USB headsets low max volume

scott p1 · Mar 17, 2023

I have purchased a few USB headsets and they all have the same issue. They have a low max volume. I raise the volume on the headset wheel and even set chat mixer to do nothing. The volume still feels like it’s only around 30%. How can I fix this so that I can actually use these headsets?

Hi, I'm , an Independent advisor and I can surely help you.

Don't worry we will work on this together. May I know are you trying to connect the headset on your Xbox console or Windows PC?

You said you used or tried Two different headsets and experienced the same problem?

Curious, did you use the same cable for both headsets? If so, try a different cable from the headset to the controller.

Is there a POT (potentiometer) volume knob on the cord? If so, take the Volume knob and go from max volume to min volume back and forth thirty times. This will clean and dust off the POT.

You mentioned using a USB cable in the controllers. I assume you are talking about powering the controller instead of batteries. If so, have you tried batteries?

One of the headsets is wired, the other one is wireless. The Astro headset doesn't have a 3.5mm port anywhere on it.

I've messed with the volume on both and the audio still cuts out.

As for the controllers, I've used batteries and the USB cable on 2 of the 3 to the same effect.

Just keep pressing the button on the adapter that has a person on it until its at max (not sure if it makes a confirmation noise or not when its at max)

Make sure the volume is all the way up on the adapter as well, this will make a beep when its at its highest

Now on your astro headset hold down on the chat audio side of the headset until you hear the 2 beep confirmation that its at highest volume. You now have both headset and controller at max chat volume. Use your astro headset to adjust game volume now, dont
toggle with the adapter controls anymore as it could mess with the stuff again

Hope it helped

I just purchased the Turtle Beach XO Seven set which came with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. I have maxed out every volume option available and its still really quite. If i plug my headset into my phone or any other device the volume and sound quality
is great. I don't even have to max out the volume on those. WTF Xbox? Give us more control over boosting headset volume when using the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter!!! Like Today
