px4 headset

Hi there,

it's me again...

I did further check and here is my findings:

If I use the PX4 without plugging it the controller, I can hear my friend. As soon as I plug it, I cannot hear them.

Which mean that the voice works via the Bluetooth connection of the headset but not via controllers.

The original headset send and receive the voice via the controllers.

There are two solutions:

-1 my cable between headset and controller cannot receive the voice and can only send it as my friends are able to hear me.

-2 The PX4 has to receive the voice from the Bluetooth and not via the controllers, which mean it's a software issue.

Did anyone else is using that Headset and has it working in party?

Did anyone had that issue with another headset and fix it? if yes, how?

Is this a known issue that MS will fix in a next coming update?

Regards

I picked up the PX4 over Christmas and just got around to trying them out. Initially experienced the same problems as most have described here.

To resolve the issue, I upgraded the controller software while leaving the PX4 + Adapter and chat cable plugged in. After the update, I'm no longer seeing sound cut off sporadically. However, there was still some echo'ing of the sound etc. This appears
to happen primarily due to the fact that the game audio is transmit to the PX4 wirelessly and then again from the adapter (on controller). The simplest solution was to first turn down the PX4 volume via the dial on the headset, and then hit the chat-audio
button (bottom left) on the adapter until it was maxed out (thus cutting out all game audio from controller completely). The volume controls on the adapter still let you control the chat volume independantly... so you can now use that to adjust it to your
liking. Next, adjust the game volume via the dial on the headset and you're done.

Chat audio and game audio appears to be working perfectly after the above procedure.

Enjoy.

Im using turtle beach px4's and don't seem to be having the issue. I have to turn on the game sound 'on the adapter' and then turn up the volume for the game sound on the headset, The chat volume is a good level, but obvisouly I can't have the game level
a really loud setting as the third party headset is amplified allot more than the headset Microsoft produce.

I have been having the same problems with my turtle beach Px4s and was thinking maybe my audio settings are incorrect . What audio settings are recommended for the Px4s ?

There has to be a list somewhere of headsets that are going to be fully compatible (audio AND voice) with the next-gen consoles. I heard Turtle Beach is coming out with the PX4s that will work right off the bat with the PS4. It is releasing the same day.
I also heard no headset will work with the Xbox One until they release that adapter which isn't coming until 2014.
