Turn off avr for headset to work?

I have cable box>x1>denon 1513>tv I have turtle beach x12 hooked up to headphone jack on tv & usb hooked up to back of tv. While playing titanfall i have to turn off the avr to get sound from headset otherwise i get nothing. Anyone experience something
like this? Also i have a homemade adapter but my mic is not working. Im assuming the soldering i did on the mic wires did not hold or could this be something else? maybe a software problem? Because I do get sound from the headset. Thanks for any help.

:)

 

Mic test?

Any other options for a mic test? I have TBX12's with a home made adapter. I have no problem getting game sound to my headset but the mic is not working. Wish i could test mic without having to go into a lobby. I soldered the wires together myself, I
might just have to re-solder. Also I have to turn off my avr to get sound from my headset. I have them plugged into my tv's headphone jack. Anyone know why I would have to turn off avr to get sound from headset?

 

Xbox One IR Blaster commands

Hi there,

I too am interested in this: the XB1 should send discrete power On and Off commands, not simply power toggle. What's the latest news on this issue?

Also, I have a few suggestions for the Xbox One Developers/Team:

1) Assuming XB1 is in Instant-On mode, saying "Xbox On" should turn on the console only. Saying "Xbox Everything On" or "Xbox All On" should turn on everything (XB1 console, TV, cable/set-top box, A/V receiver, etc.). Similarly for Off.

2) Using the controller, pressing the Xbox button (or holding the Xbox button for a short time--e.g., 1 sec) should turn on XB1 console only. Holding the Xbox button for a longer time (e.g., 3 secs) should cause everything to turn on (e.g., XB1 console,
TV, cable/set-top box, AVR, etc.). When holding the Xbox button to turn off, there should be three options: turn off console, turn off controller, or turn everything off (e.g., console, TV, box, AVR, controller, etc.)

3) Perhaps, there should also be separate commands for turning on or off each individual device. For example "Xbox TV turn on" and "Xbox TV turn off"; "Xbox Cable Box turn on" and "Xbox Cable Box turn off"; "Xbox, AVR turn on" and "Xbox, AVR turn off", etc.

Thanks for reading!

 

Basically, when you use an AV receiver, it extracts the audio and doesn't pass it through. so no sound will go from the receiver to the TV, only video. If your AV receiver has a headphone jack you can plug your headset into that to get sound through it.

Though, if I may ask, Why do you need sound from both at the same time?
