    Why won,t my xbox one's controller's 3.5mm audio port work with any wired headset i use?


    My controller that i got with my xbox one S has been faulty recently in it's performance over time. I got it one year ago. Recently i purchased a red xbox one controller with a 3.5mm audio jack. The controller worked fine and the audio was fine for about
    a week. After that week though, the audio stopped working with whatever headset i plugged into the controller. The controller that i got with the xbox originally still has functioning audio port which confused me. I returned the controller to the shop where
    i got it from and was given a new blue 3.5mm controller and the same problem occured where the audio stopped working after a week or two. Why is this? Could the controllers have been damaged while being delivered? or am i missing something? The main headset
    i use is a Turtle beach 50X Recon but no headset i use on the controllers work unless it's my controller that i originally got with the xbox. A quick response is appreciated.

    :)

    Xbox One Controller & cheap headphones (audio + chat)

    Hi my dear xbox lovers!

    I've got this pair of Apple Earbuds that use a standard 3.5mm audio/mic jack.
    I like them, the sound is good, the mic is OK, they're fine for my day-to-day needs.

    As far as I know, the PS4 controller can handle audio and chat through the DS4's 3.5mm jack.

    I understand that the Xbox One controller has a proprietary port that imposes some sort of connectivity limit.

    My question is, with the help of some sort of (cheap) adapter (I know that some headset companies have adapters in the works...), would it be possible for me to use my (cheap) Apple headphones with the Xbox One controller (for audio AND chat)?
    That would be awesome, since I wouldn't have to buy a 100$-ish headset.

    Thanks a lot fellow Xbone lovers Why won,t my xbox one's controller's 3.5mm audio port work with any wired headset i use? :D

    Headset and adapter question.

    The headset adapter is only for connecting headsets via a 3.5mm jack. I get the impression, but cannot confirm so you need to follow up, that this headset uses optical audio, in which case you would not need the headset adapter and it should still work with
    the Xbox One's optical audio out port.

    I would advise that you contact the headset's manufacturer's to confirm these points.

    If I use the Xbox One stereo adapter and/or a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable, will my official Xbox 360 wired headset work on my Xbox One?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    Good evening

    Yes, you can use the Xbox One Stereo Adapter along with a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable to use your official Xbox 360 wired headset with your Xbox One. The adapter is necessary as it allows you to connect the 2.5mm jack of the headset to the 3.5mm port on the Xbox One controller.

    Once you have connected the headset, you should be able to hear both game audio and chat audio through the headset. The Xbox One allows you to adjust the balance between game audio and chat audio in the settings.

    Regarding the compatibility of the Xbox 360 wired headset with the Xbox One, while the official Xbox website states that the headset only works with licensed Xbox 360s, it should still work with the Xbox One if you use the adapter.

    If you do not have the Xbox One Stereo Adapter, you can also use a 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable that has a microphone built-in. This will allow you to plug the headset directly into the Xbox One controller and use it for both game audio and chat audio.

    As for stripping wires or hacking the headset, this is not recommended as it can damage the headset and is not a reliable or safe solution.

    Official xbox one mic not working with discord

    it wont work via bluetooth as the controller does not pass audio vie bluetooth.

    wired then it technically should pic the headset up as a usb audio device. i normally use either a turtlebeach 3.5mm headset or my mobile phone headset.

    not sure why it wont work over usb though.

    Xbox One S - 1st gen controller - Headset/adapter not working

    Which adaptor do you have? The official Xbox adaptor, or the Turtle Beach adaptor?

    Both work in a similar way, but control slightly differently. Both of them work via the physical buttons, the headset audio menu only opens if you plug a headset directly into one of the Xbox One controllers with a 3.5mm audio port.

    Xbox microphone not detected

    Hi BedeVerified,

    Thank you for the update.

    If that's the case, then you will need to try the headset with another device like a mobile phone or laptop to make sure the headset is working. If it is, then the issue is with the 3.5mm audio ports on both of your controllers and you would need to try
    a third controller or look for an Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to bypass the 3.5mm port.

    Bluetooth headset connectivity on Xbox one S (All Digital)

    The Xbox One console, does not support Bluetooth, hence why the headsets do not work on their consoles. You either use a wireless headset, this uses the Xbox wireless technology to connect to the Xbox or connect a wired headset to the 3.5mm headphone jack
    that is in the bottom of the controller.
