WestofHouse Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 For the new controllers with the built-in 3.5in headset jack, if I plug in a stereo headset/mic combo will the Xbox cut off HDMI audio to my HT system and deliver all game and voice audio through the headset? Sometimes I like to play quietly without waking the family, so I connect standard headphones to my HT receiver to hear game audio, but then I can't use the chat headset.

It will not, but you can obviously just mute the TV yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I get both game and chat audio through the headset that would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't already have a controller with the audio pass-through built-in or one of the plug-in adapters, you should verify it first.

Charlie_ Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Along the same subject, I noticed when you stream XB1 to a PC and use the stock headset all the game audio plays through the headset. Does this mean that the voice chat is not possible when streaming? Or does it play the game audio and voice chat all through the headset?
