Setup A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro TR with Xbox One | ASTRO Gaming

[@rustypenny3296]

Actually guys, if you have your PC right next to your console like I do you can get PC sound AND your console sound (Works with any console with an optical port). All you have to do is plug your USB into your PC, and plug your optical cable into your console and bam. That's it, you got sound out of both your PC and your console so you can skype, while still hear your game. Like this comment so everyone knows!

[@TheDarkShadow360]

+Rusty Penny It's a good tip! Also worth noting that there is a skype app inside xbox so if you dont have the mixamp, you can still use skype... but for music, this is the best (and only as far as i know) solution! :)

[@Scott-mp8mu]

Rusty Penny when I do this I can use the headset mic in xbl party

[@alexpark1694]

who wud want to buy the hedset just to use skype isted of the actual mic

[@epiicsoldier212]

Good to know

[@drewdadof2461]

Yeah, but you cant chat in an Xbox party

[@LoNeNINJAHD]

Got these today really worth it. Was a bit worried about setup and the chat not working but it's fine and the noise is fantastic

[@mxskmg4]

the settings are different now, this needs to be updated

[@ejay3561]

Nick Howard you must be special if you don’t know how to do it, just plug everything in and it should work

[@Kyubeyaz]

@@ejay3561 he's talking about the xbox headass all the settings changed into some different things

[@brandys45]

@@Kyubeyaz Still you must be a special kid not to follow your own pat, settings are the same, interface just changed.

[@ejay3561]

@@KyubeyazI bought mine about 2 months ago, I've had no problems with any settings except switching what account is using the mic, but in that case, you can turn off and on the headset, and the notification "headset assigned" pops up, and you just hold the Xbox home button and you can change it. I can't think of any other settings wrong with the mic

are you guys planning to release a black set for the xbox one?

+astrogaming Can you use Old A40s with the mix-ampTR?

[@zachbrain9569]

+SkiwiGaming I have them. You a an use an aux cord from your mix amp to your computer. But you can't use the mic.

[@piercecaulder7837]

If you didn't get the xbox mixamp (white one) for the xbox then you won't have chat because only the xbox one comes with a specific chip to allow you to do this.

[@jeffreydennis4040]

Thank you for a simple easy video. To the point and explained everything! Will be getting one soon

[@AngryHandstands]

Sooo how the hell do i chat with my friends then, exactly? There's no cable connected from my controller to the headset or the mixamp. I feel like I just got royally boned by Astro.

[@ozenrique]

+That Fat Kid You no longer need the chat adapter with the MixAmp Pro TR

[@sizznic]

+That Fat Kid Xbox live chat will transmit through the UBS cable that connects the mixamp to the xbox. If only the A50's would do this as well...

[@iyello5481]

+sizznic How can i update the controller when it isn't connected with the headset?

[@MrMonstercaulk]

+i Yello you connect the USB cable that came with the controller into your xbox and update it. you also make sure your console is up to date and your mix amp firmware is up to date. these are all done separately

[@Lurkai]

+sizznic they wouldnt be wirless wouldnt they?

Set up just like this video but my stream is getting a loud buzz from my mic. How do I fix this?

I really want to use my Elgato HD60 S along with this so I can do live commentary as I play (I.e. Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, etc.) Is there a way I can accomplish this without feeling like I could’ve gone with a cheaper approach? Any help will do great !

[@sniperuptop]

So there are no attatchments or cords on the actual xbox one controller itself? it would work with the scufs just fine?

+sniperuptop yes

[@mikeimmonen6619]

+james goldstein Not even on the PS4 version if you use it on the One..?

[@Samson_Adams]

If anyone can help me please, I bought the white mixamp with the black headset and the headset did not come with the same cord as shown in this video. Is this supposed to come? The headset says PC on the box

[@iMuzik3]

I found this very helpful. Thank-you!

[@adastruh]

I just bought the A40 TR with the m80 mixamp two days ago, now im saving up for the Mixamp Pro! And is the audio 7.1?

