me and my brother have spent 9 hours playing Halo trying to get kinect chat to work. After each try we'd just give up, play a game with our phones on loud speaker so we can talk to each other.

    But it simply won't work, it indicates I say something but my brother can't hear me and vice versa. We are both on party chat, we have both restarted and replugged our kinects, both calibrated our kinects again, tried restating out party several times, we aren't
    both muted so we should be able to hear fine, both kinects are on, both say kinect is the chat device being used, and both of us it says chat is on.

    So what's the go? He can hear me through my headset, but when I change back to kinect it won't work, his headset is broken so he can't use that so kinect is the only option. This use to work but lately it just doesn't, seemingly no reason at all as to why it
    100% won't work on chat. Every other function is fine, just this particular function of talking to other people.

    :)

    Mic Broken?

    I have unchecked the box that says "Use Kinect Microphone for Chat." I did that already, sorry for not mentioning. It will still play through the kinect and tv. However, when I make a skype call, the mic works perfectly fine. It just won't work for parties.

    Kinect Chat Won't Work

    Sorry to hear it. Can you please head to Settings to make sure that the chat is coming out of the TV speakers instead of the headset? Most likely that is what is causing the issue.

    What is it meant to say in settings? It says stereo as it usually does.

    Thing is I can hear everyone in game chat but not party chat, it seems to only be in effect with party chat when using Kinect at the moment.

    But still doesn't make sense as I've done the Kinect chat several times before, it just decided to stop being functional now.

    I have given my brother my old headset and that still hasn't fixed the issue. It's come back to our initial problem of he can hear me but I can't hear him. It says on his end it's registering his voice but I don't hear it.

    (Mind you I have troubles with trying to maintain chat wish some people most of the time despite all settings being what they should be)

    Kinect not working for Chat?

    Make sure that the setting is activated for this - go to Settings > Kinect and verify the 'use for game chat' box is ticked.

    In privacy settings, also make sure that voice communication is set to 'Everyone' as that could also be the cause, if it works in party chat and for voice commands, but not in public game-chat.
