My usb Microphone Rode NT-USB is not working on xbox why?

The Dashboard team added support for third party USB webcams so that is why you are finding that they work whereas the same is not true for USB microphones except for maybe the Xbox specific branded USB mic.

You would need a CTIA adapter that splits the controller plug into a headset component and the Microphone component. Something

like this for example.

Then plug any stand up mic of your choice into the 3.5mm microphone plug.

If you want a professional microphone with XLR plug, you would need an
XLR to 3.5mm adapter.

A good audio microphone with 3.5mm jack would be the
Rode Video Mic Pro.

Just be aware that USB microphones do NOT work on the Xbox One.

Hello Travis Harper,



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



I speculated that the microphone driver might be causing the problem, so try going to the microphone manufacturer's website, downloading the appropriate driver, installing it, and checking to see if the problem can be fixed.

If you find that the problem persists after the latest version of the driver is installed, it is recommended that you download the old version of the driver to try it. You can also obtain the corresponding driver directly from the microphone support staff.

Also, if possible, try to connect your microphone to another device for testing, this is to ensure that your microphone itself is not malfunctioning. If you find the same problem in all your devices, this is evidence that there may be a malfunction in McCann-fung that needs to be repaired.

However, if you find that the problem only appears in the computer you are currently using, and you have already performed the program of re-installing the driver, I think it is necessary for you to update or re-install the USB driver for your computer, if necessary, check whether there is a foreign body in the interface, whether there is a poor contact fault.

Not all USB microphones works on Xbox, you may need to search for compatible microphones

Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

Hey, Spinkzypoo, how are you today? Hope you're well.

This is happening on the console?

If it is, unfortunately, the console only recognizes, primarily, the mic attached to the headset, the console doesn't work properly with USB mic's or even USB headset's for that matter. So, unfortunately, there's no way for you to use that USB mic with your headset connected.
