    Wireless controller auto switching off


    can anybody tell me how to disable my controller from switching off every 15 min's. I'm using the hotas to play elite dangerous so I need the xbox controller for the headset. But during mid conversation it auto switches off. No where in the device settings
    dies it give me the option to decide.

    :)

    Someone from Xbox support told me this!

    Great, but that would be operating under the assumption that the controller is on all the time (the wireless auto shut off after about 15 minutes)...

    Second controller audio on Xbox one S

    to use a headset via 3.5mm jack the controller would need to be on. xbox controllers have an auto turn off to save battery life after 10 mins inactivity. there's nothing stopping you from doing what you suggest. just use the accessory app to assign both
    controllers to your profile. however you will have to use the second controller on regular basis to keep it switched on.

    alternatively invest in a wireless headset that way you will not require to use a 3.5 mm jack

    I had a similar issue with the newer wired headsets that have the voice on/off switch up by your chest rather than the older ones which was a grey switch by the bottom of the controller. On the newer one, the voice on/off switch was broken and it must have
    stayed on off setting ... so I bought a new one... but wireless controllers are the best option, I'm holding out for the new one coming soon with bluetooth too

    Didn't know they were bring out a new wireless headset! Any other news on it? When is release date?

    There are 4 periods in that wall of text. And three are right next to each other haha. I had to read it a few times to even understand.

    I would try turning auto switch off , and turn off switch on air balls as well, you have way more control over who you will switch too, then use the right stick instead of the bumper to switch. It's easier, I promise
