Could you pin this

-Has HyperX QuadCast -Realizes I can't use it -Accepts it, and is glad someone answered my question immediately

[@PughsReview]

I have a video where you can use that check out one of my other videos on just usb mic on xbox.

[@alanmartinez5855]

I appreciate all of this information and thank you for finding solutions to problems that shouldn't exist to begin with. PS5 its plug and play but with Xbox it's never the case.

[@PughsReview]

I agree I wish Microsoft would just fix this.

[@R00kTruth]

@@PughsReview it is how they want it, as it's an additional entree root for rooting the xbox.

[@uomocavallo6016]

Xbox should add this feature....

[@PughsReview]

They should for sure 💯

[@chase_007]

Will it work with a headset that already has a mic on it

[@PughsReview]

@chasep.7829 if you can mute it it should I was able to.

[@Kenwood1963wilkenson-os8qr]

Thanks

[@Phillymedia215]

Omg bro I did not think I would need all this just to use my external mic, but thank you, I have a trip to make tomorrow to Best Buy

I'll be live tonight at 9pm est if you have questions about the set up.

[@g.o.9513]

Love the mic boom arms.

[@Kenwood1963wilkenson-os8qr]

it ok

[@dukestew]

thanks for showing us its possible!

[@PughsReview]

Your welcome I hope xbox will do the right thing one day. And truly make it plug and play

[@davidruvers6281]

If you have a headset that has a 3.5mm microphone jack type can plug it straight to the microphone and use the mic like that but use the isolator because it will buzz.

[@IndigoVibez_TV]

Thank you thank you thank you I got the Maono mic gaming usb microphone and I did the wired mic version works beautifully I love it thank you soo much

[@PughsReview]

Gald I could help

[@xdezteerx4748]

[@Soulshock3]

Great video! Hopefully it will work when I try it out, do you know if your pc mic works on the Xbox the quad cast? I have the same mic

[@evilwishing]

thank you !

[@PughsReview]

You are very welcome. Thank you for the comment

[@joe2go69]

Quick question, whats the controller you used in the video?

[@squidk6392]

Love your vids but I have a quick question. What kind of headset do I need? Thx

[@reachyouteachyou4649]

Great

[@j.cobgren]

I use the AKG P120 XLR Condenser Microphone with my Xbox Series X. I run an XLR cable to a Phantom Power Supply and then use an XLR to Headphone Jack cable to go into a headphone splitter. (Just in case you wanted to know about any other microphones.) Also, can you use this method with any wired controller or does it have to be a specific type.

[@kintsuko]

So I have a headphone jack in my monitor that i use. Will i need a splitter? cant I just plug the mic into the controller and then my headphones into the monitor?

[@swayboogiesway]

Would this set up work with the kiwis orchestra wired ear buds?

[@Possibly_Teo]

Yo does it work for zealsound mics it had the 2 plug in things that you said it should?

[@chriskeys6326]

I do have the same mic and I don’t have a pro wired controller will it not work unless I do or will I need to hook the controller up to a power source too

[@iRJRx]

Hey man, I run iems on pc and love them on my Xbox controller. Obviously no mic, could I run a splitter and a 3.5 jack mic? Non usb?

[@noahmitchell148]

First off, thank you so much. Will my Xbox Elite Controller v2 work if I use the Samson mic linked? I always play with it plug in with a USB-C as well, if that helps. Also, will a normal Microsoft Xbox controller worked if its wired connection?

[@PughsReview]

So with my elites series 2 it works with out the usb cable plug up but as soon as you plug it up it stops working weird. I'd recommend my older video woth the turtle Beach adapter if you want to use that controller with a power cable. I'll link it if you haven't seen it. Let me know.

[@Snoozieee]

would you mind double checking if the tonor td510 has the mic monitoring thing, i think it does but im not exactly sure what to look for, id appreciate it

[@nemex_9568]

greetings, I understand English a little less well, so I use the translation. did i understand that this method only works on pro controller or? I am planning to buy a Tonor TD510 usb/xlr Dynamic, would it work on xbox. Can I have one more explanation, when the mic is connected to the PC for xbox and it works in praty chat, does it also work in game chat, I play cross play games so that's why I'm asking.

