Mic Unresponsive

Hi, I'm sorry to hear you having these issues. Try to power cycle your console and see if that helps, you can try to sign in and out of your profile. If all else here are some trouble shooting steps relating to your issue.

Sometimes this happens to me What I do is first try to rejoin the party or game, give my console a reset by holding the power button. That usually does the trick. Be sure to follow the steps suggested by the Microsoft agent

Hello Chris,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. I have a list of troubleshooting you can try. You wont be able to assign it as it is a third party headset.

Fix for 3rdparty headsets

1.) power cycle console

2.)Go to settings> Kinect and Devices> Devices and Accessories> [...]> Assign controller to account> Update control> unassign account> test headset/chat

3.)Make sure mic is "ON" Press the home button> go to the Gear on the
menu> Audio> Turn Mic off and on. OR go to settings> Kinect and Devices> Devices and Accessories> [...]>Audio> Mic on> Adjust volume.

4.)You can test your controller if it is broken by "Buzzing" the controller. The buzz feature is connected to the headset port, and if the controller does not buzz then the port may be damaged.
[Turning on Vibration if it does not "Buzz"> Settings> Ease of Access>
Controller> Vibration Settings> Turn on Vibration].

5.)Some mics are detachable and may be damaged so try testing the headset on another device to see if it works (Example: windows 10.

Test the Headset with Skype Test or Voice Recorder). If there is an issue with using the headset on an Xbox controller, you can try using a headset adaptor.

6.) Make sure there is no Enforcement on the account.

7.) Make sure the controller is not full of dust in the headset port (you can use compressed air to clear the dust).

8..) Make sure controller is fully charged/ change battery type.

9.) Use a headset adapter or standard headphones (Main fix)

10) Soft or full console reset. (may not work all the time)

Thanks,

Brad

i too have this issue, bought new mic and controller, but still have the same god damn problems. i have audio but mic unresponsive!

Just had this happen to me I can hear party yet my mic seems unresponsive... done all the checks and hard reset ( even reset xbox to defaults and reinstalled ) not banned either... problem seems to have evolved during this latest update.

My headset and controller all seem fine other than the mic , I don't want to fork out cash on a new controller+ mic just for problem to persist.
