    Microphone audio doesn't register when connecting headset through a wired Xbox One Elite...


    I just built a computer, and I am trying to use my current controller setup. However, while I can get audio, my mic isn't picking up. Here's my setup:

    - I am using an Xbox Elite series 2 controller
    wired to my PC with the cable provided with the controller.

    - I have a HyperX CloudX headset connected to the
    3.5" audio jack on the controller.

    - The input and output settings on my PC are both set to the controller's headset.

    - I receive all output audio correctly.

    - When on the windows 'sound settings', using the 'Test Microphone' my mic seems to be
    very faintly picked up (1-3 bars max) but not enough to register. This tiny register goes away when flipping the mute switch on my headset.

    - When using discord, I get nothing picked up at all.

    My theory knowing what little I do in audio, is that the microphone might need more power than is being provided when connected to PC, but I do not have a usb slot on my headset. Only the single audio jack. Do I need the old Stereo Headset Adapter for my
    controller? Do I need another peripheral? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Sorry to say, but most of these are not applicable.

    - The headset functions properly when connected to my Xbox One, and this problem is exclusively when connected to my PC.

    - The firmware is up to date and checked with the 'Xbox Accessories' app on my desktop and on my system.

    - Privacy settings allow for the use of the microphone.

    - Does not have to do with balance or levels of the microphone.

    - Have rebooted my PC several times to no avail.

    Thank you for the attempt! I am hopeful for a solution.

    Purhased Universal ELITE Wired Headsets that is for XBOX 360, but now I have an Xbox One??

    [quote user="BleachedSmile58"]Is there an adapter I can use on my Universal ELITE Wired Headset that is for( XBOX 360, PS3, Wii, WiiU, PC and Mobile and Audio devices)??? That will allow them to use the headsets on the XBOX1??[/quote]Assuming

    this is the headset
    , you'll need RCA audio out. That can be provided by the TV, the receiver, or by a digital to analog audio adapter that attaches to the Xbox One's optical out port.

    Mic support is coming via an adapter, but there's no hard release date. For now, Kinect's microphone can be used.

    If I use the Xbox One stereo adapter and/or a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable, will my official Xbox 360 wired headset work on my Xbox One?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    Good evening

    Yes, you can use the Xbox One Stereo Adapter along with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable to use your official Xbox 360 wired headset with your Xbox One. The adapter is necessary as it allows you to connect the 2.5mm jack of the headset to the 3.5mm port on the Xbox One controller.

    Once you have connected the headset, you should be able to hear both game audio and chat audio through the headset. The Xbox One allows you to adjust the balance between game audio and chat audio in the settings.

    Regarding the compatibility of the Xbox 360 wired headset with the Xbox One, while the official Xbox website states that the headset only works with licensed Xbox 360s, it should still work with the Xbox One if you use the adapter.

    If you do not have the Xbox One Stereo Adapter, you can also use a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable that has a microphone built-in. This will allow you to plug the headset directly into the Xbox One controller and use it for both game audio and chat audio.

    As for stripping wires or hacking the headset, this is not recommended as it can damage the headset and is not a reliable or safe solution.

    Bug: Microphone doesn't work after disconnecting Windows 10 streaming

    Thank you Bestlano!

    Another issue I'm running into with the headset adapter + windows 10 streaming:

    I docked my surface pro 2 into the docking station, which has a wired PC microphone plugged in. When I start playing (Rainbow Six Siege), the game audio is coming through my headset adapter (via the Xbos Stereo Headset), but the Windows 10 Xbox app is utilizing
    my wired PC microphone instead of the Stereo Headset/Headset Adapter. I can't figure out a way to force the streaming app to use the microphone plugged into my controller...

    (not sure if I should document this issue in another thread)

    It seems there may be some minor issues between the Windows 10 Xbox streaming application when used with the Xbox Headset Adapter.