[@Not-dz6br]

Dude, this doesn’t work. I can hear but my microphone does not get picked up at all, and there’s no audio input settings on Xbox One!!! How do I fix this!?

[@masonlotts8042]

I'm having the same problem

[@CaptainLiones]

please show pc setup. and also i dont have a optical out port on my laptop does it mean i have to use the usb which doesn't have 7.1 surround sound but on 5.1?

[@rustypenny3296]

+CaptainLiones lol PC set up, plug USB in. Done.

[@CaptainLiones]

i know how to set up it's just that the USB is only 6 channeled and on the old models optical cable was needed.

[@Vaegh]

can you plug say a computer through the AUX for audio at the same time?

[@callummcwilliams4554]

It's Roseyy did you figure it out? Same problem, with Gen 1 and Gen 3 mixamps

[@RasorShoTz]

is there a difference between the PS4 and XB1 A40 TR headsets? some stores only sell PS4 ones and there doesn't appear to be a difference as there is no controller cable or are the mixamps madeand programmed differently

[@SushiPizza42]

will this set up mean the headset produced 7.1 surround sound? Also do you have to have anything connected to our controller?

[@TheYoutubeG.O.A.T]

does it play through both headset and tv with these settings altered? or just headset and if so how do i change it so that i can get it going through both. thank you.

[@prestonwhite158]

I can hear everything and everyone but no one can hear me. I don't have a PC to update mixamp. Am I better off just returning it. All plugs are plugged in to right spot

[@mehranahmed1746]

how long are the cables that plugs into the mix amp?

You just dont use the tr unless you have a ps4 tr

[@The_Cannabis_Connoisseur]

U can the Xbox version on the PS4, just out it in PC mode and everything works fine even game chat!!

[@TheSixenz]

are these A40's as good as the first gen A40's? I had some A40's for my 360 and loved them, too bad I can't use them for my Xbox One.. so, are these new Astro's as good as the old ones? or should I wait for the A50's? if they make them for the XB1

[@YorkerY28]

Does the Xbox version of the A40s have the same echo as the others? (Shooting a gun in battlefield, halo, call of duty, etc...outside sounds like it's going off in a pipe or tunnel)

[@TheDiscardedFoot]

Is there a way to use this for xbox and PC simultaneously? I have the 2010 version mixamp and I plug the toslink cable into the xbox for that audio but I plug the usb into the computer for the PC audio. The front of the mixamp has the 2.5 mm input for an xbox microphone which connects directly to the controller. Is there a way to replicate this on the current version of the mixamp? The convenience of having both connections has spoiled me as I have listened to this video while playing xbox at the same time... :) help!

[@abbasshussainh786]

one question can someone please answer, does this tr version come with everything to start hearing and chatting on xbox one, orr do i have to buy the chat cable iv heard so much about.??

[@leow6502]

I installed everything exactly like the video and I don't hear anything! help!

[@DESTRUCTOIDS-YT]

So I just got the Astros for Christmas and don't have a working computer right now can I still use them without having to download all the software or are they just useless until I get my computer fixed and I have the Xbox one edition A 40s with the Mix amp Pro TR like shown in the video.

[@cpiep]

why Dolby digital and not Drs digital surround?

[@sam_i_am3228]

Can u use the astro tr with the normal xbox mixamp on the controller or the mixamp m80

[@jxcquizzz]

Why does my sound keep cutting out? I just got a new optical cable not that long ago and it keeps cutting out for a couple of seconds. Is it the optical cable, the usb, or the xbox?

[@gabrielbz.]

I have a Xbox one and ps4 so what tr headset and mix amp do I get?

[@bigt5237]

Buy the Black PS4 Astro A40 tr headset and the black PS4 mix-amp pro tr and get the white mix-amp pro tr designed specifically for Xbox one or vice versa! Since you have both consoles you only need 1 Astro A40 tr headset but you need the both the white mix-amp pro tr headset designed specifically for the Xbox one and you need the black mix-amp pro tr designed specifically for the PS4!

