    Party Chat Microphone not working regardless of headset/controller/xbox


    Hi everyone, Sorry if this is the wrong place or has been repeated 1000

    times before but im at my wits end and have tried every step suggested

    in any archived posts i could find. So my friends just bought a new xbox

    one x, previously had an xbox one. A little while ago he suddenly

    couldnt talk to anyone not just me on party chat, can hear us fine etc

    but we cant hear him and on the odd occasion we hear what sounds like

    occasional talking with some feedback as if its a dodgy jack, so sounds

    simple...new headset/pad right? well weve tried new headsets, new pads,

    combinations of both, adapter headsets, stereo headsets that go straight

    in the jack, and now on christmas day a new xbox entirely...same issue.

    Hes even tried bringing his xbox round to mine to see if its a network

    issue at his place etc but nothing same deal. Does anyone have any

    experience of something like this before and if so.....what do we do?

    hes not very technical minded so ive posted for him, any help or advice?

    (at this point im expecting "contact MS Support" etc if so fair enough)

    Thanks for taking the time to read, Happy Holidays.

    :)

    Xbox headset mic won't work

    My Xbox One's included chat headset and microphone recently stopped working. When in Party or Game Chat, I can hear others but no sound is being broadcast from my microphone, so I was forced to switch to using my Kinect as mic. I purchased a replacement
    headset and the same problem persists. I have attempted every troubleshooting step with the exception of attempting to plug in and update my wireless controller via a USB cable, because for some reason when I plug in the controller with a USB and attempt to
    check on a software update the Xbox tells me there is no controller connected with a USB. Regardless, the console reads my controller as "No Update Required" when connected wirelessly, and the controller works flawlessly, so I'm guessing that a software update
    is not the problem. Not sure if this is necessary info, but the firmware for my headset seems to be version 4.9.0.0. So, in brief:

    1. The microphone on my Xbox One's included Chat Headset is not working, though I can hear others fine thru the headset. I purchased a replacement and encountered the same problem.

    2. The Xbox won't recognize my Wireless controller when plugged in via USB, only when connected wirelessly.

    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    Microsoft Xbox One Chat Headset Microphone Stops Working

    Hello,

    This summer we have had 3 Microsoft Xbox One chat headset microphones stop working and 1 Microsoft Xbox One Stereo headset microphone stop working.

    I have tried multiple Xbox One controllers and separate Xbox One console to verify the microphone no longer works.

    Is there some known issue of how these headsets need to be plugged in or unplugged from the controller that could be zapping the microphone? Do we have to have the controller turned on or off before inserting the plug into the controller?

    This just seems ridiculous that we keep loosing the microphone capability of these headsets.

    Xbox one stuck on mute

    Has the headset ever worked before on the Xbox One controller?

    If the headset works on other devices (e.g. smartphone), but has never worked on the Xbox, the plug on the headset might be different from the CTIA standard the Xbox requires.

    There are two headset plug standards: CTIA and OMTP. For both, the microphone and ground connector are reversed. So if you plug an OMTP plug into a Xbox controller, the controller is "listening" for a microphone on the ground connector, and the headset is
    sending the microphone signal to the controller's ground.

    You can resolve this by buying a cheap OMTP to CTIA adapter, which simply switches the connectors.

    If the headset worked on the Xbox before, ask your son to compose a voice message. Have him record the voice message and listen to it. If the microphone works for the voice message, but is muted during party chat, your son might accidentally muted the partychat
    and/or himself by pressing X on the party menu.

    Broken microphone

    The microphone does not work in any games nor does it work in party chats. The headset is the standard headset that comes with an xbox purchase.

    Astro A50's not working in party chat or game chat on Backwards Compatible games

    Does the headset work on Xbox One Party chat (i.e. do you see a circle around your gamerpic in the party chat on Xbox One)?

    Are only Backwards compatible games affected? If so, it might be that the Astro A50 base station acts as a USB microphone, which doesn't work as Chat microphone on the Xbox 360.

    You might have to contact the Astro A50 support for information on how to use that headset on backwards compatible titles.
    Yeah it works on the Xbox One party chat but yeah that's what i was thinking i might just have to get a old Xbox One chat headset for it to work.

    i have muted myself???

    Try this:

    Check the Kinect microphone setting

    If you’re using the microphone in the Kinect sensor for chat, make sure no headsets are connected to your console (wired or wireless). Then, make sure the chat microphone on the Kinect sensor is on.

    To turn on the Kinect chat microphone:

    Sign into Xbox LIVE.

    Press the Guide button on your controller.

    Select Chat & IM.

    Make sure the Kinect microphone is set to On.

    disable microphone on x box

    Hey, JuryChalice3007!

    From my understanding, you would like to turn off your microphone on either a Kinect device or a headset connected to your Xbox console. I may need some more information to be as helpful as possible. For starters, I need to know if this is an Xbox 360 or
    an Xbox One. I will also need to know if it is on a Kinect device or a headset, and if it is a headset then I will need to know which one. Regardless, here is what I can offer you based on the information I do have.

    To turn off the Kinect microphone on the Xbox One, it is as simple as going to your settings and selecting Kinect. From there you will see the option to deselect the 'Kinect microphone for chat' option. Voice commands will still work, but no one will hear
    you in party or in-game.

    There are multiple microphones that work with the Xbox One and as such, there may be multiple ways to disable it. I will link a guide to Chat headset below.
