Will Xbox One S require a cord for chat?

Hello Elcee1106,

The Xbox One S does not require a power supply, or power brick, the power supply for the Xbox One S is on the inside. It seems like what you need is just a new cord. Am I right or did I misunderstand?

So I have my x41's working properly for both party/game chat and surround sound. I have my optical audio cord hooked up directly to my base station from the xbox one and my chat cord connecting my headset and controller. The xbox optical audio set as bitstream
out and the format is dolby digital. I have the audio balance on the adapter set to 100% chat. That gives me surround sound and chat.

Hi there,

As far as I know, depending on the power cord itself, if it's just the cord (so not the power supply) you might find a matching one at an electronics store. As long as it meeds the power requirements for the console (and it fits the slot) the cord should
be fine.

If it's also the power supply (only came with the original Xbox One console, both S and X have an internal power supply) then contacting Xbox Support is the best option to order a new power supply.

power cord for xbox one s should be a base cord for other devices

Hi, Kiara.

If you have an Xbox One S or an Xbox One X, you can use its power cord with your new console. The power cord from the original Xbox One would not work with a Series S/X console.
