Kinect microphone not working for game chat warzone

Hello LAPIII,

Of course you can, to disable the Kinect microphone go to:

# Settings

# Select Kinect

# Uncheck 'Use Kinect microphone for chat.'

Voice commands will also work with the "Kinect microphone being off".

I believe I know what the problem is. Mine was working fine, chat coming through headset but then it reversed itself. I believe this was due to selecting "Use Kinect microphone for chat" under Settings>Kinect>Use Kinect microphone for chat. After I unselected
it the headset was again providing chat ability and not my TV/speakers.

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.

Hi Sean! Unfortunately, the Kinect does not work for Game Chat in all games, because not all game developers have chosen to include it as an option. For example, in CoD Ghosts, the Activision support team have confirmed, "Kinect does not work for in-game
chat because Ghosts is designed to require a dedicated microphone." In other words, a mic which isn't also receiving voice commands, etc.

Kinect WILL work for Party Chat in all games, if I'm not mistaken, because this goes through the Party App rather than the individual game programming. The best way to find out if Kinect game chat is supported by a specific game is to check the documentation
or developer website, because not all developers have chosen to program for the Kinect as a microphone, and it's not always easy to tell if it's working as you'd expect!

Hope this helps!

I did reset the Xbox and kept games, but that only allowed me to chat with the Kinect attached. I disabled the mic on the Kinect, but still could not chat with the microphone attached to the headset. I decided to disconnect the Kinect altogether now the mic works.
