I have an elite controller with the jack. Can you be more specific? I was thinking of buying the stereo headset adapter, but would I be able to adjust the voice volume in the headset, or just in the earbuds?

Xbox One controller on Win 10 + stereo headset, only left channel audio comes through

I'm using a Lunar White XB1 controller with a wireless adapter on Win 10 (with a 3.5 mm jack built in). When I try to get audio through it, only the left audio comes through. Right audio doesn't work. Mic works. Help?

Most of the time if the 3.5 doesn't pick up the controller the jack is defective. If it is a new controller you might want to make sure the controller is up to date

If the update doesn't work with the controller, exchange the controller where you buy it.

I heard it would work if I connect the mic to xbox via usb, and connect the mic to the 3.5mm adapter jack that goes to mic jack and headset jack. And connect that adapter to my controller. Idk if that is true though

Hi there Horito,

Thanks for the reply. I was able to take a look into some resources. If you are using an Xbox One Controller, you will need the following components:

Xbox One headset adapter
3.5mm CTIA Splitter cable (3 lines on the jack)
3.5mm jack to jack auxiliary cable ( 2 lines on the jack)

You will need to connect the Xbox One headset adapter to the Xbox One Controller. Then the 3.5mm CTIA Splitter cable (3 lines on the jack) connects into the adapter. The splitter cable will be identified as headset and mic. The 3.5mm jack to jack auxiliary
cable ( 2 lines on the jack) will be used in the mic cord to the Yeti Mic.

Hope this helps.

The Mic will always go thru the controller unless its a wireless from Microsoft.

The Adapter will have you use the White/Red sound jacks and have them go into 1 green speaker headphone jack.

I HAVE IDENTIFIED THE CULPRIT! It is the 3.5mm slot on the Xbox One controller.

So I took all my gear to a friends house to test everything out on his network with his Xbox One and equipment. Synced my controller to his Xbox and had the same problem. I then plugged in his Xbox headset adapter to my setup (He has an older controller
without the headset jack) and everything worked smoothly if I used a headset adapter.

So, the problem is either the headset jack on my controller or something to do with the firmware that prevents the jack from being used properly. The only reason I'm hesitant to just say it is a faulty 3.5mm connector on the controller is because my mic
is responsive to the mic monitoring volume controls on the Xbox. Then again, I'm no mic expert so it may very well be a faulty controller.

Sucks that I need to get an adapter now to get a headset working on my controller that supposedly doesn't need one...

I will mark this as solved once I get my own headset adapter tomorrow and have everything running smoothly
