I've gone through so many different videos for this and you by far are the most knowledgeable video producer. Thank you so much you got my mic and stream sounding so much better. Thank you now i have that crisp sound and my teammates notice a lot
I had this working just fine and suddenly it just doesn’t anymore. No idea what’s going on. Nothing changed. Maybe it’s my laptop trying to use the microphone and such instead of just powering it. Very frustrating. Edit: Windows had the microphone muted in the properties for the device. It’s a bit buried in there. But that fixed it 100%.
What I think the issue is that when you plug in the mic you have to go to audio settings and select the mic and with streaming you have to click you audio source to but it’s just a guess
Some questions, I don’t have a capture card, I stream through lightstream. With that being said, Does this set up cause anyone noise or echo if I try to stream with it? Plugging the mic into the headphone does it allow talkback? Where you don’t feel stuffy when talking if you know what I mean. Thanks for answering!
The Turtle beach Ear Force Headset Audio controller a legit product 👍😎 if you want to customise your audio beyond what's available on the current Xbox audio settings.
So I did all of this with the HyperX and it seems to recognize it on my Xbox when I test it in party chat. BUT it isn't working in Modern Warfare 2...The audio settings don't even let me select a mic....HELPPPP
Nooooo! Hahah I’m so sad. So in order for this to work I’d have to just get an Xbox headset? I’m guessing only if you have a ps5 or pc this usb mix would work very easily?
Series X, mic works on game chat & part chat… BUT….How can you get the incoming voice chat voices to TV speakers?! (Chat output set to speakers) I don’t want to use headset on the splitter, because I use headset connected to my stream PC… so the Xbox players hear me, but my stream audience & myself can’t hear them!
Sup fam! You have to set your xbox settings to enable tv speakers and headphone speakers as if you were projecting sound for everybody to hear. I'm not sure what it is called exactly on series x but it is a output feature.
@@Timstuh thx I figured it out… Xbox routes “in-game chat” differently than PS5, so in order to capture in-game chat to a USB capture card, you have to connect the controller to the capture card using 3.5mm cable & switch the cap card setting from Hdmi audio to Analog… honestly this is a Terrible method, hoping Xbox can change this on the next Xbox they release.
I know this question sounds stupid, but I saw other videos saying that the mic still works without the stereo adapter. Do you need the stereo adapter for the mic to work on Xbox? Like can you just plug the splitter into the controller without having to use the stereo adapter for the mic to work?
I bought a stereo adapter but its not the one you have hear and I have a ton of feedback. Is this why? I cant seem to fix the feed back issue no matter what
Hey I kinda have a problem I want a mic to have on my Xbox and I have a headset for my pc but I only use that for audio since my parents make me not use headphones if I want to do voice chat. I have a mic but I'm feeling something smaller then a USB mic so if you could recommend some products I would gladly appreciate it.
If I understand correctly, the "USB" is basically irrelevant, as you use it as a power cord. The title suggests that you can use the USB cable to transmit your voice. Otherwise I could title my video "How to connect a hamsterwheel microphone to Xbox", as far as it has 3.5 aux cord output and gets its electricity from a hamster running around in its wheel...
Hey man, great video, I have all of the things I should to make this work but my audio and music settings are greyed out for some reason, if anyone can help would be appreciated.
Would this work even though my headset has a mic? I know it's a pretty stupid question seeing as you said It wouldn't but the headset I use has a mic so I'm not sure if it is gonna work
I got everything it still didn’t work the only difference is I’m using hyper x quad cast instead of the other mic, I do t u deter and what wrong is there w A way to have a wrong splitter
@@Timstuh i just bought a new y split to see if that was the reason I’ll find out Wednesday, i have everything needed but that specific y split, so i hope that’s the reason
I see that microsoft couldn't do anything wors with connection microphone to xbox series s/x. Because when I will use keyboard+mouse with xbox series s/x my gamepad will disconected after a while and I will lose my microphone eh :/ ...
new to streaming (on XBOX, etc.)... if you don't use a headset, does the audio just come through the TV.... trying to make a setup where I'd have a mic in the living room so some friends and I can all be heard playing the game that we're streaming without the "limitation" of a headset
Yes! you can use a free streaming software like OBS/Streamlabs to record on your PC. You do NOT have to stream you can just do offline recording or you can do a capture card.
would i need the stereo adampter? i have everything else, but the two cords i have do not have the microphone or headphone label, will this be a problem?
