    My headset mic won’t detect sound


    So I have a Xbox mic and I can clearly hear sounds but my mic will not pic up sound. I checked and it’s not muted. The mic monitoring is all the way up. And everything is updated. I’m just really confused on why it’s doing this because it was previously
    working with my last headset.

    :)

    Xbox One Controller won’t detect headset.

    Recently, my headset’s 3.5mm jack broke while plugged into my controller. I managed to pull it out without the jack falling off completely but, now my controller’s port won’t detect any headphones at all. There’s no volume slider in the settings tab nor
    does the mic/headset icon change.

    Headset: Can hear friends, but mic won't detect my voice. Tried 2 headsets. Kinect mic works!

    Hello all,

    I ran into this issue a couple of weeks ago. My mic stopped picking up my voice, but Xbox detected the mic and played back voice through the headset.

    I tried the mic on two different controllers and it wouldn't work on either. Xbox detects the mic, but it won't record any voice. So I went out and bought a brand new $20 headset - NO LUCK. The new headset doesn't work on either controller. Once again, Xbox
    detects the mic and I can hear my friends through the headset but the mic won't pickup my voice.

    My privacy settings are fine and my Kinect mic works. What in the heck is going on here? This is driving me insane!

    “We can’t find a microphone for these people”. Will there be a fix? Don't if this should be under "Post a question" or "Post a discussion"

    Just to clarify a couple things:

    The system doesn't detect the mic, but do you still hear sounds through the headset at all?

    When you connect the headset to the PC does the PC recognize the mic and you can record to the PC with it? (you can test the mic volume to see if the PC is actually registering any sound from the mic)

    The Xbox system does not detect the mic and there is no sound coming out of the headset.

    When connecting to a PC or phone the headset has sound. Although I did not test the microphone to see if it was detected at all. I will attempt that later

    I still think the issue is with the Xbox one S controller that originally came with the console.

    Headset connected to Xbox One S controller doesn't work.

    XBF Erick C,

    I'm also running into this issue. I have a gaming headset that had fully functioning audio and mic for several weeks. One day my xbox one s stopped showing that a headset or mic was detected. In the upper right corner of the dashboard I show a mic with
    a slash through it. I have tried 2 different controllers and 4 different headsets with mics. None are being detected. No sound, no mic. I have followed several online instructions from full power cycles, checking the mic on setting, checking the audio
    output headset audio checkbox, and clicking the start party option under user icon from the dashboard. So far nothing changes the mute (mic with a slash) icon in the upper righthand corner back to a headset icon. What am I missing? Also, just to cover all
    bases, both controllers are fully functioning with new batteries and are fully updated. All headsets have been checked on other devices and are fully functional. Please help!

    Headset not working

    I'm trying to start a message and I don't have the option to use a mic (it's greyed out, probably because it doesn't detect one as being plugged in.

    I can't hear any sound coming through the headset either.

    The firmware is updated and there are no updates available.

    I just checked the headset on my phone and they work perfectly fine.

    Question about Headsets and Xbox One.

    I use a BenQ Monitor with HDMI...I also have my Astros A40 plugged in and using my headset for Audio....only thing at this time is the Mic will not work with the Headset....You can use the Headset/Mic they gave for your sound and Mic as well until the adapter
    is released.
