This actually fixed my issue so far. I jumped up one day and my controller slinged off my lap ripping the headphone jack out of the port. I had to push up on the jack and twist just to get audio until I tried this trick with tapping the toothpick straight back. Thanks!
Sir. I just wanted to say I’m watching this in 2023. And you just saved me $80 on a new controller. I was sitting here thinking this was bull I might blow up my controller. NOPE. I just wanted to say thank you. you’ve earned my sub and a like. Thank you.
You are a life saver 🙌🏽! I’ve been using the Xbox app for a year now and finally got a new mic and it wasn’t working then I realized it was something wrong with the headphone Jack, looked up your vid and it instantly fix it thank you so much🙏🏾
I acc have a lot of respect for this guy he helped me out a lot but if that doesn’t work go to settings-accessories-configure on the controller you want to fix then update it
I don't know how to fix this but my mic disconnects every time I move. I think there is something out of place in the jack because I tried it already on another controller and it works fine. I have tried a lot of methods and it just keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey the sound still always played from my TV and i would just have to turn it down. On PS4 everything is muted upon plugging in a headset so it might seem weird.
This has happened to me a couple of times. I can't say for sure if it's the same problem always, but the audio jack (the piece where you connect your headset) is not soldered on the controller. It's just set on top, squished between the controller board and the plastic chassis. My hypothesis is that after plugging and unplugging the headset many times, or maybe just shaking the controller too much, can cause the jack to become a tiny bit loose. I can't explain why audio still works but not voice, but I know that in my case the audio is glitched out, it gets tiny breaks and it's pretty annoying sometimes. I think it's called a false contact. I suppose anyone with some technical know how could be able to solder the piece, but the contact points are very small. In theory you could also just set it back in place and carefully assemble the controller back up, or place some sort of thin item between the jack and the controller chassis to keep it from moving around.
Thank you sooooooo much one day my headset stopped working on my remote I was really confused and didn't know how to fix it, but I watched this video and fixed it instantly thank you.
thank u so much dawg everyone else is always saying just to update the controller but it doesn’t work for me and i’m so happy you taught me to do all this extra stuff and it worked!!! 🙏
Press home button and at the button there’s a audio setting and you can turn the mic on there and change audio setting and how much sound you want the mic to pick up
This actually worked for me on a controller I haven’t used in 2-3 years because the headphone jack was broke. I was excited I fixed it now my right bumber is broken again 😭
100% if you’re reading this you looked in the comments to see if it was true. I came across this video as I too had the same issue. Get a needle, Wack it into the headset jack, then you’re good to go! No tell of a lie, it works 👍👍
I was seriously thinking there was no way this was legit, thanks for the honest comment. If this actually worked for anyone in all seriousness I would just have to quit at life.
So, I opened up my controller because my jack had gotten ripped out of the socket. I got it back in place, now I can't fix my controller without the pieces falling. Can't afford a new one.
My headset will have volume in one ear but not the other, and when I twist the jack it eventually makes both sides start working but then it cuts off the second I take my hand off the jack, will that fix it?
the problem i am facing is that i can hear game audio and the xbox audio but the mic doesnt work and i can confirm its not an internet problem or the headset problem because i can talk with my friends using the second controller. does anyone provide me with a fix of this problem
So far this fixed an issue I had with my controller. It was engaging dolby atmos for headphones without any headset being connected. Kept changing my Denon AV Receiver from 5.1 Dolby to Dolby Pro Logic (which isn't surround sound). Really annoying issue but having a 2nd controller proved it was my original controller 3.5 jack at fault not the receiver.
Unfortunately unlike many other people, this didn't work for me. When I plug my headphones in, I get a little feedback then nothing. Dead silence. The Adio and Music menu you bring up from the bottom center Xbox button. All of the adjustable slide bar choices are greyed out. I can't do anything with them. I think I just got a bad controller, I got this refurbished on Amazon. The controller is great but I stupidly never tested out the audio jack until tonight. It's been about 3 months since I purchased it so I can't send it back.
I actually have a tip for you if you're scared to use this! Take a flashlight look into the controller and if you see any dust get it out if you don't see any dust go to your settings and mute your Xbox ❤️
guys what do i do mines work and my volume is on 22 and i still cant hear it good enough like it sounds like its on 2 but when i plug the headphones into another controller it works (the controller is new btw got it today)
for some reason i cant hear in my left ear my headset isn’t broken because sometimes i hear static in it and it just goes no audio does anyone know a fix
thanks i appericate this i use a powera controller and i have heard alot of people having audio issues with them and i couldnt hear audio from my right ear but i could from my left ear so i was thinking maybe its something with the software and i cant fix it by doing that and ik it wasnt my headset cause i just got a new one and then i tried this and now i can hear through both ears again so i appreciate this
Both my headphones Turtle Beach brand (wired) and SkullCandy Hesh 2 wireless(but using wired) using both on a PS4 controller works fine a BRAND NEW XBOX ONE CONTROLLER neither work only on the left side does sound work controller is BRAND NEW and was never dropped nothing works
Guys I’m dumb. I realized I had my volume at zero
Don't worry I've done that before too 😂
I also did the same thing bro
😂
Facts
It won’t let me turn the volume up
wish i knew this 4 controllers and 8 headsets ago
I wish i knew this 6 controllers 16 headsets ago :/
Note it doesn’t work