Can you show how to connect a usb mic with xbox plus with elgato at the same time? I have a astro a50 5th gen that does not have a audio jack built into the headset and looking for a way to connect just the mic with xbox and elgato.
Does this work for blue yeti and Sony headphones that already has a jack connected on it? When connecting to blue yeti and Sony headset I’m getting a buzzing sound
Everything works I appreciate the video and the links for the products - my only problem I can’t find the solution for it anywhere is that , Is there a way to not hear myself in my headset when talking into the mic - I’ve already put the mic monitoring all the way down on the Xbox and the physical nob on the mic itself
I don’t get how anyone got this to work, i bought everything in the description and either it picks up my audio briefly and i sound robotic or it doesnt pick up my audio at all. I bought 2 of each cable just incase and I’ve used Boths sets and nothing works. Are their some kind of settings i have to adjust or wtf. Very frustrating spending the money on all this and nothing works. Someone please help!!!
I would not trust it. If you cannot use other headphones maybe some basic earbuds just to ensure you are doing it corrctly before you buy more stuff. Xbox is confusing lol
Hey whats good bro....so yeah I watched ur video and the weirdest thing.....so I got it to work but it doesn't work right away and I was able to dona stream or 2 but then sometimes it don't work at all. What are some of the reasons I can't get it to work?
Without a mic. So no gaming headset actual headphones. You are splitting audio basically unauthorized. To complete a split on xbox is very difficult therefore you cannot use anything that has a mic
Lightstream would not be affected in terms of their overlays for sure. Discord can maybe be an option, but not everybody enjoys that. I will look into console discord and see how USB mics work
@@Timstuh Yes but it was working without it but i could only hear on one side and my headset is completely fine when i used to have a ps4 it did the same thing
Hello, so i have a xbox series X and i got the hyper X Quadcast S microphone i got everything in the video and Astro a10 headset… I cant here my friends in party OR game chat…i’ve tried everything please help!
I have astro mixamp pro tr and some ATH-AD900X headphones. When put into xbox mode I get the dolby atmos, UI, YT, media etc. Sound working. Now with mic issues. hdmi audio becomes unavailable Grey when I have the mixamp on Xbox. I can hook some 3.5mm aux ear buds with a mic but the sound of party chat doesn't come through the mixamp 900x headphones only the ear buds. Maybe the Xbox splitter adapter will work. I'll give update if I go that route
Worked on my Series X. Thanks a lot and now I can start streaming. I got the fifine mic that you’re using in the video
wooooo!! that’s awesome news
Does it come w the stand or do u have to buy that?
@@Timstuh do I have to have a headset or can I play other people's audio through the speakers?
I got the same mic. Do you just leave the USB part plugged in to your pc or something? I think I’m gonna try this
I bought everything but I keep hearing this loud buzzing and I can't hear the other people talking in the microphone just talks through my speakers
I've gone through so many different videos for this and you by far are the most knowledgeable video producer. Thank you so much you got my mic and stream sounding so much better. Thank you now i have that crisp sound and my teammates notice a lot

Thank you for all your help and for putting the items online that was helpful for a mom who has no clue what to buy
Wooo! It is a difficult process for sure!
Do you mind contacting me something is not right working with the Xbox
so you basically using the monitoring of your mic - you could as well plug in the usb somewhere else - its just to power the mic
What I think the issue is that when you plug in the mic you have to go to audio settings and select the mic and with streaming you have to click you audio source to but it’s just a guess
Some questions, I don’t have a capture card, I stream through lightstream. With that being said, Does this set up cause anyone noise or echo if I try to stream with it?

