Streaming to computer: controller and headset issues

We are a huge fan of being able to stream your xbox one to a computer..! Yay!

However, we are unsure of the best way to connect the headset and controller.

Does the headset connect to the computer? Or does it stay in the controller?

Does the controller hook up to the computer (we get an error saying there is no controller connected)?

If we play xbox one on the television, we can use the headset through the controller and hear/chat with no problems.

But if we stream to a computer, we can't seem to both hear and chat.. We can usually at least hear.

We have the headset still hooked up to the controller, and the controller is still connected to the xbox one.

How can we stream to a computer and still hear/chat?

Chat Settings while streaming xbox one to windows 10

I use the streaming feature on my Win10 computer every so often, I've never had to connect my controller to my computer and never had any issues using the chat (xbox one isnt too far from my computer).
This recently (2 weeks ago or so) when I enabled streaming the chat feature wasnt working on my headset that's attached to the controller. It now was sending the chat audio to my win10 default audio output. Once I turned off the streaming chat resumed on my
headset. Is there anyway to make chat input and output always come out from the controller / xbox rather than windows.

TLR - can the XBOX App stream only video so I can use my headset for audio and chat from my controller thats still wirelessly connected to my XBOX One

 

Controller Battery Life/Disconnecting When Streaming

When connecting the Xbox One controller to my computer via USB and streaming via the Windows 10 app, an Xbox notification pops up indicating that the battery in the controller is low and the controller continuously disconnects. When not streaming, the same
batteries appear to have full power on the Xbox One and experience no disconnecting issues. Using standard AA Duracell batteries. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Ok, so I figured out that to get game audio/chat to work while streaming, we had to hook the controller up to the computer we are streaming to via USB. The headset stayed plugged into the controller. Yay! Game audio AND chat!

NEXT PROBLEM: there seems to be no way to control game volume/chat volume while streaming. We have mute chat at the top, but that is all. The computer volume controls do not affect the stream, and the volume controls on the controller adapter also seem to
do nothing.

How do you control game/chat volume while streaming?

 

I stream quite a lot to my laptop when my daughter is watching Netflix and you don't need to connect your controller to the computer unless you are physically to far from the xbox (I'm in the same room). when the error comes up just click continue and as
long as the controller is connected to the xbox then you can play as you normally would albeit using you computer to see whats going on.

Hope this helps

We are also playing in the same room. If we try to keep the controller hooked up to the xbox one with the headset hooked up to the controller, when we start streaming the audio completely cuts out of the headset.. Not sure what is going on. I'll try again
today to verify that..
