Xbox headphone/accessory port malfunctioning

Use the direct tv a access

Hi There,

It is possible to have voice play through your television speakers, its in the voice or speaker setting, I believe.

USB is for controller charging purposes only, not for use unless you use the xbox adapter. Connecting your headphones to the console's USB port will not allow audio to work on your headphones.

Hello, DeliriouSquarer. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

So if you connect your headphones to your Xbox controller, after some time it starts to malfunction. But if you connect this same headphone to your phone or PS controller it works? That's correct?

Or the headphones you use with your PS controller and phone functions for a long time and the headphones you use with your Xbox controller start to malfunction after a while? (And do not function anymore after that).

I'm not an electrical technician but this can be caused if your controller is having electronic issues inside it or on the headphone jack/port. I would recommend you to take your Xbox controller to an electronic store for repair.

Hi there,

it will depend on what actually is broken, is it just the headset port or something else that causes it not to work.

If it's just the port then I do assume that using the adapter will result in being able to use headphones, assuming the headset is supported.

See this link for more details on the adapter and for details on what is supported or not:
