The newer controller

so far, every pair of headphones i have plugged into the controller have allowed mic monitoring, and you can directly control the mic monitoring volume via the side menu.

Microphone Monitoring

Do you have an XB1?

Do you use a headset?

Are you one of the many that can't hear their own voice through the headset whilst playing/chat?

Do you find yourself yelling at your buddies whilst playing/chatting?

The phenomena that we are missing from the XB1 is called 'Side Tone' or Mic monitoring,

Mic monitoring allows you to hear your own voice at the same level as that of your buddies.

"So how do we make that happen?" I hear you ask,

Check the side window at the home screen. There are a few settings for the Headset Mic and Mic Monitoring right there. Also what Headset are you using with the Stereo Adapter?

Hi Donavan,

Thanks for coming to the forums. Unfortunately, there is no way of turning off mic monitoring. You can adjust it to the far left side. This is the lowest setting. If not wanting the mic to be heard at all you can also just turn the mic off.

Thanks,

Brad

Hey Readyer,

You can adjust the sensitivity for your party chat by pressing the Home button and going to the
System tab. You will be given 3 different sliders Headset Volume, Headset Chat Mixer, and Mic Monitoring. My Razer headset's mic is extremely sensitive so I have to tone down my monitoring, you might want to go the opposite way. Find a sweet
spot for your headset and you should be good to go. Let us know if this helps!
