Microphone not detected

Voice chat just doesn't work. I have tried everything, different headsets, controllers, power cycling and nothing works. It used to work but it just stopped working out of nowhere and it doesn't work in party chats or game chat.

Okay, I just discovered an issue:

The Xbox Stereo Headset's microphone does NOT work when connected via a USB hub, even if it's the only device attached to the USB hub. The microphone is detected, but it does not detect any sound in the volume meter.

As soon as I plug my Xbox One controller directly into the Surface Pro 2, the microphone immediately detects sound.

Thanks Alpha Soulneed, I've attempted to update the controllers wirelessly on the Xbox and on a USB via our PC. They are both already up to date.

Is there a way to factory reset a controller?

Hello! You could try to update the controllers. In this link is the necessary information to do it

Hello again, try to check if your microphone has a CTIA connection standard, if it is OMTP it will not work, as the pin connection standard at Microsoft is CTIA.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Thanosischunky, did your mic never work or did it work and then stopped working?

Another thing that can influence is the connection standard of your headset, so that it can work on the Xbox it needs to be of the CTIA standard.
