my headset only receives party chat audio but will not receive in game audio but my aufio...

Update: a workaround has been confirmed...

1. If using a wireless headset like I am most often doing, use a male-to-male microphone (aux) cable from the controller to either audio in on your computer OR to audio in on the capture device. Note: I have confirmed that both my Xbox wireless headset AND a wired headset simultaneously plugged into my controller both receive the same audio.

2. If using a wired headset, purchase an Elgato Chat Link cable (or equivalent Y-cables, etc) to achieve the same result as above, where the audio from the controller is split.

Ultimately, since game chat audio cannot currently be configured like Party Chat audio and it can only be sent by the console to the controller/headset, the audio needs to be captured from there.

Would prefer not to have a cord coming off my controller, but this is the only solution I've found so far!

The OFFICAL Wireless Xbox Headseat is CHAT ONLY. There is no way to get game audio out of the headset.

So game audio=Tv

Chat/Party=Headset

Hi there Ka Kase,

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with audio settings for a headset.

In order to receive the audio settings through the Xbox, you will need to plug in the headset to the controller. Once you connect the headset to the controller you will be able to change any audio settings such as the Party chat volume. Unfortunately, when
you connect the headset to the tv you will only receive the audio from the TV.

Check out these articles:

• Set up and troubleshoot your Xbox One Stereo Headset

Try this out and let us know the results.

Your headset will only be capable of receiving game audio. You will not be able to use it for chat until the adapter is released sometime next year.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you want to chat through the headset and game audio should be on the speakers.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please access audio settings by pressing the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide. Navigate to Profile & System > Settings > General > Volume & Audio Output.

Under the Volume section, look for Party Chat Output.

Select Headset for party chat audio to come through your headset only.

And for the game audio output. Make sure that your Audio Setup is configured to output game audio through your TV speakers. You might need to select the appropriate audio format under Speaker Audio (e.g., Stereo Uncompressed).

Next is to go to Discord audio settings. In the Discord app on your Xbox, check if there are any specific audio settings that allow you to route voice chat separately.

Once everything is done, start a game and join a Discord voice chat to confirm that party chat is coming through your headset and game audio is playing through your TV speakers.

Thank you for your cooperation.
