Xbox Party Chat is echoing

it depends who is hearing the echo.

if you are hearing an echo then it is most likely that someone else in your party has their mic gain too high and has party chat through their TV or too loud in their headphones. check whose name shows when you hear the echo.

they would need to turn down party chat volume and/or change their mic sensitivity

If it’s your own mic i would look at how close you have the mic to your mouth, if it’s a wireless headset most of them have settings you can change by plugging the dock or headset into a pc and changing them that way.

Hey there oklesrace,

How is the microphone connected to the PC? Are you plugging the mic into the controller or plugging it into an AUX port on the computer tower?

What is the brand and model of the microphone or headset that you're using and what sort of troubleshooting steps have you tried aside from using another app?

Hi sir

The first things i would suggest is the more common problem solving ideas...

Check to make sure your mic isnt too close to your headset,

Make sure your audio settings are adjusted both on your headset and on your console,

make sure your volume on the tv is set to zero while using a headset.

Try a different controller and see if it makes a difference,

And lastly...just make sure its not your friends headset who has there volume and mic to loud and close as you creat a loop when talking.

Thank you

As I understand you are experiencing echo issues with your party.

First, please make sure that you are using the boom mic with the headset. Using the internal mic can cause an echo issue at higher volumes with Xbox One.

If people in your party are complaining about hearing their voice echo back or strange squawk type noises, first try adjusting your "Headset Volume" in the Xbox Guide down one notch from maximum.

If you hear everyone else in your party echo when in party chat, it is likely due to the Xbox One being set to output party chat audio to both speakers and the headset at the same time.


To change this setting:

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select All Settings.
4. Select Display & sound.
5. Select Volume.
6. Select Party chat output
7. Select Headset

You should no longer hear the echo.
