Xbox microphone issues HELP

[The10lbStiff]

I recently got this desktop mic for my Xbox and it has the headphone jack on the bottom. I noticed that when I have my mic muted and I’m playing music the music comes through the mic if loud enough, I was wondering if I bought a headset y adapter splitter would it stop that issue. It has a tap to mute on top and when I use it my music still bleeds through my microphone The mic isn’t plugged into the charger when on. Any solutions would be appreciated

Category is good.

What specific mic are you using? Do you have a link for it?

 

[The10lbStiff]

https://a.co/d/gI16C7W it should be a Amazon link

Just to verify...the mic is plugged into the controller port on your controller and your headset to the headset port on the controller. Correct?

Does your headset also have a mic?

 

[The10lbStiff]

Yes and the Xbox controller is plugged into the Xbox I've tried it with a wireless controller and it still does it. The Xbox controller only has one port for the headset/mic

 

[The10lbStiff]

Would a headset splitter fix it so that the headphones aren't plugged directly into the mic

 

[COLGeek]

Understood, I think. (I was watching the video on the link you provided and they controller had two ports).

So you don't have a headset attached in any way. Correct?

A splitter might help, but I wouldn't count on it.

I do I use apple ear buds connected into the bottom of the mic in the headphones port the picture above will show you. I also noticed even if I don't have a headset/earbuds plugged In my mic is still picking up music or at least I can see it picking up with a mic tester in cod

 

[COLGeek]

Those buds also have a mic and may be the source of the sound getting picked up. That is what I have been trying to determine.

Remove the buds from the equation. Does the issue go away?

 

[COLGeek]

I see I got the wiring wrong by the way (I realize the two ports are on the mic itself and a single one on the controller). My bad.

 

[The10lbStiff]

Yes correct and I'd like to try different headphones eventually I don't have any right now besides these apple ear buds

 

[The10lbStiff]

And it still picks up audio with no headphones plugged in just tested it

 

[The10lbStiff]

I love the mic quality hopefully there's a way to fix it to fix it

 

[COLGeek]

Do you have a PC? If so and you attach the mic to it, does the problem occur there?

 

[The10lbStiff]

I do have a PC are you saying plug it into the microphone port on the PC and ear buds in the microphone ?

Yes, replicate your setup as close as possible on the PC.

 

[The10lbStiff]

I got you testing right now

 

[The10lbStiff]

Ok so when I plug the microphone into the mic port on the PC the mic doesn't work but if I plug it into the headset port on the PC my headphones work and my mic still doesn't but it picks up the audio from the music maybe a splitter would fix it

 

[The10lbStiff]

When I use my splitter for pc they both work fine

 

[COLGeek]

Try it with the Xbox then.

 

[The10lbStiff]

I have to buy it first I'll report back after I get it and let you know

 

[COLGeek]

In your Xbox settings, when using both the mic and the buds, how many mics are identified?

 

[The10lbStiff]

Doesn't show any because it's wired, they only pop up if it's wireless

That seems odd. Do you have access to a plain old set of headphones (with no mic) or basic PC speakers?
