    Mic suddenly stops working


    My sons mic suddenly stopped working whilst playing CoD. It was working fine - then stopped mid game. He could hear others and it still works for sound but just he cannot be heard. Cannot get the xbox to recognise mic. It knows its plugged in as the headset
    icon is displayed but the mic with a line through it appears when it is unplugged and the icon disappears from the banner next to the user name. When setting up a party for one there is no glowing green circle, just a warning triangle over his user symbol,
    but the headset has been proven to work fully on a PC. It says ''Your privacy settings prevent chat with some people' when we 'go to privacy settings' it all seems fine and enabled for chat as expected. We have tried numerous controllers, adaptors and headsets
    which we know work but with same problem. The only common denominator is the xbox itself. Power cycled fully (off at plug for 2 mins), other settings checked but nothing seems amiss.

    There seem to be multiple threads with a similar theme but no resolution I can see.

    Anyone got a solution please? I'm sick of buying headsets....

    :)

    In your Xbox settings try.

    Power & Startup - Turn off or restart - FULL SHUTDOWN

    I've had a similar issue this seems to remedy it.
    Thanks but sadly this did not remedy the problem.

    Mic suddenly stopped working

    It could be a controller issue, The headset may need an update too directly from the manufacturers site. What type of headset is it ? How old is it ?
    It's an official Xbox One controller and was bought about 6 weeks ago.

    I have tested my controller on another Xbox and it worked (with headset) just fine.

    I have also tried it with two other controllers (with and without the stereo adapter) and still not working.

    I have also tried all three controllers and another headset on another profile and still not working.

    Mic suddenly stopped working

    Hi there ,

    Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with connecting a headset on the Xbox One.

    To help clarify, Have you tested your
    NAT type
    ?

    I recommend to
    create a static IP for the console,
    and port forwarding on the network
    configuration settings for a better connection.

    Check out this article for more information on the
    Xbox Live Ports.

    Try this out and let us know the results.
    Hi

    Thanks for the reply. I don't have an issue connecting the headset - I can hear everything and my team mates perfectly.

    It's just they can't hear me. The Xbox is showing the correct 'headset attached' icon. It's just not registering my voice.

    My mic / headset works on other devices (and I even tested it out on a friends Xbox) so I know the issue does not lie there.

    I've even tested my controller and headset on another Xbox and it worked perfectly...

    I've done the NAT test and it's open (which is what I expected).

    I've tested the connection and it's all good - I can create parties and my friends can join me - the issue is they cannot hear me.

    Which leads me to believe that the issue lies with my Xbox and not the headset or controller.

    It was working fine and then, mid-game, it just stopped. I've done everything as mentioned above (checked settings, rebooted, reset Xbox) and still nothing.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Thanks for the help.

    Mic suddenly stopped working

    Hi,

    quick update... found the cable to plug my controller in.

    issue still remains.

    have tested this with and without the stereo adapter on both headsets, with all three controllers and on both profiles.

    it was working fine the other day and then, mid game, it crackled a bit and then just stopped working.

    but it works fine on all other devices so I know the headset is working just fine.