[@Damonneeds1469]

+Te'von Lowe the white set can do both - the PS4 and the Xbox One although the Black set can ONLY do the PS4. DO NOT buy Both Amps, just settle for the White so you can hook up to both machines. Google it

[@dj3rick463]

and I have been seeing in forums and my big question is whether the targets are worth tamvien for ps4 because I want to buy them

[@espi1391]

This version works on both, you just have to set it in PC mode when using it on ps4 BUT it echoes and causes other people to echo when using this Xbox one edition on PS4.

[@Damonneeds1469]

I'm using the white one with my Xbox One. The color makes a difference as to what they are compatible with. Black is PS4, they are not compatible with each other (how stupid)

[@LoNeNINJAHD]

If I buy these will I be able to hear chat and speak as well ?

[@remarkkz6177]

After one year of trying to figure out how to use this with Xbox and PC at the same time I’ve figured out you need to buy the mix amp M60 also or you can’t really use both at once.

[@chrisruiz9995]

can I use the astro tr headset itself ? like no mix amp tr , with my old mix amp ?

[@ItsTyboYT]

Im trying to get a good headset that i can use and also record party chat on xbox one with can i plug the inline mute cable into a splitter and run a male to male cord into my elgato?

[@mysterouis30]

Can i use this headset with the older model of the astro mixamp?

[@joshmoore2807]

Can you do this with the 2014 one because i don't have a cable to plug into my controller and it has the new port and i can't find any 2.55mm to 3.55mm cables.

[@marsmac123]

does this mean you have to sit close to your xbox one while using these, I play on a 55" tv and sit about 4-5m back, would I still be able to use these sitting that far back?

[@welcomeinternet6604]

Do i have to use the white headset and mixamp or CNA I use the black ones?

[@khalifa41lopez]

ive had this headset for two fucking years and just seen this video, ive been plugging in to my controller when i play with friends and never could use the mix amp, this works for the white mix amp box has to say xbox on it!

[@Rightplacegaming]

I just got the Astro a40s TR and Mixamp Pro TR for the Xbox one. Everything comes out fine except for my voice in party chat. My team says i sound really muffled like I have my hand over the mic. Now when I take the headset out of the mixamp pro tr and plug it into my controller directly they hear me just fine. - I have the new windows 10 preview update - I have the latest update for my Xbox One - I have the latest update for my controller - I have all the correct audio setting on my Xbox (recommend by astro) Any idea's on how to fix this?

[@frostbitgaming9084]

+Girlybird HD its always waste to buty mixamp just buy headset

[@Spoonhandle]

+Right Place Gaming In the Command Center software (on a computer) set the noise gate to 'Streaming' and it pretty much turns off the noise gate, making the microphone sound much better.

[@SuaveOnFilm]

Would the mic work wit skype on my pc while still hearing game sound?

[@dpat9906]

when I turn my HDMI audio off my audio reciever times out(shuts off) during my game and I have to turn it back on! what can I do? Is there a setting to fix this?

[@reneb.9593]

can you use the white one with ps4 or should I get the white PC one and the ps4 mixamp

[@OneHorsemenOf]

Is there a volume control on the headset cable

[@hank7902]

i have the usb cable from the mix amp plugged into my pc, but when i switch over to my xbox i cant use my mic in party chat or game chat. can you help me figure out what im doing wrong? i want to leave my usb in the pc. not in the xbox.

[@Mazwell96]

found a fix?

[@wheresthedvo]

the chat function for the xbox relies on the USB cable going to the xbox. the chat goes through the USB

[@milkedoutdiablo]

There's no way I can Download command center for my mac. it keeps saying this... The requested URL /kuiper/ASTROCommandCenter.dmg was not found on this server. Please help!!!

[@RXOBANSH33]

Does this TR version of the mixamp remove the shitty voice chat quality that came with the mixamp pro? I haven't been able to use the Mixamp pro for voice chat on my Xbox One due to the horrible quality that it gave my voice.

