Windows 10: Connecting 2 xbox one controllers to my Windows 10 PC for movie watching with headphones

Recently I bought a Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows so I could wirelessly connect my Xbox One controllers to my Windows 10 PC. The reason I wanted to do this was so that my wife and I could each use a controller with headphones attached and watch Netflix together without disturbing the kids. We wanted the wireless option so we could watch with headphones without being tethered to the PC with and chords. While I was able to get both controllers to connect, the audio only comes through one of the controllers instead of both. If I turn off the controller that has the audio, the audio switches to the remaining controller. Is there a way to have the audio go through both at the same time? Do I have to have two accounts logged in to do this? Can I even login two accounts at the same time?

Windows phone to control xbox to watch movies.

dont you think it would be awesome if you could control your xbox with a windows phone, so that while watching a movie you can use your phone instead of the controller

Hello Kevin,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.

Before assisting further, i would like to ask you few questions:

a. Does the issue persists only on using Xbox controller?

b. Did you check if the headset works fine on computer when not connected to Xbox controller?

c. Did you check if similar issue persists on connecting another headset to the Xbox controller?

If you haven’t tried, I suggest you to connect other headphone to the Xbox controller and check if similar issue persists. Also check if similar issue persists on connecting the headphones directly to the PC and not to the Xbox controller.

Step 1: If the issue persists, is suggest you to
update the headphones driver from Device manager manually by following the steps below:

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard select
  Device Manager from the options.
• Expand Audio inputs and outputs option, right-click on the
  headphone driver and select Update this software
  option.
• Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the update to complete.
• Close the window after the update is complete and check if the changes are effective.

Step 2: If the issue persists only when connected to Xbox controller, I suggest you to post your query in
Xbox support forum for further assistance.
