Xbox Headset - Mic problems

MachoBako · Jun 22, 2015

I brought a Earforce XO ONE Xbox one Stereo Gaming Headset earlier today and am having trouble with the mic in party chat, I can hear people talking but I cannot speak back to them as my mic is not picking up my voice. I have updated my controller to the
most recent update and have tried using the mic on Skype with my phone to see if the mic was faulty but it worked perfectly fine I could both hear them and talk to them. Any ways to fix this problem ?

Thanks

:)

Its just problems with XBOX live not your mic, I have the new stereo headset and the original headset and both I can't hear people talking.

Headset Mic problems

I have 3 headsets if you include the stock headset included with the XB1. The other 2 are turtle beach headsets (the titanfall edition and the X07). No matter what headset I use the Mic either does not work on initial start up or the mic stops working after
I plug in or unplug the play and charge cable (if it was plugged in on start up and i unplug it the mic quits and vise versa). I have updated my controller with the headsets plugged in and it did not help. I have tried using different headset adapters and
it still happens. The only way to fix this seems to be a reboot however this is not a real solution as the problem continues to occur.

Xbox One comes with Kinect it can be used as a mic. If you don't want to use Kinect as a mic then buy a headset. I have no problem using Kinect as a mic.

I'm having this problem with you official Xbox one stereo headset with mic

The "mic" you're referring to is the boom mic that plugs into the headset.

The mic I'm referring to is the chat system that allows one to talk to other players. Normally, that's supported by a wired mic cable that goes from the 360 controller to other headsets. On all other 360 headsets, a cable is required from the base of the
360 controller to the headset for chat. Even the wireless Astro A50 has a mic cable port to go to the 360 controller.

On the Tritton Warhead, that's all done wirelessly, same as the Microsoft Wireless Mic for 360 works. Tritton integrated the wireless mic into the headset base unit so that the headset can be completely wireless - no wired mic cable going to the controller.

It's the wired mic cable that the Tritton Warhead lacks that is the problem. There will be no way for the Warhead's base unit to sync its wireless mic with the Xbox One.

If all you want to do is use the Warhead as a wireless headset without a mic, it will be fine. If you want mic support, it won't.

Does the consoles audio come through the headset or is it just the mic that is having problems?

Does the the headset hav an inline volume control and/or mic mute button/switch?

Hi there, have you tried your headset mic in any other device, for example a smartphone or PC?

Try and check if your mic works.

Here's aguide to troubleshoot Mic problems.

Is it possible that the mic is broken? Have you tried checking if your audio is muted via party chat or on the headset Audio settings on your console?
