Microsoft Xbox One Stereo Headset Mic Monitoring

MxGovern · Dec 28, 2019

I have tried everything under the sun, restarting, moving the console, changing internets, checking controller settings and configurations, and the general audio output settings; but NOTHING will allow me to use mic monitoring with Microsoft’s own Xbox
One Stereo Headset, the headset audio settings menu even completely disappears when i use the adapter that came with the headset. Turns out upon reading microsoft’s support forum that their own headset doesn’t even support mic monitoring, can i get reimbursement
now that i have to buy a seperate adapter just to use a standard xbox feature???

Do you need mic monitoring?

If not have you considered these:

Check the side window at the home screen. There are a few settings for the Headset Mic and Mic Monitoring right there. Also what Headset are you using with the Stereo Adapter?

Hello Lafuine,

Unfortunately, we do not have updates for Turtle Beach. As they are a third party headset. If you see mic monitoring on the audio try moving the bar little more to the right and see if it helps. If you don't have one, you can try a

stereo headset adapter.

Thanks,

Brad

Update: I still have this problem and I think I narrowed the problem down to the dashboard's mic option called "Mic monitoring" (a feature that enables you to hear your own chat echoed in real time) that appears in the slide-in guide if you have a newer
xbox one controller that has a 3.5mm hole in it or have (in my case) a gen 1 controller and the chat pad. The options appear on that microsoft gen 1 xbox one controller (with chat pad but not with the stereo headset adapter) but not on my Afterglow controller.

Consensus is that my controller is unable to be used at the moment because of the buzzing and that the fact that the "mic monitoring" feature is enabled by default at 50% and I can't view the option to lower it to 0%. It does, on a microsoft xbox one gen
1 controller with the chat pad but not the stereo headset adapter.

I don’t think my main question was understood correctly, the only reason i am asking for a reimbursement is because Microsoft’s own product does not allow for use of an xbox feature, so i will be forced to buy an outside product to fix the issue. If you
could offer a solution or an answer, as to “why does the Xbox One Stereo Headset not allow for mic monitoring on the Xbox One (exactly, read it again and slowly because it is very frustrating)?” then i wont need to buy an outside product... pls help i just
wanna hear myself in my own headset, and i thought that out of all headsets that would have an issue, Microsoft’s own product would be the last one
