    XBox One Controller Volume Greyed Out


    My son’s headset for his xbox one suddenly stopped working and we thought it was simply a

    broken headset. So i bought him a brand new Xbox One headset but it doesn’t work. Tried to adjust the Controller Volume but it’s greyed out and cannot be adjusted. Did some research online and found out it’s a very common issue. We have tried pretty much
    all the suggestions posted previously and none worked. Wondering if there’s a way to fix this problem yet.

    :)

    XBox One Controller Volume Greyed Out

    3) It’s a headset designed for xbox one controller with this unique interface so there’s no way to try it out at other devices. Yet I can hear the beep when I turn the volume to the max on the headset.
    Hello JZ-116,

    Thanks for keeping us updated. Are you using the
    stereo headset adapter
    ? If so, you can adjust the volume using that adapter. That would probably be why that specific option is greyed out, since the adapter has options to adjust the chat mixer and the overall volume.

    Aside from that, how exactly is the headset not working? Are you not able to hear anything at all? Can others hear you, or can you hear others? Headset issues are one of 3 things.

    1. A hardware issue, in which case you may need to replace the controller or headset
    2. A software issue, in which case updating the controller would have helped. *Are you part of the insider program?
    3. A network issue, in which case we would need to troubleshoot your network hardware/settings. Have you checked your NAT type in your

      network settings
      ?

    *Please note that if you are part of the preview program, you should
    report this issue through the insider hub, as well as to the

    insider reddit

    Try 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 your Headset on another controller, if you can. If the headset works on the second controller, try
      updating the first controller again. 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.

    XBox One Controller Volume Greyed Out

    1) It’s an Xbox one headset by MS, not a third party product so I assume there shouldn’t be compatibility issue.

    2) I have tried it on both our controllers and it didn’t work for neither.

    3) It’s a headset designed for xbox one controller with this unique interface so there’s no way to try it out at other devices. Yet I can hear the beep when I turn the volume to the max on the headset.

    The controller works fine in other aspects and it worked perfectly with headsets previously. Is it a software update problem with MS? It just doesn’t make sense for me spending 120 bucks for two new controllers which may not work neither or stop working
    again down the road.

    Thanks for the reply. The firmware on the controller is upto date but the volume option is still greyed out.
