Headphone sound quality..

Recommended Posts

OK so I'm an old fart (64) playing F1 games on the Xbox One Santa brought me at Christmas. However, I have a problem with the sound, or lack of it, through my headphones. I'm using a top of the range set of Sennheiser headphones and I'm barely able to hear any sound at all. I have been into the Audio settings and changed the output to 'Headphones', raised the levels of all the necessary sounds (I usually either cut off completely or lower any music sounds..), but nothing I'm doing seems to improve or increase the sound levels I'm hearing. Obvious question, but someone will ask - Yes, the headphones are working properly. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Cheers chaps.

I think this is an Xbox issue. Has nothing to do with the headphones. Headphones develloped for the XO come with their own little amplifier. This might be the issue. Check out this link; https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/2q5dv9/updated_xbox_one_audio_answers_headsetssurround/

Thanks for your reply. To be honest I'm not a techie type and most of what was posted on the link you provided went over my head. Although I love the F1 2015 racing I'm not prepared to fork out for specialist gaming headphones when I have a top quality set of Sennheisers already..!! Problem is I just can't seem to get the balance right when I go to audio setup. I specifically want to hear the race engineer and what he's saying but it's just too quiet. I have lowered the other parameters and have the 'talk back' at 100 but I'm still not happy with the levels. Of course it's impossible to use the subtitle option when racing - unless you want to spend a lot of time in gravel traps..!!  Woe is me..!!
