    Having continuous issues with adapters for headsets.

    Have purchased both the MSFT Stereo headset and a Turtle Beach headset now and both have issues with the adapters.

    They work for a period of time and then all i hear is static, can barley hear it and the mic no longer works, i have tried --

    - Changing Batteries

    - Tried two controllers

    - Tried two adapters

    - Updating Firmware (no updates available)

    Nothing seems to help, occasionally it will come back for a while and then its broken again for no particularly obvious reason.

    Has anyone had success with repairs to these issues? i have seen MANY threads on the same issue but none seem to have a fix that really works, is it just a lost cause of is there actually something that works?

    :)

    XBox Stero Headset Adapter issues

    Hello Ultan,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue. When you update the controller do you have the headset plugged in at the same time? Even running the update when there isn't one sometimes fixes minor issues. Also this is a well known issue, especially after
    updates for the console. You can try these steps:

    1.) power cycle console

    2.)Go to settings> Kinect and Devices> Devices and Accessories> [...]> Assign controller to account> Update control> unassign account> test headset/chat

    3.)Make sure mic is "ON" Press the home button> go to the Gear on the
    menu> Audio> Turn Mic off and on. OR go to settings> Kinect and Devices> Devices and Accessories> [...]>Audio> Mic on> Adjust volume.

    4.)You can test your controller if it is broken by "Buzzing" the controller. The buzz feature is connected to the headset port, and if the controller does not buzz then the port may be damaged.
    [Turning on Vibration if it does not "Buzz"> Settings> Ease of Access>
    Controller> Vibration Settings> Turn on Vibration].

    5.)Some mics are detachable and may be damaged so try testing the headset on another device to see if it works (Example: windows 10.

    Test the Headset with Skype Test or Voice Recorder). If there is an issue with using the headset on an Xbox controller, you can try using a headset adaptor.

    6.) Make sure there is no Enforcement on the account.

    7.) Make sure the controller is not full of dust in the headset port (you can use compressed air to clear the dust).

    8..) Make sure controller is fully charged/ change battery type.

    9.) Use a headset adapter or standard headphones (Main fix)

    10) Soft or full console reset. (may not work all the time)

    Thanks,

    Brad

    My mic won’t show up on my xbox

    Hey

    There could be a lot of reasons causing that issue. You will want too troubleshoot the issue. For example

    Are you using the stero adapter with the headset or just pluging right into the controller 3.5mm jack? If your using the adapter is possable its faluty

    Try the headset on a other controller if it works then its likley the other controller auido port isnt working

    Try the headset on a other device such has a PC or phone if the headset to test the headset

    Also make sure your controller is updated
