Mic on Xbox headset

nerdo joe · Feb 18, 2015

Hey,

I am having issues with the mic on my headset. I can hear other players via it be party or game chat, but I can't talk to them using my mic. I can talk to them using my Kinect's mic and hear them. I tried re updating controller, unplugging Xbox one and rebooting,
and taking the battery pack out of controller. Nothing seems to work.

Thanks for any help,

Joe

Headset: Can hear friends, but mic won't detect my voice. Tried 2 headsets. Kinect mic works!

Hello all,

I ran into this issue a couple of weeks ago. My mic stopped picking up my voice, but Xbox detected the mic and played back voice through the headset.

I tried the mic on two different controllers and it wouldn't work on either. Xbox detects the mic, but it won't record any voice. So I went out and bought a brand new $20 headset - NO LUCK. The new headset doesn't work on either controller. Once again, Xbox
detects the mic and I can hear my friends through the headset but the mic won't pickup my voice.

My privacy settings are fine and my Kinect mic works. What in the heck is going on here? This is driving me insane!

I have a turtle beach px21 headset and purchased the xbox one headset adapter. The stereo sound is coming through really well, but the mic isn't working with it. Is this a known issue or is my headset mic not compatible with the xbox one?

The "mic" you're referring to is the boom mic that plugs into the headset.

The mic I'm referring to is the chat system that allows one to talk to other players. Normally, that's supported by a wired mic cable that goes from the 360 controller to other headsets. On all other 360 headsets, a cable is required from the base of the
360 controller to the headset for chat. Even the wireless Astro A50 has a mic cable port to go to the 360 controller.

On the Tritton Warhead, that's all done wirelessly, same as the Microsoft Wireless Mic for 360 works. Tritton integrated the wireless mic into the headset base unit so that the headset can be completely wireless - no wired mic cable going to the controller.

It's the wired mic cable that the Tritton Warhead lacks that is the problem. There will be no way for the Warhead's base unit to sync its wireless mic with the Xbox One.

If all you want to do is use the Warhead as a wireless headset without a mic, it will be fine. If you want mic support, it won't.

i also tried unplugging my turtle beach and using standard xbox headset and bought another xbox headset and same thing still.

What is the regular mic?

I assumed the regular mic was the headset and that your headset was some other headset

I have experienced this myself.

Many of the newer headsets are not compatible with the original xbox controller headset jack. I tried several headsets before discovering this issue.

Static usually means it is not getting a good connection due to the headset jack not connecting completely.

It should work if you buy a xbox headset adapter.

You may also try powering off the controller. Plug in the headset. Once it shows the headset is connected. Press the xbox button on the controller and scroll to the audio settings. Make sure the the slider for the mic is turned to the on position. Also try
adjusting the mic and headset control volumes and mic sensitivity in this menu.
