If you can solder, you can move the mic cord to the other side of these resistors so the signal doesn't get nerfed. these nerf the signal, making you sound distant or the xbox not picking sound up at all. Apparently the mic signal goes through a couple resistors before going to the headset. Thanks to Soksume, I can now explain why.

If the mic still doesn't work, purchase the OMTP to CTIA adapter in the link above under the 3.5mm 3 black band setup.Īs many have noted, the razer kraken pro mic does not work. Purchase This to hook up the speakers and mic together and plug the remaining port into the chat adapter.

Most PC headsets fall under this category, since basically all PCs have separate mic and speaker ports to allow stereo sound.

It is possible this could be fixed with a software update.Ģ 3.5mm cords - GameCom 777, a lot of PC headsets(NOT KRAKEN PROS) Apple uses a proprietary microphone communication method, so since Microsoft products aren't designed to work on Apples protocol, your in line mic will not work. Be sure you are getting a proper iSonitalk cable, as there are a number of cheap knockoffs that may not work as well. you will have to replace your in-line mic cable with this. Please Note if your in-line mic cord was designed for connecting to Apple products, the adapter above will not work. This adapter cord flips the mic and ground wires, so your mic should work properly when used. the only difference between the 2 is that the mic and ground connections are flipped, so if your headset is OMTP, you'll hear everything but your mic won't work. there is another 3.5mm standard called OMTP that some headset manufacturers use. The chat adapter is wired for the CTIA standard. If your mic still does not work, you have to purchase this cable. Since theses are already the proper prong, you can plug in the 3.5mm jack directly into the chat adapter and everything should work. If you just want to plug a set of headphones in, no mic, just plug the cord directly into the adapter, and you should receive game and chat sounds into the speakers.ģ.5mm 3 black bands - Beats headphones with inline mics, any phone chat cord with a mic and 2 speakers. Headsets with 3.5mm controller jack, 2 black bands - normal heaphones, no mic. now you should have your mic working and sound through your one speaker.

Connect your 3.5mm cord to the 3.5 to 2.5 adapter you purchased, then plug that cord into the 2.5mm to 3.5mm cord included with the chat adapter. If you have a type of headset like this, you need to purchase a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter like the one here. Headsets with 3.5mm controller jack, 2 black bands - phone chat cords(one speaker, one mic), maybe other on my AX Pros and i believe A50s, that would be the optical connection to the xbox/tv. Use whatever connection you used on your 360/ps3 to get game sound. You can use the adapter to receive game sounds as well, but the output will not be great because its not running through your headsets sound processor. If you did this and your microphone won't work, this is why. DO NOT plug a regular 3.5mm cable directly into the adapter. if you recieved the adapter from buying the Xbox One stereo headset, the cable isn't included, but can be bought here. You MUST use the included 2.5mm adapter that came with the adapter. Headsets with 2.5mm controller jack - Tritton AX Pros, 720, Astro A40s, A50s, etc.

Now that the explanation is out of the way, I'll try to summarize how to connect different kinds of headsets below. The adapter cable included with the adapter basically drops one of the speaker channels, allowing mic connection to be wired properly. The extra cable allows stereo speakers to connect to the controller and receive the sounds for both left and right speakers while also including mic support. Previous gen chat cables are only 3 wires, connecting speaker, ground, mic. The 3 rings on the Xbox One jack mean there are 4 wires, which support left speaker, right speaker, ground, and mic. This is the main reason why your chat mic is not working.

Most 360/ps3/pc headsets have a 3.5mm controller cable with 2 black rings. if you look at the 2.5 to 3.5 cable included with the adapter, the male 3.5 mm end has 3 black rings. The chat adapter input cable is a very specific 3.5mm jack. This seems to be the biggest problem most people have, so i'll break this down by headsets i know.

If anyone has any other hints i don't mention, please comment and i'll update the post. After days of internet surfing, i think i can help most people having issues such as mic not working, sound quality, etc. I, like most, have had issues with the chat adapter not working for my headsets(Tritton AX Pros).
