Xbox One X And Elite controller - no audio via headphone port, but standard controller works

I have an Xbox One X and thought I would try the Dolby Atmos via headphones for late night gaming.

This works well with the standard controller or the Xbox One S controller via the headphone port.

Yet when trying to do the same with the Elite controller, it just won’t work.

Has there been a hardware update that resolves issues with a Apple type headphone connections on these newer controllers OR is my Elite controller faulty?

Xbox Wireless Adapter for Win10 PC: No rumble or headset audio support?

Hey everyone,

Audio worked out of the box for me. A USB Audio Device appeared when I plugged the Stereo Headset adaptor into the controller AND plugged headphones into the adaptor.

This is using a standard Xbox One controller (i.e. not an elite) via the wireless adaptor with v20.24.34.491 drivers.

 

Loud white/static noise from Xbox Elite Controller 3.5mm jack

I am using Windows 10, the elite controller is connected via the Xbox wireless adapter/ USB cable. The headphones that I am using: audio technica ath-im70, I have also try other headphones, the same problem persists. The problem is as follows, when controller
is off I plug in headphones, no white/static noise, the noise starts when controller finish connecting with the wireless adapter or via USB cable. Any solutions?

 

Hi there Col J Matrix UK,

Beats & Apple headphones use OMTP standard for 3.5mm audio jacks but Xbox One uses the CTIA standard. You can try purchasing a third-party accessory CTIA to OTMP adapter but we're afraid we're not able to guarantee that will help.



For best results, you'd want to use a headset with CTIA as called out on the page here:
Connecting Compatible Headsets | Xbox One .

If you try this using an official Xbox headset such as the
chat headset that may have come packaged with your Xbox One console, do you still experience this issue?
