I just got a headset with xbox one compability, but just with like every other headset it doesn't give me any control over headset volume, chat mixer or mic monitoring when plugged in to my wired or wireless controller. They're all fixed values of 100%, 25% and 0% of mic monitoring. Above it says to change volume on my headset. Plugging the headset in gives me the headset icon and it's not overcrossed, joining a party of my own I see the icon that the mic is picking up sound when I speak or make other noises. But nothing is heard in the speakers &/ headset.

[@StylezUnlmtd]

[@hxtedgodzopps2712]

It’s grey because if you can’t here your game sound through your headset that’s why that option is grey because either ur mic has been broken recently or u have not enable headset mic when you press the Xbox button then at the very bottom I see a volume icon you press on that then u turn of headset mic (ON) if that doesn’t work you just gotta buy another microphone 🎤 because l had the same problem about 10 times and it was because l couldn’t hear my game sound through my mic, and maybe it depends what mic u have because u might of bought it of the Chinese store, JK 😅
