    Microsoft Headset - Microphone Sensitivity Very Low

    Picked up the Microsoft stereo headset with mic (includes new controller adapter which required firmware updates; applied).

    The microphone sensitivity is very poor. Its not picking up normal chat. Even raised voice will only pick up a word or two. I dont believe there is a option to adjust the mic sensitivity... Thinking i may need to return this.

    Any others seeing this with after market mics?

  3. Xbox One Adapter Issue

    Hi there SS KaRiZMA,

    Is this an xbox stereo adapter or the default chat headset that comes with the Xbox?

    If its an stereo adapter, please share what mic/headset is being plugged in. Make / Model#.

    Mic not being picked up with stereo adapter

    Same as my problem. Posted this in that thread: Can we assume they don't work with any inline mic headsets? Or, 3rd party in general? I also opened a case # 1237899817 opened. They suggested to get more people to call it in.

    Thats crazy they really need to specify better they said any 3.5mm headset. I have tried the Afterglow Wireless Headset and it wont even pick up game audio at all.

    Exaclty the same problem, but with a set of Tritton AX720s. They sound fantastic, but the mic is not working. Friends cannot hear me, and the circular indicator does not light up when I speak.

    Mic not being picked up with stereo adapter

    Xbox Support Chat for case 1237936431



    Ceazar: We do apologize to inform you that we checked the updates in our system, however, the list of the compatible headset is not yet uploaded, what we know that currently compatible 3rd party headsets are some model of the turtle beach
    headset.

    Yamill: so all other headsets that did not launch today are out?

    Ceazar: There is a possibility of that one, Yamill, however, rest assured that our Xbox engineers are already updating the system to make the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter be compatible for all 3rd party headset.

    Yamill: wow

    Ceazar: The Xbox One Stereo Headset and the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter are both new released accessories for Xbox One console and the system update for those accessories are not yet complete and once both system update will be completed
    you can already use 3rd party headset that you currently have.



    I'm guessing we are stuck...

  10. I'm using the Astro A30s with the adapter and I am also not able to get my microphone to work.

    I have the adapter set to full voice audio and my astro mixamp set to mix game and voice. This should mix between my optical input and the chat input from the controller/adapter. I'm getting the game audio, but not the chat.

    I sucessfully updated the controller firmware and updated my mixamp by connecting it to my pc.

    Heard there are some problems with the Polks as well (which look sweet.) Rumored update for the Polks on Monday, maybe there are more in the works?

    Mic not being picked up with stereo adapter

    my x1 has same problems.

    is this to do with them not being straight microphone going via a control box? how can a firmware or software update resolve?

    i can connect an audio source like my phone and the circle lights up

    Odd thing is, is my headset worked like a charm on the 360. I understand that the X1 and 360 are different beasts, but this seems like it should work without a hitch. Plus, when a product (the adapter) is advertised as doing something (enabling existing
    third party headsets,) and it categorically does not do what it's supposed to, should we just return them to the store?

    Still no reply, nor any official word. Yet, if you look at the forums, they are full of people for whom the new adapter is not working.

    Called support the other day, and, while he was largely uninformed, the man I spoke to said there "might" be some sort of issue with the adapter, and there "might" be another update coming. Incredibly frustrating to have no official word on something that
    is so obviously effecting so many people.
