    Microphone audio issues


    Hello all,

    I am having trouble with where I talk into the microphone connected or via bluetooth and no one can hear me however I can hear them. This started about one month ago. This is on the Series X, here are some things I have tried:

    1. I have hard reset both the console and the controller
    2. I have verified the console and the controller are up to date
    3. I have verified via accessibility and audio settings that it is not muted
    4. I have verified via audio settings I am not restricted in content
    5. I have verified that the microphone is not muted and is properly connected
    6. I have tried multiple controllers and it is not resolved
    7. I have tried multiple headsets and it is not resolved
    8. I have tried different xbox accounts on the same console and none of the accounts can be heard
    9. I have tried different audio apps such as Xbox Party and Skype.
    10. I can get gameplay sound through the headset

    The only "clues" I have right now is that if I use a 3.5mm plug in to jack into the controller (like the in ear buds you would use for a phone) I can have people hear me, however if I use a nicer headset that plugs into the same jack they cannot hear me. Additionally the blue circle on my icon does not light up when I talk unless I am using the 3.5mm in ear buds.

    Any help would be appreciated because I feel like I've tried all fixes and no go. Thanks!

    :)

    Audio/Microphone Issues

    @Mister Urkel - same issue here, here is my setup.

    I am using a Tritton Gears of War 5.1 Surround headset. The mic cable on this was designed to work on Xbox 360, so the microphone isn't plugged in at all. Which is good, because then there's no way for the headset to interfere with the Kinect.

    The headset is plugged in to the Optical Out on the back of the Xbox One. The Mic Cable doesn't interact with the system at all, it actually connects to a little volume control which is about halfway between the headset and the mixer box. So, the mic cable
    isn't plugged in at all.

    Now, with the "Use Kinect for Chat" option turned on, when I go into CoD Ghosts multiplayer, the Kinect Mic does not work. I can issue Voice Commands and participate in Party Chat, however the regular "in-game voice" does not work. So, if I'm just talking
    to people in a free-for-all match, they don't hear me (also, there is no Microphone icon next to my name in the lobby.) If I plug in my wired Xbox Headset that came with the One, I can be heard, but the audio goes to the Xbox headset, so I can't hear other
    voices in my headphones anymore.

    Hi Dark! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    If it works with a different 3.5mm jack would mean that the headset jack it's not doing proper contact with the controller connector, but what you have tried makes it impossible as according to that you have tried multiple headsets and controllers, on this the console, console can't be the issue, so it's either hardware or privacy settings but you said different accounts happens the same and that there's one kind that actually works

    So I would recommend, to power cycle the console and try again the controllers with different headsets, as between this 2 must be the issues if with a different kind of headset works

    Audio/Microphone Issues

    Hi, basically when I use my xbox one headset i can transmit sound but i receive sound from other headsets through my speakers and i do not know how to get it to come through my headset this is a really big problem for me because it ruins any voice communications
    in the game

    I hope this helps in some way and you can resolve the issue

    Audio/Microphone Issues

    Now I may add one thing, I realise this is day one, and bugs are to be expected, but to my understanding these things are not bugs, these are settings that should have been addressed by someone far before the console made it to in store release.
