Do you want to swap controllers? I have a 2nd that I exclusively use on PC and have no use for the expansion port. I'd gladly swap it for yours

Heh, I just ordered that second controller.

Very nice of you to offer, though.

Has anyone else had trouble with the mics on the XB1?

Not really. The headset's built like crap and won't stay put on my head, but the actual mic works very well. Even out of position, it picks up my voice MUCH better than the 360 ever did. The 360 had trouble recognizing that my voice was a voice, and would constantly stop transmitting right in the middle of a sentence.

What I have had, at least until I switched routers, was a frequent inability to join voice chat sessions (both XBL and in-game chat) and games due to the XBone not liking my NAT situation. It doesn't sound like that's what's happening to you, though - if it were, switching headsets wouldn't help at all.

I wonder if there is actually something wrong with the port on your controller where the headset connects. You don't have a 2nd controller to try, do you?

No, not yet. Don't really need one, don't really want another black one, and don't like what else is available. This one is okay, though.

Yes - along with several other things. I kinda hate my XB1. It's the worst gaming purchase I've ever made.

- CC HAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahaha

The question is, who is "they"?
I don't know how much overlap the two chat systems have, but the party chat is for sure an XBox thing and if broken there is nothing Bungie can do.

Oh, I'm putting this ball firmly in Microsoft's court. I've had issues with PS4 chat, too, but they've been different, and mainly about volume levels when using the USB instead of the standard audio cable connection.

When I logged on I had other people trying to get me to do nightfall, so it worked out for me.

I didn't have audio trouble at until later that night. I joined a new group for the raid and couldn't hear anyone, though they could hear me. That is odd, because all other game and XB1 sound was hitting my headphones, it was just the voice that wasn't. We tried both game chat and party chat, nothing. I restarted my XBox and still nothing, until I was in the party for 20 seconds and suddenly it started working.

Note that given my scenario, a loose headphone connection could not have caused it. My mic worked fine, it was just that certain audio was selectively hitting the headphones.

I was going back and forth between two headsets, so I knew the odds were low that both had problems. And again, this has happened before. They need to fix this already.

I've had trouble before, and I don't know what causes it. I tried rebooting the console half a dozen times. I played around with the settings, checked my connections, and switched back and forth between my Astros A40s and the default headset/mic. Someone on youtube suggested turning off Kinect chat capability and then reselecting "Choose this person" from the sign in page. That didn't work, or maybe it did eventually. The last time I switched back to the A40s the mic magically started working again.

I'm sorry again to those of you who signed up to participate in Co-op Night. I hope that some of you were able to get together and play regardless. We'll try again next week.
