Xbox mic not working

My Xbox mic is not working. I can hear my friends when I am in a party but they cannot hear me.

This started 2 days ago when they could hear me on and off throughout the game. Last night it started the same and within twenty minutes they could not hear me at all. I have tried the following things to try to sort the issue:

• Restarted and cycled the Xbox
• Spent £100 on a new control and mic
• checked NAT type which is open
• Checked for updates for both control and console.
• Checked mute button
• Checked audio settings are turned on and volume is up
• Made sure my friends haven't muted me
• Checked mute settings in party

Any ideas solving this issue would be appreciated!

Xbox Mic Not Working

My mic just recently stopped working. I have no idea why

 

Try the steps below and see if any of this helps.

The Xbox One controller uses the same wiring standard that Android phones use (CTIA). If you have an Android phone, plug in your headset and see if you hear anything and try and make a call using the headset, make sure the mic is working too.

Apple phones use an OMTP standard and the mic and ground wire are flipped and the mic doesn't work on the Xbox controller.
