    Unable to use Xbox headset to stream.


    Does anyone know if it's possible to use the Xbox headset to work with streaming as after much frustrating thinking it wasn't working at all I realised it did but not when I stream. I've tried googling my answer but only ones I can find are only relevant
    to people plugging headsets into their pc not their controller (in my case it's plugged into my controller)

    Last thing I want to do is start playing it through my tv as the screen is too small and because I have to sit quite close to see the screen properly it starts to hurt my neck after awhile which isn't good.

    :)

    Unable to stream

    All I had to do was a Hard Restart / Full Reboot of my Xbox.

    To do that, hold the power button on the xbox for 10 seconds while the system is on. The system will turn off. When you hit the button again, it will start and display the green start-up screen.

    Headset connect failed

    I had a headset connected to my xbox [x] and working last night watching on mixer a stream, headset stopped working , stream got muted , unable to add a headset now [dolby access] not working either which is a paid version, it does actually set the headset
    up ,but no sound,i did reset console which did nothing, instead now my samsung 4k tv has become incompatible to use 4k after xbox reset plus no compatible speakers found on the tv by xbox warning.

    Is the xbox one x faulty?

    Microphone Not Working When Streaming

    Hi Benneh360,

    To use a headset while streaming. Plug your USB headset (or microphone) into your Windows 10 PC or your chat headset into your controller before beginning Game Streaming. Your headset must be selected as the default playback and recording device on
    your PC. To access this setting, open Control Panel, select Hardware and Sound, and then select Manage Audio Devices.

    Is there any Usb microphone works on Xbox one s?

    The Xbox One does not support USB Microphones. You could just use a headset for talking while streaming your games or stream using your PC, and use a USB microphone on there instead.

    Bug: Microphone doesn't work after disconnecting Windows 10 streaming

    Thank you Bestlano!

    Another issue I'm running into with the headset adapter + windows 10 streaming:

    I docked my surface pro 2 into the docking station, which has a wired PC microphone plugged in. When I start playing (Rainbow Six Siege), the game audio is coming through my headset adapter (via the Xbos Stereo Headset), but the Windows 10 Xbox app is utilizing
    my wired PC microphone instead of the Stereo Headset/Headset Adapter. I can't figure out a way to force the streaming app to use the microphone plugged into my controller...

    (not sure if I should document this issue in another thread)

    It seems there may be some minor issues between the Windows 10 Xbox streaming application when used with the Xbox Headset Adapter.
