    Xbox 360 headset - microphone not working


    Hi,

    I have a problem with xbox 360 headset. In a Live group chat I can hear my friends, but I can't talk to them (they don't hear me). When I look on the icon of speaker in Party screen, mine reacts only with plugging/unplugging headset and muting/unmuting the
    mic (these three lines appear next to the speaker). When I talk to the mic, it won't work. I have checked the privacy & parental control settings, I have checked different controllers, different consoles, different profiles and even other "regular" headsets
    with 2,5mm jack adapter. I can't believe that my headset is broken, because it's brand new. As you can see I've checked as many solutions as I could come up with. Do you have any ideas, what could it be?

    Thanks in advance for feedback.

    :)

    Microsoft Xbox One Chat Headset Microphone Stops Working

    Hello,

    This summer we have had 3 Microsoft Xbox One chat headset microphones stop working and 1 Microsoft Xbox One Stereo headset microphone stop working.

    I have tried multiple Xbox One controllers and separate Xbox One console to verify the microphone no longer works.

    Is there some known issue of how these headsets need to be plugged in or unplugged from the controller that could be zapping the microphone? Do we have to have the controller turned on or off before inserting the plug into the controller?

    This just seems ridiculous that we keep loosing the microphone capability of these headsets.

    Hi, thanks for feedback. Unfortunately I've gone through all of those tips before posting and none of them work. That is why I came here and wanted to get some more advice or ideas on how can I get my mic to work properly...

    Also, as for this tip:

    "Other players cannot hear you

    Make sure that the volume level is set correctly and that the volume is not muted in the Personal Settings area. To do this, follow these steps:

    Press the Xbox Guide button on the Xbox 360 controller.

    Scroll right to Settings.

    Select Preferences.

    Select Voice.

    Make sure that the Mute option is not selected. To turn off the Mute option, select Mute, and then press the A button.

    Increase the volume. To do this, select the volume bar, and then press the D-pad or the left stick."

    I don't have this option "Mute" under the Voice menu...

    Same problem here. Tried all the aforementioned solutions-no luck. Also no mute option for me in preferences. What's going on?

  9. Also worth noting: I have 3 mics and 3 headsets. No combination of any of them is giving me any other results... There's no way all the mics and/or all the controllers are suddenly on the fritz

    Sony MDR-IRBT Headphones

    Is the microphone for this headset in-line (on the actual headset cable)? I know for other headsets this means the microphone won't work for the Xbox One.

    dont like headsets for Black Ops

    Purchase the official Xbox 360 headset, it's just one speaker and a microphone.

    Muted headset symbol on xbox One S

    Sir Lancealot 83.

    The microphone is muted, not the headset.

    The headset and microphone works on another xbox and controller.

    I have tried it on 2 controllers on the bone that is muted.

    Xbox microphone issues part 3

    The headsets are compatible with the Xbox. I have used Xbox microphones as well as third party microphones that all work on other devices. I should also note that I can hear everything on the headset, but i cannot be heard on my headsets.

    Astro A50's not working in party chat or game chat on Backwards Compatible games

    Does the headset work on Xbox One Party chat (i.e. do you see a circle around your gamerpic in the party chat on Xbox One)?

    Are only Backwards compatible games affected? If so, it might be that the Astro A50 base station acts as a USB microphone, which doesn't work as Chat microphone on the Xbox 360.

    You might have to contact the Astro A50 support for information on how to use that headset on backwards compatible titles.