[@user-zy4ce4bi2s]

And how do i make the fifine mixer work with all the setup u showed in the vid? Please answer 🙏

[@DoomZaaa]

Will it work with a blue yeti x ?

[@FlashFire-ch9sp]

Can i use a random low quality webcam mic?

[@lilj9331]

So can i use the hyperx with this method?

[@Solly847]

I might buy the mic

[@sVLunar]

Would I be able to use any mic in this video with an elite series 2 controller?

[@koltoncj6873]

Sounds like this won’t work for the ATH-M50xSTS 😢 been digging for days on if this headset can work with XSX. I feel like there’s gotta be a way since it’s analog

[@Lord_SQUIDIOUS]

Hey sir, do you know anything about the Sampson co1u pro condensed mic?

[@Liyah512]

I followed the instructions but it seems the mic cannot be heard on my streams. Any idea why?

[@the_yeetgod5885]

Can I use my elite controller with the PD200X also can I just plug in a wireless one with the wire?

[@giantoftheeast991]

I got this exact setup and for some reason it won't work. My head is a ASTRO A10 and my controller is an elite series 2 controller. Help!

[@snipercj8]

Would an afterglow ag9 headset work it wireless but it I have a aux cord plugged into it ?

[@Scant85FDM]

Ok so I have a hyperx comcast s but I stream on streamlabs my issue is my capture card needs a 3.5mm port and not a usb port I need to connect my mic to the capture card but don’t know what adaptor I need. Also when I put in stand alone to pc and headset to chat link cable I can hear me but I can’t hear game play

[@jeremyalejo6662]

Will this method work with gaming iems and a fifine am8t ?

[@DylanzFN]

Does this work with the default xbox controller?

[@Krtkixo]

I bought everything from u links even the mics and it’s still not working pls help why it’s not working

[@elijadon]

can we plug the mic to the controller without the attachment & use our headset connected to monitor?

[@PughsReview]

I am not sure since when you hook up to the Controller, all the sound goes to the controller unless there's a way to switch it to do both. Good question tho.

[@user-zy4ce4bi2s]

Does it work on the victrix xbox controller ?

[@bean4974]

4:44 was that a Freudian slip, or was that a quick coming out moment? ❤

[@jaysexploration2862]

My mic isn’t coming up as when I talk. I got the fifine AM8. I don’t know what to do

[@AhmedMohammed-wo3vo]

Will this work with the Xbox elite series 2 controller?

[@daydayjones-rm6sl]

Do we need a headphone audio converter

[@YT-user716]

Great Vid! Does it matter what kind of controller to use? I am for example using a razer wolverine ultimate

[@PughsReview]

You should be good.

[@YT-user716]

Yeah, its working without any problems. Thank you!

[@Phnxi]

if i have a steel series headset that already has a mic on it can i still do this? and use the headset just for audio? the mic slides into the headset and can be muted. (GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & Windows 10/11, Plug and Play Gaming Gamepad with Hall Effect Joysticks/Hall Trigger, 3.5mm Audio Jack) would this controller work too?

[@PughsReview]

As long as it is wired it should work

[@b00zer74]

Do you need to have a pro controller for it

[@bananaman4614]

Does it work with an xbox elite series 2 controller?

[@Acecaliberyt]

Does an audio pro mic work I’m not sure?

[@angelalverz1356]

Does a usb adapter work on xbox with a usb headset that doesn't work on xbox Wireless?

[@default5327]

So i just got the p200 maono and all the cables needed. I have both a pro series and a wireless controller. And it doesn't work. Is there a specific controller or brand i need?

[@PughsReview]

If you're using an Xbox wireless controller. You will need the Turtle Beach stereo adapter. If you have that adapter and it's still not working make sure you have the right cables with the three lines on them and hit the button on the bottom of the Turtle Beach adapter that says mic preset sometimes you get that button it'll make everything work hope that helps.

