Skype, a way to make audio come through head phones instead of tv speakers

SectorStar · Jun 13, 2014

I'm using the skype app on xbox one. Is there a way to make it to where the audio comes out of the headphone on the included head set instead of the tv speakers?

Yeah its nice to have the audo come out through the tv, but I'd like a bit more privacy when I'm not home alone.

Xbox one and surround sound

I just looked up my Xbox one to my stereo receiver via HDMI. My video comes in perfect but instead of my audio playing through my surroundsound speakers the audio plays through my television speakers instead. When I had my Xbox 360 hooked up the same way
I was able to get sound through my surroundsound speakers. has anyone else had this problem? If so, please help.

My XBOX One Doesnt Want to Install The Audio and I have Tried All the Options Available, I dont know What Am I doing wrong :/

Are you by chance using a surround sound head unit or sound bar for audio instead of the TV's internal speakers? Also, are you trying to utilize a headset brand like Turtle Beaches or simply trying to get the audio to play through the television's speakers?

Skype should automatically route your audio through the headset when it is connected otherwise it will use Kinect and TV. What headset are you using? The console default or one you purchased?

Sorry to hear it. Can you please head to Settings to make sure that the chat is coming out of the TV speakers instead of the headset? Most likely that is what is causing the issue.

I really hope Microsoft sees this thread and updates the Xbox One's audio settings so that your own voice comes through both the tv speakers and the headset. As a new Youtuber I am very disappointed that I cannot record my own voice on my videos without
splitting and splicing wires from my headset and controller so that my voice is transmitted through my tv speakers and recorded along with my game and party chat audio from friends. I am using an Elgato Game Capture Card and it only records audio that comes
through your tv speakers. Since the Xbox One only allows my voice to come through my headset and not my tv speakers I am unable to record my own voice. So this method of splitting wires and using the Kinect microphone causes a reduced quality and an increased
echo to my voice audio, making my videos have an overall horrible sound to them. By having my voice audio go through both my headset and tv speakers I would be able to record my voice with good quality. If Microsoft truly cares about it's consumers and making
the Xbox One an "all in one" media center with social media support then it really needs to make the change in allowing players to have their voice chat audio go through both the headset and tv speakers in its next update.

they will not solve your problem. there is no solution and they are **** on it.

if it is to be recorded, sets the audio to come out on the TV speaker. stream and stream your audio through a smartphone.
