Party chat is going through the tv instead of mic ONLY on fortnite

Is this issue only happening in Fortnite? Does your mic work in other games?

My son and his friends had this issue recently, where the mic worked in other games but not in Fortnite. So they had to use the Xbox Party Chat instead. After 2-3 days the issue seemed to resolve itself.

Not game audio, game chat.

In settings, Xbox has an option to make party chat output go through your headset, headset and TV, or TV.

but that's only for party chat. i've always wondered why xbox can't do the same for in-game chat too?

With in game chat, if your headset is plugged in; game chat automatically goes to the headset, with no option to have it output through TV.

really sucks when you can't wear headsets, you can't play socially outside of parties. (in party chat; i use my headset mic, but have their voice output through my TV. game chat has no option to do this, you must wear your headset to hear teammates)

Obviously muting them in game is the best option, as the two above me have said, also if you are not talking to anyone at that time you can go to the options menu on the Xbox Dashboard to make sure there are only sounds coming through the mic and not the
tv, that way all you have to do is turn off the mic and you will not hear them, this also applies to party chat, if you are talking to someone, or just like wearing the mic, go into a party chat (after changing the settings so the voice only comes through
the mic) and you should no longer here some of the obnoxious people out there.

No idea. As soon as thechat mic is out of controller chat sound comes through but you have to use mic. Also as Party Chat is not working is it possible to use skype in the background instead?

I have an Xbox 1 wireless controller and a brand new Xbox 1 headset. When playing fortnite my mic will not work in game mode but will work on party mode - I have tried every posted fix i could find. I have tried other controllers. I have tried other headsets.
The issue seems to be with fortnite as it will not allow me to use my mic if i am not using the party setting.

please post a fix or a patch to resolve this issue.

From what I gather, you are wanting to be able to use the voice chat that is included in the game, instead of your Xbox Live Party. Fortunately, there is an option for this.

First, go to your Xbox Live Party. Then, go to the "Options" button, and push it. Then, press "Switch to game chat." That should solve the problem. Hope this helps!