[@vincentwood8259]

I did all of that and it still doesnt work but i was using syncwire

[@Zmx44]

Will a audio pro USB mic work to hook it up to my Xbox

[@TheMrHayzee]

My wife got me the Maono DGM20S for Christmas I have the splitter, the 3.5m aux, and everything but the ground loop iso. Is that the only thing I’m needing now to fully clear up the audio everything works fine except when I talk in a party chat I have a bit of scratchy/ breakup sound.

[@PughsReview]

If you have bad audio, try another controller. Your port could be bad if not that a cable or even the mic. It's process of elimination there's really no easy way to diagnose since your using lots of cable and adapter unfortunately.

[@TheMrHayzee]

My only concern with that is I’m currently using/trying to use a fairly new (less than a year old) elite series 2 controller. I would hope the controller is still in good shape and that it’s not the issue. I don’t have a ground loop isolator. Being it’s an elite series 2 could that be why? I only ask because I’m on pretty short supply when it comes to extra controllers. By the way I appreciate you commenting and helping me out.

[@PughsReview]

If your running it wirless then no it shouldn't be you needing a ground loop isolator. I have one as well no issues with that when testing. You should have the original xbox controller that came with the xbox. Just do a quick test with it.

[@TheMrHayzee]

The different controller worked thank you sir! Do you happen to know if there’s a way to get it to work with a series 2 elite? I had my wife join a party to test how I sounded through the mic; with the elite I had break up and a weird noise. With a regular controller worked just fine.

[@XxXZaLighting]

Do I need to have a pro controller for this to work?

[@brandonlopresti1099]

Will it work with an elite series two or no I’ve seen your reply what do you mean by as soon as u plug it up it won’t work

[@PughsReview]

[@andrewfriedl6046]

I just got the fifine xlr dynamic microphone and have the elite controller. Would this method work?

[@PughsReview]

No you need a stereo adapter from Turtle Beach I have other videos like that on my KZbin channel go check them out.

[@Lisanr12]

Can it be any splitter or has it to be the exact same splitter as in the video?

[@PughsReview]

Same

My son plays only on Xbox can you plug the mic into a wall usb for power or will it work plugged into the Xbox?

Hey great video but I have a wireless headset so, Is there any possible methods to use a usb mic setup with a wireless headphone?

[@PughsReview]

So I haven't tried ot but if you have a dongle for the headset then get an adapter and plug it into where these headset plug to the splitter but if it connects to the xbox then you can try this method. Hope that helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX29mamtadeLg7c

Works with my scuf controller. I just don’t have in game audio

What do I do if it’s making a buzzing noise

[@slulimanabduallh3075]

What is the solution to the buzzing sound in the microphone for gaming headphones with a 3.5 input?

[@PughsReview]

If you're using a wired controller, you need a ground loop isolator

Does the blue yeti work?

do you think a usb aux would work for the other mics??

[@PughsReview]

No I've tried lol

Have the same mic as the one in the video yet it’s not producing audio

[@triple_A_rockhound]

One thing they should of added is blutooth to the controllers so we can use wireless 😂how much some go for why not 🤔

[@PughsReview]

Yea, someone said if you have a dongle just get an adapter to go to 3.5 and hook to the splitter and it will work I haven't test this I need to tho.

I need more detail. What are you exactly talking about?

[@wilmarcruzmora8907]

Hi When you connect the microphone and headphones, is the sound you hear inverted? When I use this way of connecting the microphone, the sound that should be heard through the right speaker is heard through the left speaker, and the sound that should be heard through the left speaker is heard through the right speaker. Is this happening to you? If so, is there a way to solve it? Greetings, I am from Colombia

[@PughsReview]

Hello, So that hasent happen to me try all these unplug the cable from the controller and if that don't work try unplugging the controller and the plugging it back up.