Def can cause some reverb and unwanted frequency pass through, not too sure how bad tho
Thanks man, very useful. I watched so many vidoes, non of them helped really, was wasting time. You helped me big time.🥳
The Turtle beach Ear Force Headset Audio controller a legit product 👍😎 if you want to customise your audio beyond what's available on the current Xbox audio settings.
Nice!!!
Would this work with my hyper x earbuds?
If they are wireless they will not due to Xbox really hating other wireless formats than their own
They are not wireless
So I did all of this with the HyperX and it seems to recognize it on my Xbox when I test it in party chat. BUT it isn't working in Modern Warfare 2...The audio settings don't even let me select a mic....HELPPPP
Sad news is this is ONLY PARTY CHAT. Game chat does not work. So prox Warzone chat is not available
Nooooo! Hahah I’m so sad. So in order for this to work I’d have to just get an Xbox headset? I’m guessing only if you have a ps5 or pc this usb mix would work very easily?

Do you need the turtle beach adapter? I see other stereo adapters for cheaper
I know this question sounds stupid, but I saw other videos saying that the mic still works without the stereo adapter. Do you need the stereo adapter for the mic to work on Xbox? Like can you just plug the splitter into the controller without having to use the stereo adapter for the mic to work?
On the Xbox one you didn’t need the adapter but it could’ve changed
Series X you may not need one, but everything else you do.
I bought a stereo adapter but its not the one you have hear and I have a ton of feedback. Is this why? I cant seem to fix the feed back issue no matter what
What headphones do you recommend
ONEODIO! Cheap cost and good quality
@@Timstuh ok bet I order it I used your whole technique I hope it works
would a blue yeti microphone work with this method?
Yes for sure! Use the official xbox adapter though.
@@Timstuh i get a weird buzzing noise with my blue yeti. which mic did you use in the video?! not for the test but on the beginning of the video
Will a blue yeti work? Or do I need the exact mic you have here?
Absolutely! Blue Yeti is the face of USB mics with all these features. I originally tested that too. I used that actual official Xbox adapter though.
@@Timstuh that's the one with 5 buttons right?
Can you use speakers in stead of head phones
Does it have to be a turtle beach adapter or can it be a different brand

You don’t need 3.5 Aux cord
If I understand correctly, the "USB" is basically irrelevant, as you use it as a power cord. The title suggests that you can use the USB cable to transmit your voice. Otherwise I could title my video "How to connect a hamsterwheel microphone to Xbox", as far as it has 3.5 aux cord output and gets its electricity from a hamster running around in its wheel...
Sounds like an Xbox problem. Sadly I'm not Xbox
Did u try the hamster wheel
Hey man, great video, I have all of the things I should to make this work but my audio and music settings are greyed out for some reason, if anyone can help would be appreciated.
Would this work even though my headset has a mic? I know it's a pretty stupid question seeing as you said It wouldn't but the headset I use has a mic so I'm not sure if it is gonna work

Woooooo!!!
@@Timstuh shut up

A way to have a wrong splitter
That should definitely work. What adapter are you using?
@@Timstuh i just bought a new y split to see if that was the reason I’ll find out Wednesday, i have everything needed but that specific y split, so i hope that’s the reason
Could I do this and then put the controller to one side and use a different one, I really want my controller to be wireless.
Can you use a usb mic and usb webcam on the Xbox series s at the same time
Idc if it confuses the mic but can I still use a headset with a mic but just mute it?
my mic isn't working and I have everything that I need. What should I do?
I have a question, will you still be able to here yourself when your talking
Yes the mic monitors for sure.
@@Timstuh and I have one more question, do you 100% need the headphone adapter?
this video is a little old so hope you answer but do you know if the blue yeti mic works with this process or should I facebook marketplace it?
Do you know any other mics i can use to have this work because i have a buget?
