Microphone problems? G430 Headset Adapter

xPassed · Dec 10, 2015

Hello,

So I'm trying to use a Logitech G430 headset on my Xbox One, but things are looking too well. I have purchased the Xbox One headset stereo adapter and the Startech.com headset adapter thing in an attempt to make the headset work with the xbox, but it's not
working. I could hear my friends on the headset, but the microphone isn't working. I tried troubleshooting, that didn't work. My mic isn't muted, the cables are all in tight, etc. Is anyone able to make this headset work for them? Or is it just me.

I tested my mic on Skype, but I didn't hear anything. On Black Ops 3 however, I saw the microphone thing next to my name, but no one can hear me.....

:)

Will any headset without a microphone work with the Xbox one headset adapter?

Hi everyone, I am going to buy the headset adapter and was wondering if it is a must for my headset to have a microphone. I want use a headset just for game audio and not for chat. Will any headset without a microphone work with the adapter?

Thanks in advance

If this is your headset - http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/g430-7-1-surround-sound-gaming-headset/specs

Your headset won't work with Xbox. You have a PC headset.

The headset I found is a PC headset with a separate mic and line audio cable.

The mic and audio need to be together on one cable.

It looks like the G233 G933 G633 state specifically - Works with PC, Console, and Mobile devices

Standard PC headsets use twin three section jack plugs (green for audio, pink for mic), Xbox One headsets use a different configuration and use a four section jack plug going directly into the controller .

I think there's a way to use a microphone if you have a controller with the headset 3.5mm plug on it :

Or use the adapter for a headset :

Then use one like this on the 3.5mm input :

And then use a microphone with a 3.5mm connector.

Hope this helps you on it,

What adapter did you try without success?

Be aware that there are two standards for 3.5 mm headset jacks called OMTP and CTIA. With both standards, the microphone and ground pin connectors are reversed.

Which means, if your Bose headset has an OMTP standard jack, the headset is sending microphone signals to the controller's ground, while the controller is "listening" for the microphone on the headset's ground pin.

If the headset actually works on your smartphone for example, then simply get an OMTP to CTIA adapter cable. Since only two wires get crossed over, these adapters should be dirt cheap. If the store is asking for a higher price than a coffee-to-go for such
an adapter, you are being ripped off. Also, since crossing the ground and microphone pin works both ways, you can also get a CTIA to OMTP adapter, as both are the same thing.
