  1. XB1 Stereo Headset Microphone Issue


    Hi,

    I just purchased this yesterday and the microphone sensitivity, initially, seems to be too low with the Xbox One stereo headset.

    Both controllers and console are updated with the latests patches.

    When streaming through twitch and monitoring my feed, I noticed my chat audio can barely be heard over the game volume, regardless of the microphone setting on the twitch app. This complaint was also voiced by several of my viewers. I then tested the microphone
    through the Skype app's sound test service. Again, microphone sensitivity seems too low in playback.

    However, oddly enough, when testing the microphone through Upload Studio, the microphone sensitivity was fine. The same was true when testing the microphone with my mobile devices as well.

    Please advise.

    :)

    Xbox Elite Controller Being Recognized as a Regular Controller

    I have this same microphone input issue with my Master Chief controller and Stereo Headset Adapter. Both the Master Chief and Elite controllers are listed as compatible with the Stereo Headset Adapter.

    Here's a Reddit thread of people having the same microphone issue:

  3. Stereo Headset Microphone Issue

    I have had the same controller/stereo adapter/headset for the past 2 years, and suddenly the mic starts making bad static for about a day, then quits working all together. Audio still works perfectly fine, and the mic/audio work fine on my computer. I tried
    using my other controller, same problem. I don't want to just throw $25 out the window on a new adapter and possibly have the same problem. Any solutions?

    I had exactly the same problem.

    I will try to explain the solution as precisly as I can.

    well, surely you put the microphone as close to your mouth as you can, did you?

    It seems obvious that if mic is closer then mic should be more sensitive, right?

    I thought so but I was wrong and I'll tell you why.

    This mic is directional mic which means you have to talk exactly to that little hole at the end of mic.

    Notice that when you put the mic as close as you can to your mouth then that hole is directed to your cheek not mouth.

    Solution: Move the mic AS FAR AS YOU CAN from your mouth (I mean horizontaly), now the hole will be directed exactly to your mouth and since now everything will be ok.

    It worked for me, try it and pls let me know.

    cheers.

    Sound works on both of them, and voice was working on my old one for years. Not a headset issue. It's xbox.
