Titanfall in game chat issue

Has anyone else encountered this problem? My microphone works fine in party chats, and other in-game chats, however, in Titanfall I can only hear other people. It acts as if my mic is muted, and won't pick up my voice.

This is the xbox one headset that come with Xbox

Xbox stereo headset mic doesn't work in game chat for Rainbow Six Siege??

I recently bought the stereo headset for my xbox one. Everything works fine, except for game chat. In party chat I can talk and hear other people, but when I play Rainbow Six Siege I cant hear game chat, nor does the mic work. I don't see any settings that
would explain this. I tried game chat on other games and it works. But when I play R6S nothing in game chat works. Is this somehow a problem with my mic? Or the game? The mic works fine everywhere else.

I use Kinect as a mic for Ghosts but it has very big limitations. The Kinect in general has a setting that allows it to pick up your voice and use it as a mic if no mic is plugged in. This works on several games but not Ghosts. Ghosts does not recognize
the Xbones mic and will not try to use it. So you can use the mic to chat, but only if you are in a party. You can host a party switch to game chat and nothing will happen, it will not recognize the mic. But if you stick with party chat in a gamemode that
allows you to play with party chat, then you can chat with your party, but you will never be able to chat with the lobby using the Kinect in Ghosts, at least as of now and the current updates.

.

So there you have it, Use the Kinect for friends in a party, but no Kinect for game chat in ghosts. So looking forward to the adapter when it comes out for my headset.

It's weird, my mic works for party chat, it works for recording messages, works for talking to Cortana. It won't however work with game chat! No matter what game I'm in it shows that a mic is hooked up but the icon won't flash when i talk into it.

I've checked to make sure I'm not in a party and I'm not. Something is up Microsoft needs to fix this.

Hi @MarineA112!

Is it just the Division that your mic doesn't work in? Does it work in other games or in Party chat?

From day one, the Kinect voice chat has not worked with Ghosts, unless if you are in a party. Any party disabled game modes will kick you out of party chat or now allow you to play the mode. There is no game chat option to speak through Kinect, so talking
with randoms or in lobbies is a no go. You need a mic on a headset for that, either the one that came with your xbox one, or a 3rd party headset that you buy the Microsoft puck adapter for.

I do not know about the other two games as I don't have either one. Good luck.

Game chat means that only people in the game can chat, unless they are in their own Party. They will still show up as having mics with the sound icon even if they are in their own Party.

Game chat can be unreliable. Best thing to do is to make sure that everyone in the game is in the same Party.

If you bring up a person's gamertag and they have a 'Join Party' option then they are in their own party. You won't hear them in the game and must join the Party or invite them to your one.

Basically, get everyone into the same Party and forget about game chat.

Keep an eye on the mute button and volume.
