My headset microphone quit working. It works fine on my Nintendo so what happened?

We just purchased a HyperX Cloud Stinger Core headset for our XBox One, and the microphone will NOT work in the game Fortnite. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so, what was the fix? It is only happening in Fortnite. The microphone
works fine when plugged into my phone or in XBox Party mode. The sound works in Fortnite, but not the microphone.

Fortnite is the best game ever

It's a wireless headset, and I only have one controller. I got this headset since my last one got damaged after years of use, and this new headset connects to my Xbox just fine, it's the headset's microphone that isn't working. Plus this headset is quite different than my previous one, which was a Turtle Beach Stealth 600, so I'm not sure if I can isolate anything.

Yup, that was one of the first things I checked. Kinect mic works fine, headsets don't . Even tried a pair of HTC microphones for my phone in the controller because I know they definitely work, and nothing happened on either controller.

This has happened to me now, twice. I got the Titanfall edition Xbox One, about 2 months after I got it the headset out of no where stopped working. I could hear people through it, turn the volume up and down and hear the beeps but the microphone portion
would not pick up my voice. The Kinect would work just fine though. So after that happened I went and purchased the Microsoft issued headset adapter to use Xbox 360 headsets. It seemed to work well for a while until last night. My batteries died on the controller
and when I replaced them with new fully charged ones the headset again stopped working. I was using a Phillips telephone headset which worked on my 360 for 4 years no problem, and used it on the Xbox One with the adapter for about 3 months and it just stopped
working like the original one did. So with frustration, I got my friend to bring over his known working headset and controller, linked it up to my console and tested my microphones and adapter. None would work. I plugged his headset in my controller and it
worked. Okay so you narrow your problems down. It's not your controller, it's not your Kinect or any settings within. So I thought the adapter went bad. Well luckily I had an original Xbox 360 headset that still worked. So I plugged that in to the adapter
and it worked. So right there that tells the adapter didn't go bad. Right away I switched back to my old headsets to see if the problem was still there and to my surprise the headsets did not work. So right now I am still using my adapter with an Xbox 360
headset working fine. So I am completely baffled as to what this issue it. I do not abuse my equipment at all, it just stops working.
