Mic not being picked up with stereo adapter

I have the xb1 stereo headset. Mic doesn't work and game audio is glitchy at times. My controller froze up in Titanfall once while using the adapter also.

 

i have the XO 4 headset from turtle beach and the mic doesn't work even the mic that game with my headset isn't working

 

I have an issue with headset adapter, if you plug in the USB & charge the pad with the headset connected, you get a buzzing through the mic. It's not audible to people in the chat/party but if you try to record audio in say upload studio its as loud as the
game audio & not usable.

Also the mic activator image is constantly on when the USB is connected, due to the buzzing.

Needs fixed, since the pads won't last long with the headset connected, since game audio & voice audio are going through the pad.

I have the XO Four headset, works great if you don't connect the USB to power/charge the pad.

(Just in case)

When updating your pad/adapter connect the audio jack before doing it.

 

Just to confirm what was already said: my Tritton AX720 headset will not pick up my voice while using the new chat adapter (the green indicator light in party chat does not even light up when I speak). I should hope there is a fix for this soon or I will
be returning the adapter.

 

Same here with the Tritton AX Pro's. i have gotten the audio to work about 1 second each time i reseed the 3.5mm cable. Tried different cables same issue. i can hear them but mic not picking up. i went out and bought a new cable since the cable it came
with is that 360 dongle type.

 

3.5mm connector is the issue, there's different types hence the reason the microphone doesn't work.

I've posted an explanation.

Buzzing is quite likely play and charge related.

 

There are two different 3.5mm TRRS standards: OMTP and CTIA. They are identical, except ground and mic pins are switched. I BELIEVE the Xbox One adapter uses the OMTP standard, so headsets designed to the CTIA standard (Apple products of note) wont work.
You can get an in-line adapter to switch these pins to make one compatible with the other. Google "omtp to ctia adapter"

 

Correction to my last: per Xbox.com: "Any 3.5mm stereo headset (that uses the CTIA plug standard) can get stereo game audio by plugging into the adapter"

Emphasis on CTIA plug standard.

 

Does anybody know which standard is used by the Tritton AX720 headset? I bought a 3.5mm - 3.5mm audio cable for it but I have plenty of issues while chatting via the Xbox One headset adapter.

It may just be the cable which is designed for OMTP instead of CTIA but I need to know if I must be looking for an OMTP to CTIA converter as well for the Tritton. I mean, I wonder if I only have an issue on the adapter side or on the headset side as well.

 

I learned something new after chatting online with a knowledgeable support rep at Tritton/Madcatz.

The chat cable which came with my AX720s (that is, the cable that links the inline controller for the headset with the Xbox 360 controller or with the Xbox One headset adapter) has a 3.5mm prong on each end. Each 3.5mm prong had 2 black stripes on it.

Turns out, the cable I NEED has the same 3.5mm prong on each end, but one prong must have 2 stripes, and one must have 3. I'm sure someone who is more of an audiophile than I am can tell me the difference between the 2 stipe prong and the 3 stripe prong.


Not sure if 2 three-stripe prongs will work, but I have gotten chat to work by using two adapters, and going from 2 stripe 3.5mm to 2.5mm and then back to 3.5mm with three stripes.

Sounds convoluted, but at least I can now chat through my Trittons, which I love and are terrific headsets.
