Xbox One controller for PC chatpad - light blinking orange

nineballcirno · Jan 12, 2016

I recently purchased a chatpad for my Xbox One controller for PC, and it arrived today, though the light is blinking orange and it won't change to green. The chatpad has been tested in Steam big picture mode yet there's no input, and I've tried updating
drivers via the device manager with no success. I've contacted support and been redirected three times in hopes of having my question answered but with no luck, however drivers have been mentioned and I'm not sure where to get the drivers if the device manager
won't install new drivers required.

Go to the Store and download the Xbox Accessories app. It can then be used to update the firmware on the Xbox One controller and afterward it should be working. It did for me.

@Ice DjKilla,

Hello yammerbox.

See the quote below:

Connecting the Xbox One Chatpad for the first time

You must update both your Xbox One console and your Xbox One Controller for the Xbox One Chatpad to work correctly. Follow these steps:

Update your console to the most recent Xbox One operating system. The chatpad requires your console to have a November 2015 (or later) update. For more information, see Xbox One operating system versions and system updates.

Turn on your Xbox One Controller.

Insert the chatpad into the controller.

Update your Xbox One Controller. The orange LED will blink to indicate that it's connected and requires an update. See Update your Xbox One Controller for more information.

Connect a 3.5-mm audio headset cable to the chatpad. For more information, see Connecting a compatible headset to Xbox One.

Here is the link to the above information:

The orange blinking light means it needs an update, it says "You must update both your Xbox One console and your Xbox One Controller for the Xbox One Chatpad to work correctly."

Since your using it with your PC, attach a micro usb cable, run a update scan for Windows & Microsoft updates, and make sure all drivers are installed.
