    Turtle Beach Earforce X12 makes continuous buzzing sound with stereo headset adapter/xbox one ...


    I purchased the xbox one stereo headset adapter so that I could use my turtle beach earforce X12 headset on the xbox one. I checked the compatibility page and the earforce x12 was compatible with the stereo adapter. When my xbox one controller is plugged
    into the xbox one via usb cable (no batteries or battery pack) and my turtle beach headset is plugged into the controller (via the stereo headset adapter), I get a constant buzzing noise in the headset like there is interference or something. If I connect
    the controller to the xbox one without the usb cord (using battery power), there is no buzzing sound and the headset works fine. I just really don’t want to have to keep buying batteries and/or get a battery pack so I was hoping there is a way to power the
    controller with just a usb cable (no batteries/battery pack) that doesn’t involve plugging it into the xbox one system directly since this appears to cause some interference and the buzzing sound. The same thing would happen on my xbox 360, but all I had to
    do to fix it was plug the controller (using the plug and play cord only, no battery pack) into a usb outlet in the wall so that the headset and controller weren’t being powered off of the xbox 360 (I also tried plugging the headset into a usb outlet and leaving
    the controller plugged into the xbox but I still had the buzzing noise if I did it that way). If I try this method on the xbox one, the contoller won’t power on when plugged into a usb wall outlet. Is there any way to get the controller to power on when it
    is plugged into a usb wall outlet?

    Here is what I did to hook the headset up to the xbox one in the first place:

    I hooked up the stereo headset adapter and updated my xbox one controller. I then used the following instructions to hook up my turtle beach headset:

    1. hooked the stereo adapter into the controller,

    2. attached the 2.5mm-3.5mm cord adapter into the stereo adapter,

    3. plugged my turtle beach headset cord into the 2.5mm-3.5mm cord adapter,

    4. plugged the audio cord on the headset into the audio out on the monitor,

    5. plugged the headset usb power cord into the xbox.

    :)

    Turtle Beach Ear Force Adapter VS Microsoft Adapter

    For all my Xbox ONE Gamers, question on Legacy Headsets mainly pertaining to Turtle Beach owners. Is there an added benefit going with the Turtle beach Adapter

    http://www.turtlebeach.com/…/ear-force-headset-audio-co…/644     versus the Microsoft Adapter

    http://www.xbox.com/…/acce…/headsets/stereo-headset-adapter…     . Thoughts, feedback? I have and older Earforce x41 Turtle Beach Headset and want to know if I can save a few bucks instead of paying additional for Turtle Beach, shipping, and waiting.

    Official Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter with earforce dss 2

    If your headphones are anything like mine (Turtle Beach X12) then the Optical cables goes from the Xbox One into the DSS2 your headset plugs into the DSS2 then the talkback cable goes into the headset adapter. Now make sure you turn down the game volume
    on the headset adapter as you want SS not Stereo. You should be ready to go after that.

    Stereo Headset Adapter and Turtle Beach X12

    Your Turtle Beach X12 headset used an USB for power, and also has controls for sound levels. The Stereo Headset Adapter has only an 3.5 mm, 4 pole, Audio jack for phone plug. The adapter has Controls include volume up/down, microphone mute, and game/chat
    balance. I would say buy another headset, MS has one for 79.99 with adapter.

    Help : Headset/audio

    Turtle Beach Headsets do just that and there are many models to choose from. But to have a 5.1 or 7.1 virtual surround sound headset you'll have to spend big $$. If having a stereo one instead doesn't bother you then i recommend getting the Turtle Beach
    X12. Sound is amazing (for stereo), works for both Xbox and PC, and you can control the sound of both the mic and game sound individually. Ok, its a wired model (powered by USB port) but for the price (60$) its totally worth it.

    Xbox One Headset Adapter Problems

    I have a turtle beach px21 headset and purchased the xbox one headset adapter. The stereo sound is coming through really well, but the mic isn't working with it. Is this a known issue or is my headset mic not compatible with the xbox one?
