Hi There,

See if there is anything in the trouble shooter that can help you out.

If you can hear others in a party or game but they can't hear you, try these solutions.

Solution 1: Make sure your headset is not muted

Check that the orange LED light next to the mute button is not on.

Solution 2: Power cycle your Xbox One console

For help, see How to restart or power cycle your Xbox One console.

Solution 3: Re-associate your controller with your profile

1. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
2. Select System > Settings > Kinect & devices > Devices & accessories.
3. Under Assigned to, choose your gamertag.

Solution 4: Verify the NAT type for your network

Network Address Translation (NAT) lets you hide your IP address from devices that are not on your network. For more info about NAT, see the "Current network status" section at Network
settings on Xbox One.

Solution 5: Test your Xbox One Chat Headset

To test the headset, start a party (requires internet connectivity) to test the audio:

1. Sign in to Xbox Live on your Xbox One console.
2. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
3. Under Multiplayer, select Start a party. (You don't need to invite anyone for this test.)
4. Make sure your mic is not muted in party chat.

Note You can use the Y button  on your controller to toggle mute on or off.

1. Make sure your headset is not muted and that the volume is turned up.
2. Speak into the microphone. If your headset is working, you’ll see the ring around your gamerpic light up.

If you still can't hear your friends online after you've started a party, but you can hear sound while using in-game chat or another app like Skype, see You
can't switch to party chat on Xbox One.

Hello WilledJupiter8,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

We understand that you are trying to use your single jack headset for PC gaming and is unable to hear the voices of your friends. Let us check on this together so you will get back to gaming.

Based on your description, you can hear the music and sound but not the voices. There could be an issue with compatibility, third party apps that has settings for audio or system/apps/drivers needs to be updated or could be anything related to the headset that is disabling specific sound to be outputted. To have a better understanding, we would like to further isolate your concern.

1. May we ask what is the make and model of your headset?
   
2. When was the last time you can hear a voice from these apps or services - Discord or Skype or games? .
   
3. Are we playing Xbox games or different storefront games?
   
4. Is the driver for the audio up to date? We will provide steps on how to update the system and apps below, please check.
   
5. Test if these works. May we know if the issue persists when:
   
   • Connecting the controller and headset, go to audio settings and output the audio through PC speakers.
     
   • Connecting the headset to PC and output audio to headset.
     
   • Connecting the headset to PC and output the audio to PC speakers.
