How To Fix Mic & Headset Not Working On Xbox Series X|S

[@emmanuelcoronado4301]

I had an issue where I could talk at the party or Discord with my mic but couldn't pick up game audio. Then, when I started messing around with the audio and music tab, I was able to pick up game audio again. GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL. THANK YOU, MAN!!!

[@justak4837]

OH MY GOD you’re a flipping legend… been having trouble on warzone for a month with audio, did every step and now I can finally hear people thank you so much man🤘🏾🤘🏾

What if it says it's connected and everything but there's no sound coming from the headphones only the TV or console?

[@tristanmurray3692]
