Xbox Audio Through Phone

I did this and it didn't fix my problem. I can't hear game audio through my controller. I've tried using different controllers, same result. Using different mics on those controllers, still same result. I've also used the headsets on different devices
like my phone and PC and they work fine. To add to it I can hear chat audio, I just can't hear game audio through the headset. I'm thinking it's a controller issue or Xbox issue. I've changed the audio output to something else doesn't fix it.

It did work for me in the past when I was able to select the device explicitly, but now even when my headset is connected, Xbox App audio goes through my speaker phone.

I have at least one other person I know who is experiencing this same issue (I have a Pixel 2, he has a Pixel 3).

Is this an appropriate forum to request features being reimplemented, or to report bugs (such as the bluetooth device not being used for audio?).

I reinstalled the app and gave it permissions for "Audio" when prompted.

When that didn't work I also explicitly gave it permission to "Phone" and "Storage".

Does it at least support game audio through the included Xbox One headset?

do you have your phone near you when playing, I discovered tonight that if I use 4g next to my controller it drops out or the audio is interrupted through the headset.

To use the microphone on your earbuds with the Xbox app on your Samsung phone, you will need to make sure that the earbuds are connected to your phone and set as the default audio device. Here are the steps you can follow:

Connect your earbuds to your phone using Bluetooth.

Open the Xbox app on your phone.

Go to the "Settings" menu in the app.

Under the "Audio" section, select "Audio Device."

Choose your earbuds from the list of available audio devices.

Once you have set your earbuds as the default audio device, the Xbox app should automatically use the microphone on your earbuds when you are using voice chat or other features that require a microphone.
