— being able to play but not talk usually comes down to one of three things: the headset/connector, an in-console/account setting, or the controller/adapter. and were right to start with the physical plug and hardware; ’s reminder about checking in-console voice settings is also useful. Below are focused checks that go beyond “is it plugged in?” and help isolate which part is failing.

  • Confirm compatibility and isolate hardware: test the headset on a different controller or device (and try a different headset on the same controller). If the mic works on another controller/device the headset is OK; if a different headset works on your controller the controller jack is likely faulty.
  • Check physical mutes and wiring: look for any inline mute/volume switches, adapter mute sliders or a broken boom mic. Make sure plugs are fully seated and pins/contacts aren’t dirty or bent.
  • Wireless headsets: ensure the headset is powered/charged and re-paired to the console. A drained battery or lost pairing can look identical to a dead mic.
  • Power-cycle and swap parts: fully power down the console and controller (remove batteries for 15–30 seconds), then restart. If possible, try a different controller or replacement headset before assuming the console is at fault.
  • Account, privacy and network: Xbox Live privacy/parental settings can block voice chat; similarly, a Strict NAT makes party chat unreliable. Verify account communication settings and that NAT is not severely restricted.

If hardware isolation shows the controller jack or headset is defective, swapping that part is the usual fix; if settings and swaps don’t help, the next step is manufacturer support or warranty service.

Are you sure you have everything connected correctly?

Maybe there's something wrong with the headset.

Also, you might want to check if you have the right kind of headset.

I had the same thing, what you want to do is press the xbox button (on the controller) keep going to the right of that screen until you reach a lst of things with system settings on it. Next step is to, go to preferences then go to voice. Make sure your volume is turned up ad the microphone dosent say mute, and the voice output isent on play through Both and its on play through microphone... (if this dosent work try the other following solution)

Do the same thing, click the xbox button ( on the controller) keep scrolling to the right till you reach the end, then go to Notifacations and tick every box if its unticked, hope this helped!

If, some three and a half years after asking the question, his headset is still not working I would assume the chap has got used to it...
