  1. Old Controller Won’t Recognize Microphone


    Got two Pre-2015 controllers, the ones without the 3.5 mm jack, that won’t recognize microphones anymore. I know the mics work and I know there not muted. Right now my theory is that the microphone is in a more updated firmware and therefore the more out
    of date firmware on the older controllers won’t even recognize the thing. I have two mics and both work on a more updated controller, on the console, on the same account and even on different consoles and accounts. So like 90% sure it’s cause the firmwares
    are mismatched. The two older controllers are on like 2.3 and won’t update further, while the mics are on 3.2ish.

    Pretty much stumped so any help is appreciated.

    :)

    Heya!

    When you try and update the controllers what happens? Do you see any error messages? Is so, could you send us photos of those?

    Do other mics work on the controllers possibly a friend's mic?

    Post back and let us know and we can help troubleshoot that some more.

  6. Thanks for providing that info.

    Unfortunately, if no mics work on the controller in any scenario then the issue is not software related but controller is most likely faulty and in need of a repair or replacement.

    If you would like to look into possible repair options we suggest reaching out to the
    chat team as the warranty for the controller may be up at this time.

    We wish you the best with getting that set up!
