Party audio quiet but I have volume to the max

I can get Party Audio to work just fine, but I cant find or configure it so that the console or game audio goes through my Earbuds and not my TV. My headset volume to close to max.

Have you checked all the console's audio settings to make sure they have not changed? It sounds to me as if the party chat volume has been turned down or the mixer has been changed to reduce the volume (or something...I don't have my console on to check what settings are there)

i have checked the console audio settings and i haven't ever touched it, so doesn't make sense as to why it would all of a sudden stop working now. I have played around with the chat mixer, so i know for sure that isn't the issue as i have put the slider all the way across to the party leaving nothing on the game volume and i can either not hear my friends or ever so faintly. whereas if the slider is completely across all the way on the left, the game volume is incredibly loud.

When i put my turtle beach mic adapter in my controller, i can control the mixer from there, ad once again once the parties at full volume, i cant hear anything, as once its at full volume and you try to increase it even more it makes a beep noise to indicate to you that it is at max, whereas now even when i try put the party to full volume, that beep noise to indicate me that it is at full volume is also very quiet, whereas before it beeped loudly.

so im sure i do have the right settings for audio, but to clarify even more, if you could list all the setting ti should be on that would be great. but i have watched YouTube videos and applied all the recommended settings and have had a friend of mine sit in the party whilst i test each and every setting to see if i can hear him, or if he is loud.

have you tried starting a party and go into that party and checking your audio settings. i reckon you have scrolled all your game volume to mute and party chat 100 percent on the volume bar

I have the same issue when using the kinect sensor and the factory mic. I'm confused as two of my friends say that whether they use the sensor or headset to talk, the game volume scales based on whether or not someone is talking. (Game volume goes down when
someone talks in the party, and then returns to normal when noone is speaking.) My game audio is not only quiet but also flat when in party.

I just don't understand how we have two drastically different functionality. Just chiming in in hopes to assist in giving information so this can be fixed.

On any headset that has its own volume controller, you should set that controller to max volume. Then use the adapters controls to set your chat, and game audio volume to more suitable levels.

Adjusting both controls can lead to odd audio problems as StainableDog describes.
