My Xbox One Kinect doesn't work for multiplayer chat but can hear voice commands?

@Mister Urkel - same issue here, here is my setup.

I am using a Tritton Gears of War 5.1 Surround headset. The mic cable on this was designed to work on Xbox 360, so the microphone isn't plugged in at all. Which is good, because then there's no way for the headset to interfere with the Kinect.

The headset is plugged in to the Optical Out on the back of the Xbox One. The Mic Cable doesn't interact with the system at all, it actually connects to a little volume control which is about halfway between the headset and the mixer box. So, the mic cable
isn't plugged in at all.

Now, with the "Use Kinect for Chat" option turned on, when I go into CoD Ghosts multiplayer, the Kinect Mic does not work. I can issue Voice Commands and participate in Party Chat, however the regular "in-game voice" does not work. So, if I'm just talking
to people in a free-for-all match, they don't hear me (also, there is no Microphone icon next to my name in the lobby.) If I plug in my wired Xbox Headset that came with the One, I can be heard, but the audio goes to the Xbox headset, so I can't hear other
voices in my headphones anymore.

I've been having issues with the Kinect mic. Twice now, the "Xbox On" command has worked, but then the Kinect has failed to recognize commands. It still hears things as shown by the mic calibration tool, but just doesn't do anything. A hard reset gets it
working again, but it's frustrating when this update was supposed to improve voice commands.

The Xbox Kinect can already be "Turned One" by voice. Here is a list of the commands

Doesn't the new Kinect have voice recognition as well? So if one person signs in by saying "Xbox on", the Kinect will only respond to their voice commands?

Hi Rgiskard,

sorry to hear.Maybe a misunderstanding or false Country or because my One works with INSIDER?? Here my Kinect still work?? And I found this at the XBOX Support

"Where is cortana?"

f you have a Kinect connected to your Xbox One, you can use

Xbox voice commands. This means you can use commands like “Xbox, go home,” “Xbox, pause,” and “Xbox, record that” to control your console. If you were previously using Cortana voice commands, you’ll automatically switch over to Xbox voice commands.

If you haven’t used voice commands before, go to
Settings > Devices & Streaming >
Kinect to enable.

Hope this helps and please keep us informed.
