I have Razor gaming headphones with USB-A output; I bought an adapter so it can plug into my Series S controller. The console detects the headphones and stops playing from the speakers, but I can’t hear anything from the headphones.
#Headphones don’t play audio

What adaptor did you buy
Xbox doesn’t support USB audio (with only like 2 exceptions of very specific wireless headphones that have a “designed for Xbox” logo and specifically say their little base station work via usb with Xbox)

Check the audio mixer. Common issue for “no sound” is because the audio is fully on the party chat side.

An audio jack to USB adapter seems like it would need to be active/powered, so it feels very unlikely what you bought is intended to move data in the direction you want it to. So it would really help to know what adapter you bought.

What adaptor did you buy
It’s just a little piece that I can plug the usb in and the 3.5mm audio jack comes out the other side
Then I plug that into my controller

Yea there is no way that’s gonna work with an Xbox controller.
I’m interested to see exactly what it was though if you have a link.

Yea that’s a dedicated connector converter for a very specific piece of hardware and doesn’t do what you want it to do lol

Yep, 90% of listings on Amazon for similar cables for for "UDisk," whatever that is.

Alright this is my last attempt before just buying new headphones
I’m connected to my Xbox Series S rn with my AirPods(via Bluetooth transmitter plugged into controller)
It doesn’t seem like the mic is working so can anyone confirm that the AirPods mic will not work with Series S?
I’m pretty sure some of my friends have done it but it might have been with the Series X

It's more likely to be the bluetooth transmitter you're using... are you sure it's for mic + speaker passthrough?
