  1. Xbox one mic stopped working


    This problem just started happening for me last week. I figured my headset was broken but i have the stereo adapter too so waited until i got home after the holidays to try it. Both the Xbox One headset and the stereo adapter with both iphone headphones
    and beats don't work. The only other headset i haven't tried is my PS4 wireless ones because i need to charge them but they worked fine last time i plugged them into my xbox stereo connector through aux. I've tried everything in 2 different controllers. One
    with rechargeable batteries and the other normal batteries.

    Called today and did everything but a factory reset and nothing. They want me to send in my Xbox which will take about 2-3 weeks! i used my xbox for hulu and netflix so this is going to be a huge pain in the ***. I do agree with other commenters, i think
    its a software issue, not hardware if this many people are all of a sudden getting this.

    I'm having the same problem, one day it was working just fine, the next, nadda. I tested my controller, adapter and headset on a friend his console and there everything worked perfect. So apparantly the problem lies with the console (at least in my case)
    Microsoft should patch this, seeing as it's impossible that something broke on my console, never been dropped or whatever, just standing there looking pretty. It has to be software related, first time I had this problem was on Destiny as well so, FIX IT!!!
    Gaming is now practically impossible since I cannot communicate with my friends (e.g. no halo 5 beta, no more destiny raids, ... ) and I refuse to use Kinect because I can't put my tv loud enough to hear anything without my parents complaining. so again, please
    fix this microsoft or bungie, idc who's fault it is, but fix it.

    PS: I have done a system 'restore factory defaults' as well but alas to no avail

    Xbox one mic stopped working

    Same problem tried to talk through my head set mic (turtle beach not that pos one that came with it). Doesn't work at all. I have to use the kinect mic to talk to anyone. It is not the headset, it promise it is something with the xbox. The mic indicator
    lights up when I plug it in or unplug from my controller.

    Update...I switched over to the headset that came with the console and it worked. Not sure what is up with that. I find it hard to believe that my headset mic would just stop working. Would love some input from MS or xbox

  6. Same problem. Happened to me just yesterday. Oddly enough, most everyone I have talked to has said they were playing Destiny when the issue arose. Interesting.

    Xbox one mic stopped working

    Same problem as everyone has mentioned. Mic shows I'm connected. I can hear others through it. If I turn volume up, it beeps. Mute light turns on. No one can hear me. Not in game chat while not being in a party. Not in party chat while ensuring I'm in party
    chat not game chat. Mic logo comes up that shows my mic is plugged in. My NAT is open. This is getting to be absolutely ridiculous.

    What I also find interesting is that when I turn the controller off, and remain in the party, the light next to my name will activate when I speak into the mic while the controller is off.

    I have also had success using the mic when I run an app - such as TV, but then the mic will stop working upon loading a game - such as Grand Theft Auto V.

    I am convinced this is a software issue, especially because people above have purchased new headsets without successfully resolving the problem.

    I'm having the same issue. Every since the Destiny update, I can only talk to people via the Kinect. I have tried buying a new controller, buying a new headset, updating everything. I have even wiped my Xbox as MS told me to do and it still doesn't work.
    Pretty annoying!

    Yeah probably just have to buy a new mic... Also a new controller because mine always drifts up
