Windows 10: Using Xbxox One Controller on my PC and connected headset - getting static

Hi,


I use the Xbox one remote on my PC and thought it would be useful to use the 3.5mm jack to plug in my headset. It works but I get some pretty bad static.


I tried tried uninstalling the Xbox Controller in both audio and Xbox peripherals manager of device manager.


Using Windows10, controller plugged by USB, headset is steelseries arctis 3.


I'd really like to use it this way, my setup has me far from the PC so that would eliminate a wire back to it.


Thank you,

:)

I just got a pc build and connected a xbox fusion pro controller. I plug a razer kraken headset to controller and party members hear static noise. I can hear them but my microphone doesnt work either. How can i fix the static noise and microphone to work?

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
