Xbox One or Elite controller and Bluetooth headphones on PC

D WaDeee x · Nov 5, 2021

When I have the Xbox One or Elite controller PLUGGED in to the PC and Bluetooth headphones also working, and I try to play a game, the sound cuts off on the whole system.

This doesnt happen in all games but some yes, for example this happens in Dirt Rally 2.0 but not in Skater XL.

However, if I have the controller working wirelessly using its dongle there is no problem.

Any ideas how to fix this issue? because I dont want to keep buying batteries all the time when I have a perfectly good cable.

Hi,

The 3.5mm headphone jack on Xbox One/Series X|S controllers (including Elite controllers) does not work when connected via Bluetooth. It will only work via USB or the official Xbox wireless adaptor.

Also keep in mind that the newer Xbox One controllers (with the headphone jack) can connect directly through Bluetooth so if your PC has a Bluetooth reliever built in it's an easy pair!

they are the same as the standard xbox one s controllers, so with pc you can use via bluetooth(audio through headphone jack not supported)

or wired(supports audio via headphone jack)

Keep in mind there are new advanced controllers out now with ms seil ones coming in march

The new repairable ones from pdp BFG PRO and stealth ultra have hall effects replacable parts and programmable buttons and a built in DAC

Keep in mind these new controllers along with ms seil controllers require an custom adapter not Bluetooth for the new advance polling they use 1000dpi

And no xbox 360 controllers dont use bluetooth you need a xbox wireless connector for pc

Only xbox one s controllers do (the ones with a headphone jack on the bottom ) or the new series s/x controllers with share button and elites 1-2

No these don't seem to provide a solution to my problem...
