Hello! Idk if your gonna read this considering that this is an old video but I'm having trouble connecting ANY headset on all controls i have. I bought a new control and it didn't work either. I connected all of my headsets to my PC and phone and the mic works fine, it's just that when i turn on the mic on Xbox it only picks up breathing or wind unless the mic is in my mouth. I've tried all of the options in this video including restarting the console and nothing seems to work. Can you help or tell me where I can get help?
