Hey guys! I hope this video helps those of you looking to use a wireless headset with your Xbox Series S/X Elgato setup. This can be a little tricky as Xbox cannot use USB mic connected to the console, and game chat (not Xbox party chat) audio get's re-routed any time headsets are connected to the console. (Check METHOD #1) If you own an Xbox compatible wireless headset and a USB mic + only care about recording game audio with Xbox party chat (Check METHOD #2) If you're looking to use ANY wireless headset for chat and commentary + record game audio, game chat, and Xbox party chat + the ability to hear alerts, Spotify, etc. - Windows OS only, Mac users I recommend running Bootcamp or Parallels Comment if you have any questions, or DM my socials linked in the description!

No, you don’t if you want Chat to work with your headset, go to settings under chat audio change it from headset to speakers(you’ll be able to hear the chat through your headset and your streaming software), and you’ll be able to record your Chat party, and your other mic that skin next to the computer will be the same thing as your headset mic audio. You just have to have an extra mic connected to your PC.

I use method 2 right now with my turtle beach stealth 420x. no adapter needed just plug-in the transmitter that it comes with. The only problem is, at least I’ve only experienced it on modern warfare 2 is sometimes when you are using remote play for game chat, for some reason controls will disable and the only way to fix that is by closing out MW2 and the Xbox app and re-launch with out the Xbox app running. To make this make sense, sometimes when I go into the recent players list to message or add somebody, my controls will no longer work, and then I have to dashboard. The other problem is, if you want to take a screenshot or a quick video clip, those functions will not work when remote play is active. If anyone has fixes for the two of these, please reply to this comment, and you will be forever my hero.