[@RasorShoTz]

Ya I returned my a40s because of that, for me it was because I had the ps4 and pc ones and bought a separate cable to connect mix amp to xb1 controller and there are no perfect cords.

[@RXOBANSH33]

RasorShoTz I still use the headset, just with the M80 mixamp...would like to get more use out of the mixamp pro but I can't use it while in chat. Awesome for solo play or films though, due to the surround sound.

[@millennium4290]

Ik I'm a year late, but if you're still having that problem I can tell you how to fix it really easily.

[@EthanBradburyVlogs]

Millennium I wish you actually said how...

[@millennium4290]

Sorry about that I just didn't know if he still needed help or not. Go to this website and download the firmware that goes with your MixAmp. Then open the Command Center and make sure your MixAmp is plugged into your PC and hold the power button until it turns white. After you do that the settings in the Command Center should show up, then click "Microphone". Click the "Streaming" button then press "Sync to device". It should sound much better now. Let me know if you still need help with confusion

Is the Optical cable included?

@NINJA FIFTY, "Ok I can hear the party chat and the game audio and everything else. But they can't hear me." I have the same exact issue.

[@younas1476]

+Mathew Ham No. After browsing forums found out the issue was quite common. I didn't want to put up with it after waiting a week 1/2 and paying $250 for these. So, I returned them. My temporary fix was using my detachable mic from previous gens astro a40's which are very identical but it gave me muffled voice this time. This was a common issue with these gen's headsets.

You don't NEED the Mixamp, but the headset by itself is useless. The Mixamp is what gives you the surround sound. If you want just a headet, get a Sennheiser Game One with a y-adapter and plug it into the controller.

[@ItsTyboYT]

if I wanted could I use these on my computer?

[@upthecelik6794]

Can you plug your m80 into your Astro tr's instead of the mix amp ??????

[@hu5kyy280]

I have 2 questions. First, can I use this mixamp for Xbox 360? Second, can I use normal A40's with this mixamp on Xbox One?

[@KillermanV3]

+T0xiC Husky This MixAmp will not work on the Xbox 360 because it doesn't have a chat cable port for it because the voice goes through USB to the Xbox One only. I have A40 2013s and I've heard you can use them with the MixAmp TR on Xbox One - any version of A40s will work with the MixAmp.

[@allieboy181]

KillermanV3 you can't chat but you can hear volume, so yes it does

[@KillermanV3]

Allie Boy I know. I guess I didn't mention you can hear game audio still. Nonetheless, if he/she wants to chat with friends, they can't and that's why I said no. I just forgot to mention the game audio is still there haha my bad.

[@GreenTurts]

can you use this on PS4 if you wanted?

[@bigt5237]

+Lee Everett You can't If you own both consoles you have to have 2 mix-amps the white xbox one console specific mix-amp pro tr and the black PS4 console specific mix-amp pro tr for chatting online in games and parties.You only need 1 mix-amp If you just want game audio and the surround sound but If you want to talk to people in multiplayer games you need either the PS4 black specific mix-amp pro tr If you are using the headset on the PS4 want to talk to people ingame or in party chat or If you are using the headset on Xbox One you need the white specific mix-amp pro tr to chat with people on Xbox one multiplayer games and parties. The headsets are all digital there are no chat cables that connect to the controller they run to a USB connecting to the console HOPE THIS HELPED!

heads up guys... I just bought the astro tr a40 combo for the ps4/ps3/mac/pc and I was wondering if it would work on my xbox one as well and boom! it does! so you don't have to but an separate amp for each console if you were wondering. however I just bought the elite version of the xbox one so idk if that has anything to do with it. but if you have an older xbox one try it out.

+D Man Why the hell has no one replied to this piece of info? That's fantastic news! So you're telling me I can buy the black one marked as "ps4,ps3,mac,pc" and it will work on all these AND the xbox one?! If you could just re-confirm this for me I'll cancel my order of the white one!
