My Xbox headset isn't working. No it's not muted, nor is the Xbox setting on mute. I've...

Yes, the Kinect is not the issue. Even with the Kinect unplugged the mics are still muted for everyone.

On my old Elite Xbox 360 I could hear everyone through my tv fine. I had no headset though but it was ok because I could still hear people. Now on this new Kinect slim 360 the game won't let me hear anyone through my headset or mic. I They're muted because
their names have the muted icon beside them, which is the symbol of a speaker with a red x on it.

This can be done manually, I would mute loud or annoying players myself. But now with this Kinect 360 it seems like they're ALL muted (maunally) although I have not set them to be muted. Nothing comes out of my tv or headset. When I first played I could
hear them and myself but that was when I realized it was using the Kinect's mic. I didn't like that so I disabled the Kinect mic in the 360 settings. That was all I did.

Now the game does not recognize my headset either nor will it let me hear them. It's something with this Kinect. I've tried plugging it back in, unplugging it, plugging my headset in with kinect unplugged, plugging my headset in with Kinect plugged, it
just doesn't work anymore and I've gone through all the game menus and settings, there isn't a real section for "mic settings" ..you can't really do anything in CoD settings besides muting single players and like I said they're already muted. I've tried unmuting
them but there is no change and the X remains over their speaker beside their names.

Hi Joseph, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

I have already seen several users with the same problem, apparently it is a generic problem that several people are having, the best thing I can recommend at this time is to help Microsoft by reporting the problem.

https://support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status

Click the green "Report" button and fill out the information as detailed as possible.

This way, Xbox will know there is a problem and can work to fix it as soon as possible.

Please note that in this public forum we are only players like you trying to guide and help other players. We are not Microsoft employees.

I appreciate your understanding and hope the issue is resolved soon.

Also, have you checked to see if the settings, such as the volume of the headset is turned up all the way or if it's on mute? Someone might be using a headset that isn't compatible or someone is muted. To me, it might be someone is muted either your son
or the friend but I could be wrong on that. But check out the headphone settings just to be sure!

Would LOVE to see this. Or, if not possible, to sell something the headset plugs into with a quick toggle mute button. Finding the tiny mute button on headset cords isn't ideal either and half the time doesn't work...

Sir Lancealot 83.

The microphone is muted, not the headset.

The headset and microphone works on another xbox and controller.

I have tried it on 2 controllers on the bone that is muted.
