    Xbox one elite controller not supporting my stereo headset adapter mic functions

    My stereo headset adapter will not recognize my mic on my headset when plugged into my new elite controller

    I have updated the controller with the adapter plugged in

    I have tested my headset on multiple devices to insure the mic is working fine

    I have plugged my stereo headset adapter into my non-elite controller and the mic works just fine

    And lastly my mic works just fine when plugged directly into the jack built into my elite controller

    but for some reason it will not work at all when my stereo headset adapter is plugged into the elite controller and now i can not make use of the great audio options the adapter supports (mute, volume, ect.)

    I suppose i should note that it is just the mic. I can hear audio fine through my headset when the adapter is plugged into my elite controller but the mic is not working and no one can hear me. Really annoying.

    Would really love to know if anyone else has run into this problem with the elite controller or if an update is in the pipe line to fix it (as it is most assuredly a software problem in the controller).

    I swear to god if anyone tells me its hardware or that i need to update again.....FIX THIS MICROSOFT

    Mic settings(were did they go)

    GoluckyMonkey97,

    1) So, you are using a "Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter" with your controller, correct...?

    2) And, when you plug your Apple headphones into the adapter/controller, the
    not mic     indicator in the upper right hand corner on the main menu changes to a
    headset icon, and you do not get the headset and mic controls in the Settings menu between All settings and Turn off console?

    Yes.... That's the way it's suppose to work. I had assumed that you were not using the stereo headset adapter, and that you were plugging your headphones directly into the controller's 3.5-mm jack. But, when the adapter is attached to the controller and
    a compatible headset is plugged into the adapter, the Xbox will make the hardware buttons on the adapter as the priority for controlling over all Volume, game/chat Balance and Mute. Therefore, the headset and mic controls will not show up in the Settings menu.

    I regret if this is still not working for you and your Apple headphones. But, if you do need to get a new headset, from my personal experience I think the "Xbox
    One Stereo Headset    " are the best buy for the money.

    Xbox Wireless Headset on PC

    I have Same problem.

    I think that this headset dont work on pc like on xbox. I tried to connect it with the xbox wireless adapter and , it works, both are enable to use, stereo and mic, BUT, i have problems when i activate dolby atmos or windows sonic. The sound failed sometimes.

    The solutions that i used was, connect the headset in two devices, Bluetooth ,to use stereo with dolby atmos and wireless adapter for mic.

    Sorry my english.

    Mic settings(were did they go)

    1. I use an adapter with not headset attached.

    2. On the top right corner of my screen where the charge of your controller battery is shown it also shows if you have a headset or not and when I plug in my "Apple headphones" it shows they are a headset.

    Can I use a Xbox one sterio headset with a DVI converter?

    Hi Legend of RDG

    If I understand your question...

    Q: If you buy the Stereo Adapter, will this allow you to hear sound.

    A: Yes, the stereo adapter will allow you to plug in headphones to hear sound. I omitted the headset that comes with the adapter just in case you already have headphones.

    (The Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter lets you plug a compatible chat or stereo headset into the Xbox One Controller to control your audio experience without taking your hands off the controller.)

    The adapter will work with many existing headphones, but you can opt to buy the Xbox Headphones (w/Mic) and adapter too

    The mic that came with the Xbox one works. My adapter chat button makes the game volume higher. Is it suppose to be like that?

    X Box One Controller is muted

    Our xbox one controllers stopped working with the stereo headset (just the mic) all simultaneously.

    We tried plugging it into the 3.5 mm jack. None of my 3 controllers worked after having worked fine for months. All updated to latest firmware.

    I tested the headset on my iphone and the mic was fine there- I could record voice memos with no problems

    went to GameStop and spent $50 for the stereo headset adapter, and that allowed the mic to work again for another 30 days.



    Now the mic is stuck on mute again, the headset adapter’s slashmark icon stays lit
