So i have a razer kraken v3 wired headset, it uses USB-A, it works for everything, but when i plug it into my xbox, I don't hear any sound at all, I tried changing and playing around with the volume and audio output settings but nothing worked, (The xbox is connected using a hdmi cable to my monitor)
I don't remember anymore but I think that the headset worked before I got the monitor. Anyone can help?
(The headset is compatible with xbox)
#Wired (USB-A) Headset won't work

Why wont xbox just support usb audio? (Also the headset didn't come with a 3.5mm jack cable, it's just a usb-a wired headset, so yeah ima use it for my pc only

xbox has their own priperity wireless protocols

They support normal wired headphones using the 3.5mm jack on teh controller, or wireless headphones using the official Xbox wireless protocol, or a very limited set of authorized headphones that use USB to connect a base station to your xbox that then do wireless
Bluetooth has more latency than the xbox wireless protocol, so for now they've decided 'in sync audio' is more important than 'cheap headphones'
As for supporting USB audio, I'm not entirely sure why they don't do that since there is a usb audio standard nowadays, but I assume it has to do with how most usb audio is the wild west of drivers and complexity
