Xbox sS Mic isn't working in game chat only on one account

Hi there SS KaRiZMA,

Is this an xbox stereo adapter or the default chat headset that comes with the Xbox?

If its an stereo adapter, please share what mic/headset is being plugged in. Make / Model#.

Oh so basically you want a completely wireless headset because the cord that goes from the controller to your earpiece is just sooooo in the way! Oh and by the way..... How the hell can you hear surround sound properly when one ear is completely blocked
by an earpiece being stuck in it? You might as well be deaf in one ear in which case, SS isn't really going to be of much use. I too have a really good SS setup but when I'm chatting with people I'd always prefer a headset. Besides its not like I can have
the SS system to loud when chatting anyway. It annoys others in the party when they can hear all you guns and explosions pumping through the mic.

i have this exact same issue with my day on controller like the game in headset volume stuff works but mic isn't responding at all for people to hear me talk in game chat or party chat yet if i go to skype the mic works just fine.

It's 2014, we should not have to be dealing with corded mics anymore. A wireless chat headset over one ear may not be the perfect solution for every gamer, all the time, but, for the reasons Blue Illusion has pointed out (and many others), a SS headset isn't
either.

I don't understand how they could go a year without releasing a simple wireless headset as pictured in the OP, or at least some sort of wireless adapter for the controller that has BT or standard WiFi transmitters so that most common headsets & earpieces
would be compatible.

BTW, here are some other reasons you might prefer a chat headset and SS over SS headphones:

- Listening to a baby monitor while sneaking in some gaming

- When you have other people in your gaming room that you want to talk to (just mute yourself)

- When you want to go to the bathroom without either removing your headset or carrying the controller with you

- Maybe you want to run downstairs and throw in a load of laundry between matches, but also want to keep your headset on to keep talking with your friends

I do agree that I have to keep the volume down a bit on my SS when playing with the chat headset on because otherwise the other players will hear my game audio over my mic. But I imagine that if I looked into it, I could find a BT or WiFi headset that would
be better at isolating my voice from the ambient sound in the room than the one that comes packaged with the xbox one. If only the XO was compatible with the most common technologies of today, or at least if MS would release their own WiFi Direct chat headset
for the console.

I'm not after a set of SS headphones. There are already some that work with the X1 with an adaptor if I wanted headphones. I have no desire to wear a heavy set of headgear for several hours when I'm gaming and I already have a decent SS system. All I need
is a wireless mic. It's one of my [not so little] peeves about X1.
