Using kinect for voice and stereo headset at the same time

Unfortunately that won't work. Once the console detects a headset connected to your profile, it re-routes party chat through there, which means using the headset for sound output AND microphone.

It's not currently possible to 'mix and match' as you would like.

That said, head over to the Xbox Feedback site and make the suggestion; it's possible it could get picked up by the developers and implemented in future.

There's an option in the settings that says something like "Use Kinect for in game chat" that you can toggle on and off, so you can definitely turn Kinect off for voice chat.

As for the headset adapter, it may be an issue with the headphones you're using it with. On the adapter there are buttons to turn the volume up and down, but there are also buttons to change the balance between the game sounds and voice chat, so using those
you can get the mix just how you like it, so if you want the game sound quiet and the voice chat loud, for example, you can do that. The quality of the voice chat is crystal clear too. I'm using the official MS stereo headset, but a friend of mine uses a Turtle
Beach headset (I'm not sure which model) and he says the same as me, so I think either your headset has an issue or you're not using the controls on the adapter correctly.

Prefer the voice commands without having to wear a headset personally, only time I wear one is when in party which isn't that often these days. Plus I use voice commands to control Netflix and turn the box on, I don't want to use a headset for those
functions. No point in them having to develop two voice command systems to accommodate both. You want voice use a Kinect. In my opinion as that's how the system was designed originally. Those who chose not to buy a Kinect enabled system can't expect the
same functions.

Hi helvetica237,

Sorry you're having issues with your Auto-Login. Are you using the Kinect to log you in, or do you have it setup to just log you in automatically no matter what? Please let us know. If it's the Kinect login try to do the "I wasn't recognized" a few times,
right by where you login with your profile.

With the controller, have you tried updating the firmware on it? See the link below. It's for the stereo headset, but the process is the same for any controller firmware updates.

6) Select Bitstream format and then select Dolby Digital.

Configuring the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter

By default, the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter will output both game audio and voice audio which will render the mixer on the A50 Wireless Headset unusable. Follow the below steps to set the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to only output voice audio which
will correct this.

1) Set the mixer on the A50 Wireless Headset to full voice audio. To do this, hold down the voice button on the A50 Wireless Headset until you hear two beeps. Two beeps is an indication that you have fully mixed towards either game or voice depending on
what button you was holding.

2) On the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter, hold down the chat audio button until you hear a beep. At this point, you should only be able to hear voice audio from your Xbox One.

3) On the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter, hold down the plus button until the voice audio no longer increases.

That's all that's to it! You will now be able to use the microphone from your A50 Wireless Headset on your Xbox One and the mixer will work as intended allowing you to mix between game audio and voice audio with ease. Should you have any further questions
regarding the A50 Wireless Headset and Xbox One, please feel free to post them on this thread and we'll respond as quickly as possible with an answer for you.

This seems to be the same for the Xo7 as well. My co worker said there is not even a volume control turn dial at all.

IMO this is not ok.

That copy paste is saying turn your game audio off to be able to adjust your voice volume.