Same, i barley move and my headset stops working
Dude literally worked I used a small paintbrush and my favorite controller works again this is great
I just got my XBox a few days ago and it’s already not working. I also want to know if the sound is still supposed to be playing from my TV too
Hey the sound still always played from my TV and i would just have to turn it down. On PS4 everything is muted upon plugging in a headset so it might seem weird.
Probably the power supply if u have a Xbox one
This genuienly works! Connection is still a little loose but audio is back to 100% functional. Recommend trying this
So my issue is where I can hear everything perfect but I can't talk, but when I switch controllers I can talk again
I have the same did you vind the awnser
I have the opposite problem where I can hear party chats but not the game volume
I have this same problwm

I have the same issue. Just go to settings and update your controller. It just fixed mine
Thank you so much every time this happened I had to buy a new jack, you saved me a lot of money 😄
Holy cow this guy is a life saver. My headphones not only work now, they sound substantially better. Thank you so much 🥰🥰.
Dam it I went to GameStop thinking my headphones was the problem it was my controller now I'm really pissed off and now I just found this video
Youre a genius its worked for me by just pushing it back thanks
Thank you sooooooo much one day my headset stopped working on my remote I was really confused and didn't know how to fix it, but I watched this video and fixed it instantly thank you.
Are you real
@@johndamilkman yes. are you?
As soon as it worked, I subscribed this is like a miracle for my controller
I have a problem where mine cuts out left and right ear and I gotta move it to get sound out of both. Does this fox?

My controllers mic jack hasn't worked in years this actually fixed it thank you so much
bruh after like 2 years it now works, this guy is the best
Does anyone know how to fix this so the audio comes out I can here call of duty but the mic doesn’t work
Press home button and at the button there’s a audio setting and you can turn the mic on there and change audio setting and how much sound you want the mic to pick up
What brand of headphones are you using ?
I did this and broke it more 😍😍😍
Yeah ikr
I was thinking u were trying to make me break my controller but this actually works
This actually worked for me on a controller I haven’t used in 2-3 years because the headphone jack was broke. I was excited I fixed it now my right bumber is broken again 😭
bruh
been 2 years with this remote and it worked, thank you so much
when if irst saw this i thaught it wasnt going to fix it, IT FIXED IT!

This guy is the goat and I was playing with my friends and the mic just stoped working so thank you
It broke my controller even more thanks for the help
This was the comment I was looking for
Same bruh, now I have to buy a new controller 😩
No cap
I was seriously thinking there was no way this was legit, thanks for the honest comment. If this actually worked for anyone in all seriousness I would just have to quit at life.
Mine only works when turned the right way and I can feel the play in it when I wiggle the outlet
It worked great 2 minutes total definitely try
There is now a piece of wood stuck in my scuff controller and it like fits perfectly how can I get it out?!
F
Tiny glue on a needle then stick it to the wood and pull it out
Too much glue could get in the controller tho so be careful
Would this work if I am having problems hearing the audio like in game? Because I can hear my friends and everything fine and talk to them
Okay question, can you just get a adapter and use it if u cant get the thing out?
Mate idk what happened with mine but it turns off after i plug in the headphones what should i do ?
U should throw it at the wall as hard as possible and check if it works afterwards
Have a echo I'm pretty sure is coming from the jack. Will this fix it or do I just get a new one?
I had audio in one ear and after doing this i have no audio whatsoever, thanks :D
No way this actually worked thank you so much
ive tried this on 3 controllers i think im doing something wrong
@@benmiller453 done it with 2 controllers.. 1 being fairly new
Would if you can't plug your headphones all the way in your controller. Does this video apply to that too.
Never thought it would actually work. Sir you are a genius
I can only hear out of one side of my headset, but if I wiggle the plug, it can pick up sound. Idk what to do.
omg its a christmas miracle this works
wait actually ;-;
Going to work, I’m praying this works on my series controller when I get home!
All u need is to update ur controller by going to devices and accessories in Xbox setting. Try that first and if it doesn't work, it's toothpick time.
bro this same video has helped me two times, this time I had this problem and knew which video to find.
Thankyou so much bro i just bought a new controller and droped it by accident and it stoped working tried this now it works 👍👍
So, I opened up my controller because my jack had gotten ripped out of the socket. I got it back in place, now I can't fix my controller without the pieces falling. Can't afford a new one.
Thank you. you just saved me having to buy a new controller
Dude u saved me.. thank you so much I was ready to call Xbox support!!
Wtf I didn't expect this to actually work

will it work still if it makes my mic make a whole bunch of noise and they can’t hear me ??

Wat do u mean mute ur Xbox

How!!

10 is kinda crazy but honestly still kind of reasonable. They make the controllers so cheaply and crappily made
It work but now there’s a hissing sound in my headphones

I updated my controller and it started working
It worked thanks for then tip I first took a qtip and pushed it in and tried to fix it then I saw your comment updated and t works thanks
Yup update it before you start hitting things queued for me too
I dont think that has anything to do with the fact that i dropped it a d it stopped working

What if it didn't work after trying multiple times mine is still bad
No way it actually works thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
For my one I can hear people in parties and game sound but no audio projects out the mic
This deserves a like and follow tbh
Tried this, my mic is having issues when I’m not even using it. Every time I punch or any noise in the game it just goes off.
My problem is my controller thinks the headset is still in when its not even plugged into the controller, my controller is a pdp afterglow
Omg tysm my friends would always complain about my headset being so echoey even though I knew it wasn’t my headset. I tried this and it worked
