Voice Chat through: Headset, Speakers or Both on Xbox One?

TTBS Retonymous · Jan 19, 2015

Will you be adding features back onto the Xbox One from the 360 that gamers actually want. This will really help the Youtube community as well as when you have a group of friends over wanting chat through the TV resulting in using the kinect, which isn't
really a good quality mic. Please add this to the Xbox One, it will be a great help

Voice Chat Options

On the Xbox 360, you had the option to make voice communications come through your speakers, headset, or both. This was extremely useful for me, because I like to record gameplay of me and my friends, and having their voices come through game chat made everything
a lot easier.

So, it was to my disappointment that I could not find a way to make voice chat come through both the speakers and my headset on the Xbox One.

Is there a way to do this? If so, please explain. I could not find it.

CoD BO2 Chat

I want to play the chat through my headset and the tv for others to hear. When I go to preferences>voice I checked the box for play through both speakers and headset and I turned the voice volume all the way up and the game volume all the way down and it still isn't playing through the speakers. I also tried playing the chat only through the speakers and there was no chat to be heard at all. Does anyone know how to turn the volume up for black ops 2 or is there something wrong that I can troubleshoot?
Thanks

I really hope Microsoft sees this thread and updates the Xbox One's audio settings so that your own voice comes through both the tv speakers and the headset. As a new Youtuber I am very disappointed that I cannot record my own voice on my videos without
splitting and splicing wires from my headset and controller so that my voice is transmitted through my tv speakers and recorded along with my game and party chat audio from friends. I am using an Elgato Game Capture Card and it only records audio that comes
through your tv speakers. Since the Xbox One only allows my voice to come through my headset and not my tv speakers I am unable to record my own voice. So this method of splitting wires and using the Kinect microphone causes a reduced quality and an increased
echo to my voice audio, making my videos have an overall horrible sound to them. By having my voice audio go through both my headset and tv speakers I would be able to record my voice with good quality. If Microsoft truly cares about it's consumers and making
the Xbox One an "all in one" media center with social media support then it really needs to make the change in allowing players to have their voice chat audio go through both the headset and tv speakers in its next update.

I agree, Seems the play "through speakers, headset or both" for party chat and in game voice is missing. at least I couldn't find it. I want to use my mic to chat and hear voice responses through the speakers of the TV. Thats the other setting in those
core areas that I couldn't find.

Try setting the voice chat output to both speakers and headset.

I also run into the issue when I use my tv speakers I only hear the voice chat in the xbox headset even though I tell xbox to have the voice go through my headset and speakers.
