    Mic stopped working after switching controllers


    Hi, I recently purchased a gears of war 4 controller and I joined a party online and saw the error message "we couldn't find a mic for these people" I'm using the standard Xbox one chat headset and it worked fine with my previous controller (Halo 5 controller).
    So I tried plugging in my turtle beaches directly into the 3.5mm jack of the gears controller and that headset worked, so maybe the regular port doesn't work? My wired chat headset still works when plugged into my halo 5 controller but when plugged into the
    gears controller it's not even recognized. Both of my controllers are updated and assigned to my profile, please help.

    :)

    No sound through headset?

    I had the exact same problem. At first I thought the mic was working, but later realized that my friend was hearing me through the Kinect's microphone. I tried switching the headset to my second controller, but then at some point both my controllers stopped
    working too.

    Mic cant seem to hear me on my xbox?

    me and my friend are having same problem. My friends mic stopped working after he walked out of range and mine stops working if cable is plugged in/out. What fixes it for me and my friend is to go to the settings and set the controller for my profile (even
    if its already set) and then for luck i try to vibrate it. Usually the mic starts working after that.

    My friend had to turn the controller off before his started working though.

    My black controller.

    Does the mic work on other controllers? Are the batteries fully charged? If you are using a wireless pad, low batteries will cause the Mic to stop working.

    Overwatch- Xbox- Mic Issues. Can hear team chat but cant speak

    Firmware update completed.

    Was able to use the mic in game but when I walked away from the game for a long time and the controller turned off (timed out) the mic stop working. I restarted the console and the mic worked again, So now the only way for the mic to work is to turn the game on, plug headphones into controller and restart console.
