Party chat through Headset

Alliasjay · Jan 18, 2014

Greetings.

The annoying issue here is that when I plug in my XB1 Headset (to make use of the Mic, rather than using the Kinect) I no longer hear people in my party through my headset (Wireless). When I unplug the XB1 headset I get my party chat through my headphones.
I do not really want to have to have this XB1 headset stuck to one ear with my proper headset on the other.

Just wondering if anyone has come across a solution for this, and I cannot really solder wireless headphones to the XB1 headset, so that's not really an option. Would much prefer to just use the XB1 Headset Mic and my own Headset with party chat coming through
my own headset (as if I was using the Kinect for the Mic)

Cheers

Just got the new xbox one controller from UPS today with 3.5mm jack

When you use this controller with a headset/headphones, is the game audio preset to come through headset/headphones or just party chat....or both?

XBox One controller randomly pauses

All of this experience has come while playing Call of Duty.

My XBox One controller will randomly pause my game. This makes my party chat happen through the Kinect and I can hear the regular game chat through my headset. The same thing will happen if (while in party chat) I plug in my controller to charge (I have
the play & charge). I start a party chat & everything is fine until I plug in my charge cable and I hear my party through both my headset and Kinect. My party can only hear me through the Kinect until I exit the party and restart it. The problem happens
every hour or two when I'm in party chat while using my fully-charged controller. The game will pause and my party chat is transferred through the Kinect. I cannot hear my party through the headset & they can only hear me through the Kinect. I can then
hear only the game chat through my headset.

Thoughts?

Hi Leonidis84. I know that some gamers are using a set-up where they are using their gaming headsets as usual and have the MS headset just wrapped around their neck so that the mic is near their mouth (obviously with the adaptor plugged in to the controller).
They tell me that it works fine. The new adaptors are scheduled for release within a couple of months.

Hope that helps

Make sure the kinect can see you, and your remote. otherwise its thinking you've put it down.

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)
