    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 computerDeleting the devices in Device Mana

    Xbox Controller Headset Adapter on PC - Microphone Crash

    Hi all

    Firstly, i want to say that i have tried this using an older Xbox Controller with the headset adapter, as well as using a new Xbox Controller with an aux input. I downloaded the Xbox Accessories app and have updated all the firmware and drivers too.

    So heres the scenario and issue.

    Scenario:

    Im looking to play couch games on my PC in another room. I have an 10m Active USB running from the PC to where i want to play games. The Xbox controller works perfectly fine over the 10m Active USB. I want to use my headset (HyperX Cloud 2) with the controller
    for audio + voice chat over Discord etc.

    Problem:

    When connecting the headset to the xbox controller headset adapter OR xbox controller aux input, Windows recognises the Audio output driver and microphone. The audio output works fine but the microphone crashes after about 3 seconds and stopped working.

    Interestingly:

    Tested it with a regular cable - both speaker audio and microphone working fine.

    Any ideas on how to get the microphone to stop crashing? Headset Microphone Not Working on Windows via Xbox Elite Controller :D

    TLDR: Headset microphone stops working after 3 seconds when plugged into xbox xbox controller on Windows 10. Headset audio continues to work fine. Connected to PC via 10m active USB
