non-party audio coming through tv, despite “mute speaker audio when headset attached” turned on

Hello there Kai, if you have a tv + speakers and want to use a headset instead you simply need to go to settings > volume & audio output > hdmi audio > headset format. If that does not sork you can go into additional options and check the ‘’mute speaker audio when headset attached’’ and party output to headset instead of speakers.

Hope you have an amazing rest of your day!

Best regards

If using headset for game audio and chat, mute the TV or any device your game and chat audio is coming through and make sure 'chat' is set to output through headset only. If you have your tv volume up in the background while you're on the headset there
will probably be echoing especially if you have your party audio set to output through your TV.

When you plug a headset into the controller, it doesn't automatically mute the TV speakers. Both audio sources (headset, TV speakers) continue to play. You may have had the TV muted or HDMI/Optical audio disabled while you were using the headset and troubleshooting
your audio.

Hi RyanWill,

I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the mic/headset audio. I understand that is really frustrating for you and your party.

Is this through your Xbox console, or are you playing with PC? Are all the headsets being used Wireless? The mic should not pick up the sounds coming from the headset.

Check to make sure you don't have the chat / audio coming from the TV / Monitor as well as the headset, which can provide feedback to your party.

Here's how to manage your sound settings and turn off audio from your TV or Monitor:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
   
2. Navigate to your profile, then select Settings
   
3. Under General, navigate to Volume & audio output
   
4. Under Advanced, select Additional options
   
5. Under Party chat output select Headset
   

From there you can check the box that says "Mute speaker audio when headset is attached" or check other settings from the Volume options drop downs. I personally have my Chat mixer setting at "Reduce the volume of other sounds by 50%"

I really hope Microsoft sees this thread and updates the Xbox One's audio settings so that your own voice comes through both the tv speakers and the headset. As a new Youtuber I am very disappointed that I cannot record my own voice on my videos without
splitting and splicing wires from my headset and controller so that my voice is transmitted through my tv speakers and recorded along with my game and party chat audio from friends. I am using an Elgato Game Capture Card and it only records audio that comes
through your tv speakers. Since the Xbox One only allows my voice to come through my headset and not my tv speakers I am unable to record my own voice. So this method of splitting wires and using the Kinect microphone causes a reduced quality and an increased
echo to my voice audio, making my videos have an overall horrible sound to them. By having my voice audio go through both my headset and tv speakers I would be able to record my voice with good quality. If Microsoft truly cares about it's consumers and making
the Xbox One an "all in one" media center with social media support then it really needs to make the change in allowing players to have their voice chat audio go through both the headset and tv speakers in its next update.
