The only thing I can hear on my xbox is chat audio. Why is this happening?

Aayan Khan · Mar 16, 2023

I can only hear the game chat and nothing else, but when no one is chatting I can hear nothing at all and it's silent. I have tried putting the volume up and down but there is no change. Please help.

Thanks

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Is your headset connected to a controller or you're using a wireless headset?

Please make sure that your Chat Mixer is set to 50%.

"Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Volume & audio output > Advanced Options > Additional Options > Chat Mixer."

This can be managed by pressing the Xbox button as well and then then the audio icon on the bottom part.

I have the x12s i get game audio just fine and i can hear chat but chat is very low, also my game audio plays through the audio, so I have game audio then have chat with the echo of game audio, so i have 2 game audio sounds with a faint chat audio. anyone
know of a way to fix this, or atleast the audio echo of the game. I can turn my game audio all the way down and only have chat audio on but im still hearing game audio over chat, first time I used it for my xbox one all day I played with just chat audio and
didnt know because I hear both audios through my chat audio.

Question, I can hear the game audio, but I cant change the chat volume, yet I can still hear my friends in party's and game chat. The only way I can change how loud there voice is to change the game volume on my X12. I tried going to preferences and voice,
but when I switch to play through headset, I don't hear my friends. Is there anyway I can change my friends voice volume? Because chat volume doesn't work on game chat and party chat.

I have a similar problem. It appears to possibly be a broken chat lead, as I checked it with my Xbox 360, with chat audio just coming through the mic, and found that I could not hear chat audio through it still, but people could hear me.

Well it works with the game audio fine, but I'm not sure.. what I'm doing right now though, is that I have the usb plugged into my 360 and I can still hear the game audio, but the only thing is that if it would still work with chat even though it's not plugged
into the one. I guess I'll just have to wait and see, but thanks for the answer
