Xbox App - Console Streaming - Headset Audio

I'm Samy an independent advisor

How are you?

The only way you can get sound from your console into your headset is to plug the headset into the audio output on your monitor.

Or using the Xbox companion app to stream the console to your PC

PalmettoBling may have the key to your issue. Check your console settings, you may need to use the Display & sound - Audio output - Headset audio - Using HDMI or optical audio headset checked and/or set your console party chat setting set to both headset
and TV so that it can be recorded/streamed by the Elgato external capture card.

Good luck!

Are you a Dashboard Preview member? If so then you should report it via the Xbox Insider app reporting function.

This may be a controller/console issue as I too have been experiencing intermittent audio issues on my Turtle Beach XO4 Stealth headset. I noticed something interesting for one of those occasions that I had also streamed via Mixer. During playback of the
VOD, I noticed that the audio issues I had been hearing in the headset weren't present in the VOD so that leaves me thinking that Microsoft has some issue with the audio feed being sent from the console to the controller and/or chatpad headset jack.

Nothing I have tried works including power cycling console, unplugging headset, changing qualities of stream, adjusting latency settings, and staying on an app bgmi apk download for 30 seconds mid stream whenever the issue occurs. The issue is always there when I stream, and it affects both my mic audio and the game audio as well.

Your issue resolved or still pending?

For me, I tend to use strictly party chat when I am communicating with my friends.

If I want to separate the party chat audio from the in-game audio,, I have to make a party in the Xbox App on Windows 10. You don't have to have your xbox even on at this point. Once the party has started in the Xbox App and my buddies join, I can hear them
fine through my xbox headset.

Now once you actually turn on your xbox, and start streaming. The Audio for the game will come through your speakers, and the audio for the Party should remain through the headset, both separate from each other.

Its not the best solution, but its definitely a clever workaround., however its not really that ideal, because it is a pain to work with, because you cannot control the party while streaming within the xbox. You literally have to end the stream and return
into the xbox app to configure the party settings.

Other than that, the only downside is, that any VOIP chat from any games will still want to push through your speakers and not your headset.
