Party Chat Issue Fortnite

franks## · Dec 22, 2019

So all of a sudden I can hear my party but they cannot hear me talking. I have done every trick in the book and after anywhere from 10-30 minutes of trying everything from altering settings on my xbox
on and my fortnite settings, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, turning the console on and off, trying other headsets and mics that i know work eventually I get it on but once I turn my console off and play again the next time it's back to, I can hear
my party but they cannot hear me. Any thoughts on what this means or how I can fix it? I would think maybe either my headset or controller are broken but why does it end up working only when it wants to after screwing around with everything for a while?

My son is having Party Chat issues and sometimes only affected with certain games, such as Fortnite.

Hello Franks,

Sorry for the issue with your headsets. Here is a list of troubleshooting to try out. Some you may have done already and some you may not have. Number 9 seems to be a temporary solution to this ongoing issue.

1.) power cycle console

2.)Go to settings> Kinect and Devices> Devices and Accessories> [...]> Assign controller to account> Update control> unassign account> test headset/chat

3.)Make sure mic is "ON" Press the home button> go to the Gear on the
menu> Audio> Turn Mic off and on. OR go to settings> Kinect and Devices> Devices and Accessories> [...]>Audio> Mic on> Adjust volume.

4.)You can test your controller if it is broken by "Buzzing" the controller. The buzz feature is connected to the headset port, and if the controller does not buzz then the port may be damaged.
[Turning on Vibration if it does not "Buzz"> Settings> Ease of Access>
Controller> Vibration Settings> Turn on Vibration].

5.)Some mics are detachable and may be damaged so try testing the headset on another device to see if it works (Example: windows 10.

Test the Headset with Skype Test or Voice Recorder). If there is an issue with using the headset on an Xbox controller, you can try using a headset adaptor.

6.) Make sure there is no Enforcement on the account.

7.) Make sure the controller is not full of dust in the headset port (you can use compressed air to clear the dust).

8..) Make sure controller is fully charged/ change battery type.

9.) Use a headset adapter or standard headphones (Main fix)

10) Soft or full console reset. (may not work all the time)

Thanks,

Brad

are you doing Xbox chat or game chat? If you are doing game chat there are issues with fortnite atm dealing with game chat but you can try to turn off and on party chat settings and make sure that within the game that you want to be in-game chat or party
chat within the lobby.

Join an Xbox party chat, go to options and switch to game chat. You can then leave the Xbox party and the fortnite party chat should work again

Hi, my name is Annanda, thank you for your question and for reaching out.

Hollie, this is not possible, okay? This can only be done with Xbox Party Chat, not with the Fortnite in-game chat.

I recommend reading through this link for more information on Party chats on Fortnite:

https://www.epicgames.com/help/c-Ca...at-options-from-the-fortnite-lobby-a000084783

But please keep in mind that this option you seek does not exist for Fortnite party chat, okay?

I hope I was able to answer your questions! Please, if you have any other doubts, we are here to help.
