When i use my xbox wireless headset on my PC the audio gets muffled

Hi Ashton. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

I assume you are connecting the headset to your PC using Bluetooth, is that correct? Unfortunately, this is simply a limitation of Bluetooth technology.

Bluetooth does not have enough bandwidth for high-quality audio while the microphone is in use, so there will be a noticeable difference in audio quality when you're on a call. This won't happen on Series X, as it doesn't connect to the headset using Bluetooth.

It's recommended to use an Xbox Wireless Adaptor for Windows instead of Bluetooth. It uses a different wireless technology which doesn't have this limitation.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

Actually, I recently found another thread talking about something similar
It seems that wireless headset doesn't work properly when using microphone and audio on PC

I have the same headset and use the xbox wireless adapter to connect. The only workable, but annoying, fix I've found is to go to control panel-> device manager-> sound video and game controllers and disable the HDMI audio output on my video card (I dont
use it anyways). After that, delete the xbox wireless adapter from the network drop down in device manager, be sure to check 'delete drivers as well' when prompted, then unplug/replug the xbox wireless adapter, let it auto install, then connect your headset.
No more audio lag/drop outs/pc freezes/bsod's.....for this time that you're using it. You have to do this every single time you want to connect your headset, at least i do, or i get one or all of these issues. Im open to better options but this does work for
me

[quote user="EvilTwinGX"]If the cable imput is only for audio then there would be absolutely no way for the mic to work on the headset to begin with.[/quote]The physical boom mic, or the chat audio?



This question/conversation is not about the physical boom mic, it's about the chat audio.

That said, there's no reason that the headset should work but not the mic, except maybe the protocols.

It's the wireless
protocol that won't work.



See
this wireless headset? The only thing this wireless headset does is handle chat conversations between other Xbox Live members. You don't get regular game audio through it. To function, the wireless headset pairs with the 360 console and runs over the same
wireless protocol as 360 controllers. Tritton integrated the functionality of that wireless headset into their own. The Warhead's base station has a pairing button, just like the wireless headset. The base station takes care of mixing the chat audio and the
game audio, but without that pairing to the 360 there's no way to get chat audio into the base station.



Microsoft explicitly stated that the wireless protocol between the Xbox One and its accessories is different than the protocol used by 360 accessories. Because the wireless headset uses these same protocols, it won't work on the Xbox One. By extension, the
wireless pairing that the Warhead does with the 360 console won't work with the Xbox One console.



The Tritton Warhead is a headset designed for use only with the Xbox 360. Without a 360 console, it becomes a regular set of headphones, rendering the boom mic useless. If all you want to do is listen to game audio, that's not a dealbreaker.
If you want to talk to other gamers in realtime, you're looking at buying a new headset.



Astro? Turtle Beach? Their wireless headsets will work with the Xbox One, including their mics, because they all currently plug into the 360 controller for chat audio. The controller handles the wireless link to the 360 for the chat audio, but from the audio
port on the controller to the headset is all bog standard 2.5mm headset territory. MS is working on an adapter to allow older 360-compatible headset cables to attach to the new Xbox One controller, again allowing headsets to piggyback on the controller for
chat audio. The Warhead? Out of luck. No cable, no piggyback.



It's this tight coupling to the 360's wireless protocol for chat audio that caused me to ignore the Warhead's development and shipment to market. As soon as I saw that it was bound to the 360, I said this is going to end badly for a $300 headset. My Astro
A40s with a Mixamp 5.8? My friend's Astro A50s? They'll both be fully functional with the Xbox One.

for a headset to work through the xbox controller on pc it (the controller) has to be wired or using the xbox wireless adapter, audio passthrough is not supported via bluetooth.
