Kinect Issue: Kinect Won't Detect Voice in Party or Private Chat Though Xbox Hears Me

Okay I can't help you with the issue but I have a similar problem where I can hear friends in party chat and game chat but they can't hear me even though my Xbox is detecting that it hears me talking. This both applies through my mic and the kinect. The
thing that puzzles me over it all, is that my mic and kinect definitely work because they work through the Skype app, so can anyone help, please

So one thing I have seen is that sometimes my voice won't transmit in either game chat or party chat but I can still hear everyone else.

I solved my issue by removing the cover I have over the kinect cameras. It seems like the xbox one knows I'm signed in and in a party, the controller knows there is a headset plugged in and I hear sound, but if the kinect camera can't see that the controller
is in my hand then voice doesn't transmit.

Happened 3 times now that my voice won't transmit through headset... I get up take cover off cameras, sit back down and boom... Voice is working fine. Don't have to leave party and rejoin or anything.

Sorry but that is not at all related to what I said the issue is. Perhaps i should have been more thorough but i thought it was clear that I was referring to party/game chat, not kinect commands.

The problem is that although I can hear both game and voice chat through my headset, the headset mic will not transmit voice. If the kinect option for 'use kinect for in game chat' is on, other people in the game/party tell me my kinect is acting as the
reciever, if the option is off, nothing will transmit at all.

After a look through the forums it seems there are a number of similar threads so it looks like this is a widespread problem with how kinect or game chat is set up.

Wrong. The kinect turns off for chat when a headset is detected. This is proved by the fact that it will switch to Kinect chat when the headset is removed or the controller dies.

Xbox Party Chat is broken.

Try this:

Check the Kinect microphone setting

If you’re using the microphone in the Kinect sensor for chat, make sure no headsets are connected to your console (wired or wireless). Then, make sure the chat microphone on the Kinect sensor is on.

To turn on the Kinect chat microphone:

Sign into Xbox LIVE.

Press the Guide button on your controller.

Select Chat & IM.

Make sure the Kinect microphone is set to On.
