Turtle beach x1 microphone wont work

You broke your controller cable. Just get a new one: http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/recertified-products/ear-force-x1.aspx

You have to put your XBL voice setting on "play through headset"

I have the same problem with the TB Earforce Bravo headset.

If you have an X1 headset...
Try using the X1 headset and mic with your PC (sound card). Green plug goes to green jack, Pink plug goes to pink jack. Can you hear your voice thru the X1 mic on your PC? If yes, then the mic works but the chat-controller cable is probably broken and should be replaced. If no, then the mic may be broken and you should contact Turtle Beach's tech support for help -- [email protected].

With the X1 plugged in, look at the white volume control box (on the main cable about a foot down from the headset). Is the LED on that box lit up green or red? If yes, then it's got power. If not, then the headset is defective and you should contact Turtle Beach about it. [email protected].
If the light is lit, then you might want to try testing the X1 with an iPod or other portable music player that has a 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone jack.
- Plug the X1 USB plug into a USB port on a PC, Xbox or whatever. - Plug the X1 green plug into the headphone jack on your player. - Turn the volume up about 1/2 way on the player and on the X1. - Play a track on the player.
Do you hear sound? If so, your X1 is OK, but you may need to adjust settings on your Xbox. If not, then you have a problem with the X1 and you should contact Turtle Beach about getting it replaced or fixed. [email protected].

Try using the headset to listen to your iPod or MP3 player. Plug the USB plug into your Xbox or PC USB port, then plug the X1 green plug into the Headphones jack on your iPod or MP3 player. Make sure the master volume is up on the X1 (inline volume control box). Play a tune on the MP3 player. Do you hear the music? If yes, the X1 is fine. If no, you should contact Turtle Beach tech support and tell them about it.

Try the X1 mic on a PC or laptop to make sure it works. If it does, then try a different controller, just in case the jack on your controller is defective. If that's not the problem, then you need a new talkback cable. You can get one at this link:

Can you try using the X1 mic on your PC? Green plug to green jack, pink plug to pink jack, USB plug to USB port. Talk into the X1 mic. Can you hear your voice? If yes, then you probably have a bad chat-controller cable. If no, then your X1 mic may not be working. If that's the problem, you should contact Turtle Beach tech support for help.

Have you tried using your X1 on your PC? Try connecting your X1 to a PC and speak into the X1 mic. Can you hear yourself in the headset? If yes, then the X1 mic and headset are OK but you need a new chat-controller cable. If not, then you should contact Turtle Beach about it --- [email protected].

Check and see if your TV is on a mono setting. That would cause all sounds to play through the right and left speakers or the headphones.
