    Using headset in windows


    I recently started using my xbox one controller in windows 7. My question is, does the windows driver support use of the headset too? I can't seem to find an answer on bing.

    no headset mic streaming since March 2017 Update

    Hi,

    since the march 2017 update applied itself to my xbox one, the headset mic no longer registers when streaming from any of my windows 10 computers.

    * problem started after xbox one update

    * tried restarting xbox one

    * tried total power cycle

    * using official xbox one wireless adaptor

    * using official xbox one controllers

    * streaming works but the no mic icon is always there

    * party chat says no mic detected

    * xbox headset and mic are default on windows and are working

    * windows 10 creators update did not resolve it

    * running latest xbox and xbox beta apps

    * clean install of windows doesn't help

    * tried wireless and wired connections

    * tried with the headset adaptor and with the 3.5 jack directly

    * controller shows no firmware update required

    * tried multiple controllers

    * headset works fine when not streaming (i.e using directly on xbox)

    i'm out of options, is this known to be broken? if any any timescale on a fix?

    thanks

    USB Surround Sound Headphones Perfect for PS4 but Not Working XBOX One

    The micro-usb port on the controller is not designed for use for headphones.

    The Xbox One Controller is designed for using a headset with a 3.5mm jack. There is no general USB support on the Xbox One console for USB headsets.

    You'll need to buy a headset that's compatible with the console.

    Looking up your headset at amazon -

    Gaming Headset, ZIDLI ZH7 7.1 surround sound Earphone with LED Light Noise Isolating Over Ear headphone with Mic

    Compatible with Windows XP, Windows 10, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1. MAC Generic Use. No Drivers.

    Audio passthrough on xbox one s controller windows 10

    Hello Rab,

    The headset in use, does it happen to be a Xbox Stereo Headset or a stereo headset in general?

    It might be best to review the information found within our Using the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter with Windows
    10     for information regarding the adapter used on most stereo headsets and how it's setup on a Windows 10 PC.

    Also available is our Attach an Xbox One Chat Headset to an Xbox One Wireless Controller support article,
    backed up by our Troubleshoot the Xbox One Chat Headset on Windows 10 support article.

    Try the provided resources and let us know if this information was helpful.

    Best wishes!
