Xbox & Macbook Audio Project / Question.

I’m asking these questions for a reason. Buying an Xbox headset isn’t a solution, I have a really good one.

I have two Xbox (Series X) audio questions/scenarios I’m trying to create. One wireless, the other wired. For the tethered scenario. I’m assuming the Xbox Series X audio port on the bottom of the controller is a 3.5mm TRRS audio connector. Which typically means:

• Tip (T): Typically carries the left audio channel (L) for stereo output.
• Ring 1 (R1): Usually carries the right audio channel (R) for stereo output.
• Ring 2 (R2): Functions as the microphone input (MIC) for capturing audio input.
• Sleeve (S): Serves as the common ground (GND) connection.

Is this correct, will this configuration allows a single TRRS connector to handle both audio output and microphone input? How is the audio quality compared to a nice Bluetooth Headset?

My second audio scenario may require a bit of MacOS knowledge. Is there a way to be able to use a MacBook’s audio output sent to my Xbox as a mic and have the audio from Xbox be sent to my Macbook? I can a create MacOS virtual audio Interface and have no issues routing audio around on MacOS, the hurdle is broadcast it from my MacBook to my Xbox. I’m not sure if there is a way to spoof a Bluetooth headset if Xbox won’t directly allow Bluetooth audio back and forth allowing Xbox game play audio sent to my MacBook as the Xbox receives Mic audio in return.