I enjoy the fifine mics for sure! Very affordable! Just make sure they have the headphone port and monitoring
👍 video...short fast,efficient ..it shouldn't be that hard in 2021..the gaming industry should be sued and held to certain standards in my opinion
Yea USB mics are tough with xbox. This is still the only solution.
I see that microsoft couldn't do anything wors with connection microphone to xbox series s/x. Because when I will use keyboard+mouse with xbox series s/x my gamepad will disconected after a while and I will lose my microphone eh :/ ...
Yes. Idk why xbox does not want people to use a mic. Probably to keep gaming headset purchases
This works really well 10/10
WHOOOAAAAA! GG fam.
new to streaming (on XBOX, etc.)... if you don't use a headset, does the audio just come through the TV.... trying to make a setup where I'd have a mic in the living room so some friends and I can all be heard playing the game that we're streaming without the "limitation" of a headset
You can set it to external speakers on xbox settings.
@Timstuh ah ok.. so then, from there, I really only need the microphone and not a headset, correct?
Can I use a headset on my xbox for party chat and a seperate mic on my PC for recording videos?
Yes! you can use a free streaming software like OBS/Streamlabs to record on your PC. You do NOT have to stream you can just do offline recording or you can do a capture card.
@@Timstuh Thanks!
hi awesome video 👍
just a question how did you get your game play audio of other players in game into your stream without being in a xbox live party?
game chat does not work only party chat. It will be setting your xbox to external speakers
If I have Bluetooth headset for Xbox that connects through usb can I not just plug the usb microphone in aswell and it works ?
What if my fifine mic doesn’t have a 3.5 mm plug
WILL NOT WORK
My audio isnt going through to the xbox as in my circle isnt moving is there maybe a setting i need to change or something?
Can u please make one for a series x nvm it works for my series x
What kind of mic are you using?
Hey, I've a normal xbox one with an xbox series s Controller does it work too or not?
It should
I’m getting an Amazon mic in 3 days so I’ll btry this and hopefully it works
Make sure it has these features.
It does and it works successfully
Hey there I still need the turtle beach adapter if I have the Xbox series x, could only work with the splitter?
It keeps buzzing for me and my mates in party show do I fix that
Do you need to use the adapter or can u just hook it up to your Xbox with out anything
USB is not plug and play with xbox
”plug and play”
would i need the stereo adampter? i have everything else, but the two cords i have do not have the microphone or headphone label, will this be a problem?
Yes. Xbox you MUST get the adapter. Some people say they have, but this is the safest bet.
Can you show how to connect a usb mic with xbox plus with elgato at the same time? I have a astro a50 5th gen that does not have a audio jack built into the headset and looking for a way to connect just the mic with xbox and elgato.
Does headphones from i phone works? Since I got use them with my microphone on my computer
They can be tricky. I know earbuds work without a mic for sure.
Does it work the same on Xbox One S? If so, does a fifine ampligame A6V work?
I have everything setup same equipment and everything I can even hear myself on my mic but when I record gameplay I can’t hear myself
Try your xbox external settings.
What if i have a headphone that has a mic? Will everything still work?
Does this work for blue yeti and Sony headphones that already has a jack connected on it? When connecting to blue yeti and Sony headset I’m getting a buzzing sound
Does this setup bypass the audio delay on Twitch? Or do you still have to do that trick?
This is bypass the audio delay depending on the cam you use. If not I have an audio video for it too
@@Timstuh Thank you.
Will you need a splitter and stuff if you got a wireless headset??
Wireless does not work
what can i do if my mic doesn’t have a usb port in the back

Very frustrating spending the money on all this and nothing works. Someone please help!!!
