  1. XBOX controller headset/microphone/headphones audio devices on windows 10 PC


    hi, i'm having issues, with my headset and its microphone when paired to PC. first i noticed when i try to plug my headset directly into the PC, i can only hear sound in my left ear, so i have paired my xbox controller to my PC, the controls work fine but my headset for the xbox controller its and microphone, aren't making or receiving any noise when paired with my PC. it does work when its paired with xbox but not with my pc. the xbox controller appears on the bluetooth devices list, but its not showing up in the audio output or input devices, so neither the headset or its microphone show up in a list of audio inputs or outputs, headphones or microphones. i have 3 of them, they all work fine with xbox, just not on pc. so i'm pretty sure its not a hardware issue. the drivers are all updated. i think the issue stems from the xbox controllers headset and microphone is not registering as an audio device. any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time, sidenote, should this be under windows or xbox and gaming? because its kind of both. the issue is when i try xbox games on PC. but, again i think the issue stems from audio devices not registering on windows.

    Microphone Not Working When Streaming

    Hi Benneh360,

    To use a headset while streaming. Plug your USB headset (or microphone) into your Windows 10 PC or your chat headset into your controller before beginning Game Streaming. Your headset must be selected as the default playback and recording device on
    your PC. To access this setting, open Control Panel, select Hardware and Sound, and then select Manage Audio Devices.

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

    Update: Regarding issue #2 (Headaet adapter issues while connecting Xbox One controller to Windows 10 PC for streaming)

    I discovered that:

    1) The headset adapter is just treated like an additional headphone and microphone under the Windows audio settings.

    2) To select which microphone to use (e.g. PC mic or microphone attached to Headset Adapter), set the desired microphone as your default device by right clicking volume/speaker icon at the bottom right of the taskbar and click "Recording devices."

    3) Odd behavior or malfunctions (e.g. headet microphone not working when streaming to Wkndows 10) may occur when there are too many USB plugged into the computer, causing insufficient USB controller resources.

    When I plugged the Xbox One controller directly into my Surface Pro 2, the microphone automatically worked fine. When I docked my Surface Pro 2 into its docking station and plugged the Xbox One controller into the docking station's USB port, my headset adapter/Stereo
    Headset's microphone was recognized, but the decibel meter would not detect any sound when spoken into. Occasionally, I would receive a "insufficient USB controller resources" error. This could also be an issue related to connecting the Xbox One controller
    to a USB hub.

    Regarding issue #1 (headset adapter/stereo headset's microphone not working on Xbox One after disconnecting from streaming), I will see if I experience it again to isolate the issue.
