My Xbox wireless headset is randomly muting party chat

yep I do the same keep my headset on mute unless i'm in my party chat

My Turtle Beach 500x headset has completely wireless DTS 7.1 surround sound and completely wireless chat. But have to plug in a chat cable to use the headset for chat, on Xbox 360 because of the proprietary (is it proprietary?)jack the Xbox 360 controller
has or something.

Turtle Beach Support said the stealth 500x would not work with Xbox 360 but it does! Xbox Support (yay) said Xbox 360 supports DTS 7.1 surround sound. I've seen others too say the headset works on PS4 too. I paid NZ$358 for the headset and I like it. RRP
for the headset is US$229. PS to use chat on Xbox 360 with the headset, you need to attach a chat cable which you can get from a turtle beach distributor and you use the volume/mute on/mute off switches on the chat cable not the headset, to use it to chat
on Xbox 360. My friends say I sound normal and clear and loud and like it. Sometimes you can sound tin-ny with completely wireless chat headsets. But not with the 500x.

If you're asking about wireless chat, it is not possible. The Warhead is the only 3rd party headset licensed to use the Xbox 360's wireless chat headset protocol; the Xbox One has different chat connections (and I don't think there are any wireless
options yet).

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

Currently, I plug the headset in, mute the mic, turn the volume down, and set it to the side. I wish there was a way to mute player chat entirely like on 360.

Party chat might work too, just be in a party of one if possible and nothing will intrude hopefully.
