  1. Xbox Android App still forces you to use Phone Microphone and not headset microphone


    I'm trying to join a party on my phone so I can play on my PlayStation while talking with my friends on Xbox (they refuse to set up discord integration.). However, the Android App will not allow me to use the headset microphone. It doesn't work with any headset I try. I have no issues with other apps

    :)

    Are you using a headset, or the Xbox app on your phone for party chat?

    You can try reinstalling the app, also check that the Xbox app has microphone permissions.

    Muc in 3.5mm headset silent

    Yes my mic on my headset no longer seems 2 register is sound on the Xbox One.

    ...

    and I tested my mic on the Android plugged in where did hear me so it's not my mic's physical fault.
    Be aware that there are two standards for headset plugs called OMTP and CTIA.

    In both standards the microphone and ground connections are reversed.

    If your Android phone uses the OMTP standard, and the OMTP headset works on your Android phone, it will NOT work on the controller which requires a CTIA compliant headset.

    Basically, the controller is then "listening" to the ground pin, while the microphone of your OMTP headset is "talking" to the ground pin of the controller.

    You could try going to a phone shop or searching online for a CTIA to OMTP adapter. This adapter simply crosses the Microphone and Ground pin (so it works both ways, so you can also get a OMTP to CTIA adapter).

    Since this adapter only crosses two wires, the adapter should not cost more than a coffee to go, or you're being ripped off.

    microphone not working for game bar or Xbox app Windows 11

    Thank you for verifying! Have you tried changing your default microphone in both the Xbox app and the Xbox Game Bar?

    Xbox Game Bar:

    • Open the Xbox Game Bar
    • Go to your "Audio" widget
    • Select the "Voice" tab
    • Change your "WINDOWS DEFAULT INPUT" to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    • Change your "DEFAULT COMMUNICATIONS OUTPUT" and your "DEFAULT COMMUNICATIONS INPUT" to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    • Scroll down to "More Settings"
    • Click "Xbox Party Chat"
    • Change your "AUDIO OUTPUT" to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    • Change your "AUDIO INPUT" to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    Verify that "push to talk" is not enabled

    Xbox app:

    • Open the Xbox app
    • Click your profile icon at the top right corner of the page
    • Select "Settings"
    • Select "Audio"
    • Set your default "Input device" to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    • Set your default "Output device" to the headset or microphone you'd like to use.
    Verify that "push to talk" is not enabled

    Bug: Microphone doesn't work after disconnecting Windows 10 streaming

    Thank you Bestlano!

    Another issue I'm running into with the headset adapter + windows 10 streaming:

    I docked my surface pro 2 into the docking station, which has a wired PC microphone plugged in. When I start playing (Rainbow Six Siege), the game audio is coming through my headset adapter (via the Xbos Stereo Headset), but the Windows 10 Xbox app is utilizing
    my wired PC microphone instead of the Stereo Headset/Headset Adapter. I can't figure out a way to force the streaming app to use the microphone plugged into my controller...

    (not sure if I should document this issue in another thread)

    It seems there may be some minor issues between the Windows 10 Xbox streaming application when used with the Xbox Headset Adapter.

    Can I use the Xbox One Controller's 3.5mm jack to plug in my headset for Windows 10 Xbox Party Chat?

    Hi, thanks for your response.

    I am using the Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 30X Chat Communicator Gaming Headset.

    I have never tried this setup before using the Xbox App, but feel it should work as every other aspect of my computer can detect and use the headset speaker and microphone. It is only the Xbox App that cannot find the microphone on this headset.

    I am trying to use the headset on my computer exactly like it would be used on the Xbox One, through the 3.5mm jack. There is no reason this should not work because my computer finds the microphone just fine.
