I've been experiencing this. Usually occurs when I go out of range with my controller and come back into range it says my mic can't cant be detected. The same occurs when I unplug the mic and plug them back in. I can usually get the mic working again by
unplugging the mic, hitting the nexus button and going up to the party so I can see the orange warning symbol over my icon. When I can see this, I plug the mic back into the controller and the symbol disappears and I can hear people in the party again after
a few seconds.

Hey RicardoVargas4,

I have this same problem. But a quick thing I do to fix it is by unplugging my controller/ turning it off, take out the mic, turn the controller back on and plug the mic back in. Works every time for me, hope it does for you.

This issue has happened to me before as well. It seems like the controller does not recognize that the headset/mic is plugged in. I have resolved this issue by unplugging the headset from the controller, and plugging it back in and pushing the mute/unmute
button. That has always resolved my issue and the mic begins working again.
