No sound on headset or mic for XO Three Gaming Headset Wired connected to a wireless controller

The "mic" you're referring to is the boom mic that plugs into the headset.



The mic I'm referring to is the chat system that allows one to talk to other players. Normally, that's supported by a wired mic cable that goes from the 360 controller to other headsets. On all other 360 headsets, a cable is required from the base of the
360 controller to the headset for chat. Even the wireless Astro A50 has a mic cable port to go to the 360 controller.



On the Tritton Warhead, that's all done wirelessly, same as the Microsoft Wireless Mic for 360 works. Tritton integrated the wireless mic into the headset base unit so that the headset can be completely wireless - no wired mic cable going to the controller.



It's the wired mic cable that the Tritton Warhead lacks that is the problem. There will be no way for the Warhead's base unit to sync its wireless mic with the Xbox One.



If all you want to do is use the Warhead as a wireless headset without a mic, it will be fine. If you want mic support, it won't.

Is the headset wired or wireless? If the headset is wired, it could be an issue with the cable connecting the headset to the controller.

I am buying the Xbox mic tonight and hope that this works but, in this solution you gave me is to buy an adapter makes the wireless wired or in other words return the astros A20 and buy a headset that has a controller adapter to connect to the headset..
How can I use a wireless headset? I will find out tonight if this works with the original headset mic for Xbox.

Check the connection of your mic if you use a wired headset. If it is wireless, be sure your batteries are fresh. Also, unplug your headset from your controller and connect it again. Usually, one of these are the cause. I hope this helps.

Hi Degalon!

Did you purchase the headset brand new or pre-owned?

My friend had this issue a few days ago when connecting a wireless headset, the wireless headset would automatically get set to the second quadrant, and it would show a headset plugged in even when it is not.

I found this post elsewhere, it may be of some help to you, but if the headset was bought brand new this might not apply.

"The inside of the mic input on all 360 controllers can get warped from using a wired headset. When it warps, it causes the metal to create a bridge when the mic is removed. The controller thinks the mic is still plugged in when it's removed, because of
this bridge. A wired mic will take priority over a wireless mic. When you go to connect your wireless mic to a controller that is bridged, it will just move over to the next available quadrant."

Get back to me with information regarding the purchase of your headset, in the meantime ill try and dig up some more information regarding this matter.
