  1. We can't find a headset for these people


    Ever since the new update me and my friends have been having a problem with our headsets. We can hear the game volume through our headsets but not each other.

    In the party tab it will say "We can't find a microphone for these people" and we have to remove and reinsert our headset a few times until they work. It happens almost every time we join a party and it's such a nuisance. It's only been noticeable
    since the new update.

    Does anyone else have this issue or know how's to solve it completely?

    :)

    Try performing a hard reset EXACTLY like this.

    Hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power shuts down completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug the power cord back in and restart the console.

    If that doesn't work try testing with a different controller/headset.

    If you use a headset with a 3.5 mm plug and 3 rings on the connector, know that there are two standards for those headset connectors called "OMTP" and "CTIA".

    If you have 3 headsets with a OMTP setup, then the headset is "talking" to the ground pin of the controller, and the controller is "listening" for the microphone on the ground-pin of the headset.

    You need to get a CTIA to OMTP adapter, which simply reverses these two contacts. You can get these adapters online or in most cellphone stores.

    Good afternoon Skorpio11x

    Here are a couple links to the support page that can help trouble shoot the issue possibly.

    Also here is a link to Xbox Support accessories section

    I know that me personally I was trying to use headphones that had chat capability but I never could get it to work correctly (like the issues you are having) until I bought a Stereo headset Adaptor. If you have not purchase one of these you might try that

    I hope the issue gets resolved, I know it is no fun not being able to participate in the chat.

    If this is helpful please mark my reply as such and thank you!

    Miss Visualize,

    Hello! Im sorry about the issue your experiencing. The 3.5 mm jack is supposed to be a universal outlet for multiple headsets but some headsets will work but not to the full capacity of an actual xbox one headset. Your console uses 8 different settings off
    your router to make sure your able to matchmake and communicate with people. If its not your network its an actual hardware problem between the controller and the headset. Just like a phone charger the plug or the port can be compromised to the point the hardware
    has to be replaced. If you have warranty on your console please contact us to see about the possibilities of

    replacing the controllers
    you have.

    Not all headphones use the same hardware.

    See below link for more information on this. (its near the bottom I think)

    Some headphone wont work on my controller directly plugged into the controller, but work fine when using the headset adapter.
