  1. Problems with the expansion port?


    Whenever I put the adapter into the controller, the adapter doesn't light up and when I plug my headset in no sound comes out. I have the Microsoft adapter as well as the Polk adapter that came with the striker zx headset and have the same problem with
    those. I've plugged the headset into my phone and works fine. Anyone have this problem before and know any solutions ? I just don't want to buy a new controller if there's an easy fix.

    :)

    Forza 6 NASCAR expansion unplayable, corrupting local save

    Hey Evi1Bo1weevi1

    Thanks for your response - so just to confirm that if you have the expansion uninstalled you can play the game normally?

    If this is the case, it sounds like there may be an issue with the expansion file itself and this may be something for the publishers to deal with. I would uninstall the expansion for now so that you can play the game, and I will look into if anyone has
    had other problems with this expansion and get back to you.

    Is that okay with you?

    Let's hope we can get this sorted for you soon, I understand how frustrating it must be. Problems with the expansion port? :(

    latest patch breaks xbox one live connection.

    I uninstalled the expansion packs and left the pass installed.

    The dark below content still worked because the expansion pass was installed

    I was able to play for 4 hours last night and had no problems.

    It's too early to say if that is the cause as it just could be coincidence.

    But if you own the expansion pass and have also installed the individual expansions just uninstall them as the expansion pass is all that is needed to use the expansions. The individual expansions are only 9MB files anyway. They are probably just unlock
    keys and can be deleted if you have the expansion pass installed.

    I'll be playing Destiny again tonight so will have to see if it happens again. Hopefully it wont.

    Problems with the expansion port?

    Hey there!

    It sounds like you've done a fair amount of troubleshooting to narrow it down to your controller. Do you happen to have a second controller to test this with? That will help confirm if it is indeed an issue with that controller.

    In the meantime, I recommend cleaning the connector with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol and testing again.

    Keep us posted! Problems with the expansion port? :)

    xbox 1s controller

    Hi RichardSellwood,

    That port that is next to the 3.5mm jack is the expansion port. This is for allowing a better experience with the controller by being able to attach a mini keyboard to the controller or a stereo headphone expansion. This is not a USB port and there is nothing
    that I have seen that will allow for turning it into a USB port.

    In order for your son to use the USB lighting function of the headphones (which I have as well), you would need to plug it into an actual USB port on the system or get a small USB battery that you can plug it into.

    I hope this helps!

    Stereo Adapter

    I think you are wrong, with the headset adapter the jack of the headset is plugged into the adapter which use the expansion port on the controller to transmit the audio. The broken jack port on the controller will not be used anymore.

    As far as I know it is a Microsoft exclusive expansion port only used for chat pads and the stereo headset adapter.

    The new expansion card for Xbox Series X

    Wouldn't you just plug the external hard drive into a USB port on the console and then move the files to the expansion card?
