Windows Volume Doesn't Affect Xbox Wireless Headset Volume

Anonymous

I'm on a Windows 10 PC and I've connected an Xbox Wireless Headset using the Xbox Wireless Adapter. There is a volume slider on the headset itself that works fine, but the headset is unaffected by the volume control on the actual computer.

This has to be a problem relating to my computer and the Xbox Wireless Adapter, because the volume works completely fine when I connect the headset to anything via Bluetooth.

I'm not sure what to do to fix this as I can't find any solutions online, only a few people who had the same problem. It's possible for me to use the Bluetooth connection, but I'd really prefer if this wireless adapter worked properly and I could adjust the volume normally.

If anyone could help with this, that would be great!

    None of these help. This is a general problem with this headset or the adapter. Any idea if a fix for this is on the roadmap or if this is even recognized?

    Hi Skelswap

    I'm Louie, a Microsoft Community member and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. Hope you're doing well and safe there.

    I recommend running the troubleshooter with the headphones connected. This tool is designed to check for any misconfiguration on your drivers and repair them for you.

    In the search box on the taskbar,

    • Type audio troubleshooter, select Fix and find problems with playing sound from the results, then select Next.
    • Select the device you want to troubleshoot and then continue through the troubleshooter.

    You can also launch the troubleshooter from audio Settings.

    Select Start > Settings > System > Sound > Troubleshoot.

    Should the issue continue, you can refer to this support article for further troubleshooting. The link has steps on how to troubleshoot sound issues in Windows 10.