[@wilmarcruzmora8907]

It doesn't work, I have tried two types of adapters that divide the audio and the microphone, but when I connect the headphones (Razer Tournament Edition) and play an audio test video, the sound is inverted. The easiest solution from what I've read is to use the headphones the other way around, that's why I'm looking for a solution.@@PughsReview

[@PughsReview]

I've heard this issue has happen with xbox before I haven't dealt with it are had it happen so I can't give you any more advice on it sorry

[@wilmarcruzmora8907]

First, thanks for helping me. I tested it with a friend and the same thing happens when he connects the adapter, the solution is to put the headphones on backwards, but not all headphones are comfortable this way. Your videos have helped me, because I tested it with the Xbox app on my laptop and everything works without having to connect to my Xbox. Thank you I appreciate your time@@PughsReview

[@PughsReview]

@wilmarcruzmora8907 no problem. I'm glad I was able to be of some assistance.

[@lakieshabanks673]

what about a TONOR USB Microphone?

[@DrBl4ze]

Does it work if i have a built-in microphone in my headset (even if i turn it off/mute it)?

[@PughsReview]

Either or

[@DrBl4ze]

Ok, well is it obligated to use the isolator and does it work on any videogames by chance?

[@michaellgma]

I have one of every item but it's still not working, maybe it's cuz I'm using a xbox Series elite 2 controller?...

I have the Samson, how important is the ground loop part?

[@PughsReview]

If it's a wired controller it's a must or bad buzzing will happen

[@OfficialWhip]

@@PughsReview makes sense, I was going to try and use it for game chat but I believe if a headset is connected game chat only goes through the headset and I use pc and xbox so this won't work for my case. Thankyou for the reply though, hoping more people help

[@tom2651]

is it possible to use a microphone without the aux plugin?

[@PughsReview]

Not with this method I do have a video on how to remote stream your Xbox to your PC and you can plug your mic up to your PC and do it that way so check that video out

[@TheDougSpot]

Is there a way to just plug a mic in without all the extra stuff. I don’t need headphones or anything, just a way to send audio to the in game chat

[@PughsReview]

You can remote stream to pc and run a usb mic that way I have a video on it.

[@TheDougSpot]

@@PughsReview I guess what I’m really asking is if there’s any way to get audio from another source like a soundboard so that it can be heard by other players. Similar to what the call of duty dj does

See if this would help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/babFhYGIa7mCn7s

I bought the entire Amazon list in your description, do each step as in your video (from what is required to connecting the USB power of the microphone to the xbox to give it power) and it did not work, it never recognized the mi xbox series x the microphone .

@@PughsReview alright, thanks for responding so quickly. I need to send my battlebeaver into repair over the holidays, and will get a gamesir while I wait, so I will be able to test it. Just would suck if it didnt work and I would have a 300$ controller and 200$ audio setup which isn’t compatible 😭

[@cohpefps]

@@PughsReview have been doing some research, and want to know if usb microphones have better quality than a higher end headset mic? With all the adapters and due to it being run through just a controller i feel like it would affect quality on either the mic or headset, or is it still pretty nice?

[@PughsReview]

True you will always lose quality the more adapters you hook up but unless you have a pretty expensive headset with a mic I would assume you will still have better quality put of a usb mic I've never been told I sound like crap. And all the videos I've done on it have probably 200k views and know ones every said it sounded like crap so there's that lol.

If you're running an elite controller, you need the turtle beach adapter.

I tried this and I can’t get the Mic to work. I got gaming earbuds, the Moano, the ground loop isolator, and have it hooked up exactly as you did and the mic won’t pick up my voice.

What mic and controller are you using?

[@bradlymcdabz7701]

The Moano mic you linked and the Gamesir wired controller, also from the video 😢

[@PughsReview]

Did you overclock the game sir controller in the app to 1000. If you did you lose the headphone Jack for that controller itself which means the mic will not work through that controller.

[@bradlymcdabz7701]

@@PughsReview I’ve never used the app ever. Lol. I do not have a PC/laptop. Only an Xbox Series S

[@PughsReview]

Well technically you can use the app on the Xbox as well. But since you haven't used the app will rule that out. The only thing I can recommend is process of elimination start by hooking up a headset to the controller to make sure you get sound going to the controller and then if so you can try a different mic or try different cables and controller until you find the issue.
