Why can't I hear sound through TV when headset is on?

Not game audio, game chat.

In settings, Xbox has an option to make party chat output go through your headset, headset and TV, or TV.

but that's only for party chat. i've always wondered why xbox can't do the same for in-game chat too?

With in game chat, if your headset is plugged in; game chat automatically goes to the headset, with no option to have it output through TV.

really sucks when you can't wear headsets, you can't play socially outside of parties. (in party chat; i use my headset mic, but have their voice output through my TV. game chat has no option to do this, you must wear your headset to hear teammates)

I have figured out the issue. For some reason when I have the option set to channel sound through both the headset and TV it really mutes the sound going to the headset for some reason. When I switch to headset only for party chat it instantly triples or quadruples the sound entering the headset. Not sure why but I am unable to allow my girlfriend to listen to my party chat while I play (it's less boring for her to watch when she can hear the people I'm playing with also).

hi, its a TB Recon 150, wired. I have tried a new TB Recon 50P and have the same issue. My son mainly plays Fortnite but we have tried Minecraft too and we can still hear sound through the TV as well as through the headset. He can hear his friends but
they can't hear him when playing Fortnite.

They're excellent. Hearing the engine roaring through a surround sound headset over TV sound any day.

With four different controllers and three different headsets one brand new out of the box if I'm in a party chat it's extremely loud I Echo and everybody's headset they could hear a pin drop in my house everything that goes on there's feedback loops
I have the TV volume off but yet they can still hear all the sound through my headset gaming sound mic Extremely Loud can hear anything in my house have all the settings turned as low as I can can't find what is wrong

If you have TV sound off and in party other player can hear your game sounds, you are using an headset combo game sound/party chat.

Can you share with us your headset brand and model? For all of this because you say that have 3 different headsets.

This additional info can help us.
