  1. My headphones turn off when plugged into my Xbox controller series s


    Hello,

    Newer to gaming but I bought some wireless headphones off amazon. Turns out, can’t use them with Xbox unless I use the wire.

    But whenever I plugged the wire from the headphones into the controller, the headphones turn off. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    They’re supposed to light up and all this cool stuff, but the moment I plugged them into the jack of the controller they go “headphones off” and turn off. And there’s no other way to use them with Xbox I’m assuming?

    Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows incorrectly detects devices

    If it were a built-in headphone jack, then it would turn off when the controller itself was turned off, right? It connects when I plug in my headset.

    Xbox One controller shuts off while streaming video using a headset.

    I also want to know how to get this issue resolved. I watch VuDu with my headphones plugged into my controller and it shuts off every 15 minutes. Who at microsoft do we contact to ask for a setting they could add on the xbox to let us toggle this on or
    off or a controller firmware update that makes it so it won't turn off if headphones are plugged in?

    Home Page of my XBOX 1S shows a muted mic...HELP!!!

    I have tried many ways and several times to unmute the mic icon on the top right corner of my homepage. My headphones, nor my mic works. My controller is wireless but my headphones/mic plugs directly into the xbox controller. It was working fine
    a few days ago and now it's not working at all. The headset is new. Any ideas?
    Try turning the xbox off and then turn the console back on with your mic already plugged into your controller. If that doesnt work try going into settings and see if updating the controller works

    Xbox X controllers disconnecting

    This does seem to be a thing.

    After experimenting around, it seems to be related (in my case) to when I unplug my headphones from the controller and plug them into some other device like my switch.

    Play around on switch etc, plug it back into Xbox controller again.. that’s when the trouble seems to start.

    Especially if the Xbox was turned off at the time, sometimes I can’t even start the Xbox back up using that controller after plugging headphone back in controller.

    Disconnecting the wire from the controller itself doesn’t make the difference, unplugging the entire cable from the USB port and plugging that back in, does make the difference.

    Very very weird and i can reproduce it to an extent.
