  1. Xbox headset not playing game or party audio but I can still hear myself when I monitor my mic.


    So, I tried to plug my headset into my pc to see if it would work and it didn't.

    And when I tried to plug it back in, it didn't work.

    I scrolled over to audio and it rightly says a headset is connected. However, it doesn't show me the game/party audio mixer.

    I tried listening to youtube, nothing.

    I joined a friends party, nothing.

    I then tested my microphone in the mic monitoring section and I could hear myself in one ear.

    I tried listening to things again and there is still nothing but listening to my own voice.

    This is all I can do.

    I've looked on ways to troubleshoot it and nothing works.

    Any help on how to fix?

    :)

    Thanks for the reply,

    I probably should have clarified that my headset was working before I plugged it into my pc.

    I can hear through only one ear if I play it through my phone, and it is compatible so I haven't needed any adapters.

    I have tried another controller and it is the same results.

    I have read through both links and nothing has helped.

    As I mentioned, I can still hear mic monitoring through it, if that helps anything.

    Again, Thanks for the reply.

    Hey there DrDark,



    Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with using a headset on the Xbox One
    controller.



    I recommend taking a look at the following troubleshooting articles:




    If the problem persists:

    • Try your Xbox One Stereo Headset
      with another device, such as a laptop, to see if the headset is working. If not, the headset will need to be replaced.
    • Try using a Headset Adapter for compatibility issues.
    • Try your Headset on another controller, if you can. If the headset works on the second controller, try
      updating the first controlleragain.
      If that fails, the controller will need to be replaced. To order a replacement, go to the
      Xbox Online Service Center.

    Try this out and let us know the results.

    Sounds like a headset or a xbox controller problem ... do u have another controller to try the headset in to see if its the controller that is the problem? Or do u have another headset to plug into the controller to see if the other headset is the problem?

    Hi there DrDark,

    Thanks for the reply. In reference to your description, it sounds like the headset may be compromised. Have you tried a different headset?

    If the headset is a 3rd party product, I recommend to contact the headset manufacturer for more assistance.

    Hope this helps.
