    Microphone only works for about 3-5 seconds, then cuts out and nobody can hear me.


    This problem just started today. My Kinect microphone works swimmingly. When I plug in my headset, I can speak for a few seconds but then it stops receiving my audio. It's only the headset with which this problem occurs. I can still hear my friends talking
    in game/party chat, and the volume buttons still work. I really don't know why it would only pick up my voice for a few seconds then just stop working.

    I tried restarting my Xbox with the headset already plugged in. I've kept my party chat snapped so I can tell when my sound is being picked up and when it's not. I could make my microphone work by unplugging it and plugging it back in every single time I
    want to say something, but who should have to do that? Has anyone encountered this problem before? What can be done to fix it?

    To be clear, this is in reference to the stock Xbox One headset that shipped with the console.

    :)

    Game sound cutting out with adapter

    Using turtle beaches px22. Every 3 second the game sound cuts out. I have no game sound for about 5 seconds (yeah I counted), then it come back...for 3 seconds, and cuts out again. During the time there's no game sound, I can still hear game or party chat
    clearly.

    Controller was updated, I've disconnected and reconnected everything, but it solved nothing. Anyone else having this issue, is there a fix?

    One MIC. STATIC from players. Not on TV

    My xbox One microphone has a few issues.

    1. Works fine for other players to hear me.

    2. I can hear people/mute/soundup down works.

    3. Problem: When friends talk it comes threw microphone so statically I cannot hear him.

    4.When mic is unplugged I can hear him threw the tv speakers just fine.

    Microphone only works for about 3-5 seconds, then cuts out and nobody can hear me.

    I'm having the same exact issue. Ive tried controllers and headsets that work fine on other consoles and my headset and controller works fine on other consoles as well so I've eliminated that as the issue. Not sure what else to try.

    Interesting, JEEPIN. I have not had the luxury of being able to test it on another person's console or controller.

    So that makes at least two of us who have had this issue. The Support Staff should be able to help, if they ever care to even read this thread.

    When this happens, can you all try hitting the Home button, going to the top-left corner and clicking on your gamerpic and select "Choose this person"? Does this resolve the issue?

    If not, does this only happen when the controller is connected wirelessly? Can you try plugging the controller in via USB cable and see if the problem persists?

    Let us know how you get on.

    Maxen, I will try this tomorrow when I get some spare time. Will post back with whether or not this fixes the issue.

    Could this have something to do with a recent update?

    Maxen's solution did not work at all.

    What can be done about this? The mic seems to work in every way except for transmitting my own voice.

  12. After purchasing a new controller and headset, I find myself dealing with the exact same problem. Around 11pm last night my outgoing communications stopped unless the mic is unplugged and re-plugged back into the controller (works for 3-5 seconds and I've
    been advised that it sounds as if I'm whispering). Please let me know if anyone is able to find the cure.
