Windows 10: BSOD when Xbox headset is turned on / plugged in

Porter Hendrix · Oct 6, 2022

Hello, I have been having issues for the past few months with a hyperx wireless xbox headset. It has a USB dongle which works with my computer, however at random it will disconnect and I will have to replug the USB. I wasn't very annoyed at that, however recently as in the past 3 or 4 months it has been causing BSODs. I know these are caused by the headset because they often list xboxgip.sys as the reason, and they only happen when the headset is plugged in and turned on. I've tried doing sfc /scannow a couple months ago, but it didn't seem to help at all. I will attach 4 minidump files once

Plug in and Game on with the New Xbox Stereo Headset

I think we can all agree audio is fundamental to our gaming experiences. Personally, I cannot get my game on without my favorite gaming headset! At Xbox, we have made some big strides over the last year to offer you some of the best gaming headsets out there. From our Xbox Wireless Headset to our partnership with the legendary audio makers at Bang & Olufsen and the many other headsets we offer through our Designed for Xbox program, we are confident you’ll find the headset to meet your gaming needs.

Today, you can add one more option to the list. We are pleased to announce our Xbox Stereo Headset, available for pre-order today. With the new Xbox Stereo Headset, we are bringing everything you expect from Xbox products like performance, stand-out features, quality, and accessibility to deliver immersive experiences across console, PC, and mobile devices. We also wanted to bring you more value to the entry-level headset category, including clear microphone performance, high-quality ear cushions, and a volume control dial on the right earcup.

The Xbox Stereo Headset features many of the design elements found the Xbox Wireless Headset. The flexible, lightweight design with an adjustable headband utilizes plush cushioning to spread pressure more evenly around the top of the head. Ultra-soft large earcups will keep you comfy during those “extended” play sessions, and easily accessible on-ear controls for volume and mute will make this a staple in your gaming arsenal. Connect directly to the Xbox Wireless Controller or other devices through the 3.5mm audio jack, no batteries required.

To generate the best possible experience across gaming, team chat, music, and movies, the team tuned the headset to replicate the intended audio recording source that the creators wanted you to experience. The result of this is hearing the audio as close as possible to how it was recorded, by ensuring clean mid & high frequency performance with strong bass. And to take your audio one step further, the Xbox Stereo Headset supports high-fidelity spatial sound technologies including Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Headphone: X (may require additional purchases or app downloads).

As someone who owns and uses three different headsets for gaming, let me share how this became one of my daily drivers and why you’ll love it too:

If you’re new to gaming and looking for a comfortable design, this is a great entry-level headset that includes many of the features found in our Xbox Wireless Headset.

If you already own a wireless headset, this is the perfect addition to your setup for those times you forget to charge it or replace the batteries.

I also prefer using a wired headset when I play on my PC. This quickly became my favorite headset for PC gaming because it offers the best sound quality while eliminating any latency issues.

The Xbox Stereo Headset is available for pre-order today from Microsoft Store and other select retailers for $59.99 USD worldwide.

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

Headset Microphone Not Working on Windows via Xbox Elite Controller

I have my Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller plugged into my PC running Windows 11 via USB. I use a Razer Kraken X Lite headset plugged into that controller via the 3.5mm TRRS audio jack. I am able to hear audio but cannot get the microphone to work. Windows shows both the "Headphones (Xbox Controller)" and "Headset Microphone (Xbox Controller)" under the Audio inputs, as well as the "Xbox One Controller" under the Xbox Peripherals section of the Device Manager. All drivers were automatically installed and show as correct.

I have tried:

Resetting my computer

Deleting the devices in Device Manager and reconnecting

Making sure Windows and the Xbox controller is up-to-date

Testing the headset, which works when plugged into the controller on my Xbox console

Plugging in the headset to a splitter directly to the computer, which works but is VERY soft and unusable (even at full audio strength)

Hoping someone has some idea what I can try besides the things I've already found listed above. Thanks in advance for your help!
