Microphone

If you have a Kinect Camera/Microphone plugged in and you remove your normal microphone, the microphone image will still stay there.

As for your microphone, have you tried a different one?

Is the microphone socket on your controller blocked by anything or has a previous wired microphone lead snapped while in the controller? The reason I ask this is because any wired microphone will not let a wireless microphone connect to the controllers player
number. If it looks clear, start up an Xbox Live party and check if it says a microphone is connected without turning on your wireless microphone, if it says a microphone is connected then there's the issue. If it's possible I would return it to the retailer
you bought it from for an exchange.

There could be several reasons why your microphone is not connecting on Xbox 360. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Check the physical connection: Make sure that your microphone is properly plugged into the controller or console. Check that the jack is fully inserted and the microphone is securely connected.

Check the microphone settings: Ensure that the microphone is turned on and the volume is set to an appropriate level. Go to the Xbox 360 dashboard, select "Settings," and then "Preferences." From there, select "Voice." You can adjust the settings for the microphone, including the volume and sensitivity.

Test the microphone: Use the "Test Microphone" feature to see if your microphone is working. Go to the Xbox 360 dashboard, select "Settings," and then "Preferences." From there, select "Voice" and then "Test Microphone." Speak into the microphone and look for the sound meter to move.

Try a different microphone: If the above steps do not work, try using a different microphone. Sometimes microphones can become damaged or faulty over time, and using a new one can help isolate the issue.

If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Xbox support for further assistance.

Xbox gamepads do not have a microphone in it.

Yes I know the controller doesn't have a microphone it's when the microphone headset is connected to the controller.

If your microphone isn't detected after updating Windows 10, you may need to give your apps permission to use it. To let apps access the microphone, select Start ,then select Settings > Privacy > Microphone . Select Change, then turn on Allow apps to access your microphone!
