Xbox X thinks my USB headset is a controller

  1. Xbox X thinks my USB headset is a controller


    I have trouble with some games when I get on the “press A to continue” because my Xbox thinks that the USB I have plugged in (which is for my headset) is a controller/mouse. I learned that by unplugging for a second and then pressing A tends to let me play the games, but I is there no way to make my Xbox know that the USB is a headset and not a mouse/keyboard?

    :)

    Xbox One headset not working

    I recently purchased the Hyper X Cloud 2 headset. This headset comes with an Audio control box that has a USB plug in. However when i plugged it into my Xbox it doesn’t work. I read a couple other questions regarding USB audio inputs and saw mixed
    answers. Is there anything i can do to make this work?
    Headsets with USBs don't work on xbox. If you have a jack with it you should use that instead. (plugs into controller)

    Xbox Series X type-c port?

    On the video, Xbox Series X has USB type A only.

    The new controller, I think is type-A (Xbox Series X) to type-c (controller). (Elite2 is a to c usb)

    Xbox series X - AUDIO - USB vs 3.5mm headphones - Quality & Latency

    I understand you about the xbox license.

    I rather not want to have a wireless headset because I dont like charging and the battery life will decrease over time. So that leave me with two options:
    1. Wired, 3.5mm into the Xbox series x controller
    2. Wired, usb, into the Xbox series X

    I checked the microsoft store and there are only 2 compatible series X headsets. Both wireles.

    Do you know any wired Xbox series X headset? That is compatible with the series x? I prefer USB but have to go 3.5mm otherwise.
