Why is my Xbox mic not working?
Sometimes, the problem lies in the controller. Try updating your controller's firmware via the Xbox Accessories app.

First, make sure your headset is properly connected to your controller. If that looks good, double-check your Xbox privacy settings to ensure your mic is allowed.
Hot take: Your mic might just be busted. Test it on another device to confirm. If it doesn't work there, time to get a new one.
Had the same issue last month and a simple hard reset did the trick. Hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds. Restart and see if it works.
Check if there's any debris or dust in the headset jack. I had a tiny piece of lint in mine once – a quick clean fixed everything!