This is a question that’s been on my mind what if your headset has a unplugable mic can it still work or will it need extra things
I would not trust it. If you cannot use other headphones maybe some basic earbuds just to ensure you are doing it corrctly before you buy more stuff. Xbox is confusing lol
my microsoft stereo adapter stereo has an orange light on it what does that mean is it charging or whaat ? does it have to be green to work
what if we have a wireless headset for xbox can we skip everything for the wired one>
Wireless doesn’t work with USB. It’s nearly impossible even with this setup. Microsoft is smart af lol
hey i have a question i have a wireless headset so what would i do to connect my usb mic with my headset
Wireless does not work with this. It is because Xbox is being mean for real lol
Hey whats good bro....so yeah I watched ur video and the weirdest thing.....so I got it to work but it doesn't work right away and I was able to dona stream or 2 but then sometimes it don't work at all. What are some of the reasons I can't get it to work?
Dose have to be a turtle beach adapter or can i use the normal xbox adapter???
The fifine doesn't have a aux input that I can see, and you didn't even plug thr aux into the fifine u plugged it in the rode
It’s work and all but every time I talk loud buzzy sound
Why doesn’t Xbox just makes an update on the newer console so we can just plug in the usb and that’s it? Anybody knows?
We all can wish lol! PS does it that easy. I’m assuming it’s because to keep purchasing Xbox or Xbox compatible headsets
What mic should I use you use?
I use the Fifine series in here
So I can use my 200€ Shure on my Xbox, bruh?
Why do I use my half broken HyperX Mic then
Whenever there is a noise the feedback sounds very "crunchy" what's wrong?
I’m gonna do this but would it work if I just muted my mic that’s on my headphones? Or do I “have” to have one that doesn’t have a mic?
Without a mic. So no gaming headset actual headphones. You are splitting audio basically unauthorized. To complete a split on xbox is very difficult therefore you cannot use anything that has a mic
Bro I gotta buy some more stuff
That is Xbox for you lol. PS makes it easy af
it’s not working for me im thinking cause i have a splitter but not a headset adapter and the oneodio headphones how do you mute the mic
can i use the aux cord that comes with the headphones? and can i also use the first microphone you have listed?
Any universal aux cord. If you use certain mics I will just try the official xbox adapter.
Would this work now that discord is on Xbox? And would you know how this would affect streaming with Lightstream?
Lightstream would not be affected in terms of their overlays for sure. Discord can maybe be an option, but not everybody enjoys that. I will look into console discord and see how USB mics work
What do I do if it’s echoing because I have been having issues where my friends can hear themselves and they can hear my game.
Is the volume on your TV or monitor on, that would explain to me why they can hear their voices and your game but not the other way around.
What if i have a michrophone (Trust Emita) without the headphone jack ? Can i use a audio splitter or a mixer or usb sound card ?
It will not work because you need monitoring on a mic
will this work if i use my hyperx cloud stinger and just flip up my mic so i dont use its mic?
If u use a computer to record would it work like that like from the Xbox without being in a party and stuff?
Do u need a voloume on it ?
Hey, Im not using a adapter on the series s and I cant hear anything? Could you get back to me thanks.
Without an adapter would be the reason why.
@@Timstuh Yes but it was working without it but i could only hear on one side and my headset is completely fine when i used to have a ps4 it did the same thing
I have a mixer on my setup up, can I just run the mic without having to use the splitter and the adapter?
Have not tried the mixer. I believe console would downplay its potential tbh
Got a splitter and adapter and it’s still not working
I’ve done every step in this tutorial but it doesn’t show that it’s working in my party chat can someone please🙏 help
Hello, so i have a xbox series X and i got the hyper X Quadcast S microphone i got everything in the video and Astro a10 headset… I cant here my friends in party OR game chat…i’ve tried everything please help!
Party chat should maybe be an enabling issue. Game chat does not work with this method
Excellent, thanks man
Do I have too have a headset that doesn't have a mic?
What about the xlr cable
Can I use a special wire to transfer sound from a computer to an xbox gamepad, like this is sound from a microphone???
I’d say utilize a capture card! That captures any audio to help from transferring exact data/audio from computer and Xbox!
So I can hear that the mic is working through my earphones but is not showing up in party chat. Any ideas?
Will the fifine mic your using work
I noticed it works with the official xbox adapter not the turtle beach one. I tested the fifine k670 with it.
