Mic Usage/Mic Issues

The Stealth 600 for Xbox One has an adjustable mic. To use the mic, gently push (“flip”) the mic forwards. You will hear a tone (low high) when the mic itself is unmuted. When the mic is fully pushed forwards, the mic will “lock” into position. To mute the mic, just flip the mic back the other way. You will hear a tone (high low) when the mic is muted.

If other players are unable to hear you in Xbox Live Chat or on your Xbox One console, please check the following.

1. Check That The Headset And Console Are Paired/Mic Monitor is Functioning

The Headset and Console need to be paired to each other in order for the mic to work. Make sure that the Headset and Console have been successfully paired. To do so:

1. Press the Xbox/Home button on the Xbox One controller.
2. Go to  Settings >> All Settings >> Kinect  & Devices >> Devices  &   Accessories.
3. You will see the controller you are currently using; you should be able to scroll to the right to see other devices being used with the Console. The headset will appear in this list as  “Headset”.
4. As an additional test, speak into the mic. If the headset is paired, you should be able to hear your own voice through the headset. Can you hear yourself through the headset when you speak into the mic?

If you can see the headset in the list of devices, and can hear yourself when you speak into the mic, proceed to the next test. If you do not see that headset listed, or you cannot hear yourself through the headset, please contact our  Support Team.

2. Party Test – Check for Icon Ring

1. Press the Xbox/Home button on the Xbox One controller.
2. Scroll to the  Party  tab, and select  “Start   A Party”.  You do not need to invite other players to this party; you can perform this test alone in the party.
3. Speak into the mic. When you speak into the mic, does a ring light up around the icon next to your Gamertag (in the list of party members)? If so, continue to the Test Message.

If you don’t see that ring, please contact our  Support Team.

3. Record a Test Message

1. Press the Xbox/Home button on the Xbox One controller.
2. Scroll to  Messages >> New Conversation.
3. Choose a friend from the list. You will not be sending this message, so you don’t have to choose a specific person.
4. After you choose a person, two options will appear: Write a Message (pencil icon on left) and Record a Message (mic icon on right). Select the Record a   Message/Mic icon  on the right.
5. Select  Record,  and then speak into the mic. When you are done recording, stop the recording.
6. The new recording should appear under the Write a Message/Record a Message icons. Select  Play,  and listen to that recording you made. This will tell you how your voice will sound to other players. Can you hear your voice clearly?

If you can hear your voice clearly, the mic itself is working well.

If you cannot hear your voice clearly, please contact our  Support Team.

4. Power Cycle Headset/Console

To perform a quick power cycle with the Headset/Console, please do the following, in this order:

1. Press and hold the  Power Button  on the Headset until the  Power LED  turns off.
2. Power down the Xbox One Console. When it has fully powered down, unplug the Console from the wall outlet.
3. Let everything sit for a minute.
4. Plug the Console back in, and power the Console on again.
5. Press and hold the  Power button  on the Headset until the  Power LED  lights up.
6. Re-pair the Headset and Console. To do this:
   • First make sure the Headset is  powered on.
   • Then, press the  Pairing Button  on the Xbox One console. The  LED  on the front of the Console should start  blinking.
   • Then, press and hold the  Connect Button  on the Headset until the  LED  starts  flashing rapidly,  indicating that it is in pairing mode.
   • The Headset and Console will pair. When this happens, the Console will show a  “Headset Assigned”  message, and you should hear a tone. The Headset and Console LEDs will both be  solid. You should be able to test the mic again.

If the Power Cycle does not resolve this, please contact our  Support Team.

Turtle Beach Audio Hub – Update Firmware and Customize Controls

It is important to always run the most up-to-date firmware in order to enjoy the best audio experience.

The Turtle Beach Audio Hub will automatically check for the newest firmware and install the newest version if available.

The  Turtle Beach Audio Hub  is available for Windows  and Mac.

1. Connect your  Stealth 600 for Xbox One  to your  PC/Mac  using the included  USB Cable.
2. Open the  Turtle Beach Audio Hub  app

At this point if your headset requires a new update you will be prompted to begin this process.

**Note:  This process may take a couple minutes. Do  not  disconnect your headset until the process is complete. **

Once the process is complete enroll your headset with your Xbox One.  The update process erases the Xbox Wireless connection so it is essential that this step is taken.  Detailed Steps available  here.

Now you are able to adjust some of your Stealth 600 for Xbox One settings.

Mic Monitor  – This setting allows you to control how loud you hear yourself in the headset.  If this is turned down all the way you will not hear your own voice at all, while if you turn it up all the way you will hear your voice loudly through the headset.  When wearing over-ear style headphones this helps prevent you from yelling.  If this setting is turned up to the maximum level you may also hear some ambient noise from other sources of sound in your room.

Tones – This setting controls how loud the indication tones you hear in your headset play.  These are tones that play when toggling your EQ Presets, Superhuman Hearing, and when Powering On/Off. If this is set to the minimum you will not hear any indication tones.

The information screen displays some essential details that may be needed when troubleshooting an issue or talking with Customer Support.  The links lead to the Support section of the Turtle Beach website. (Which you are currently reading right now!)

Troubleshooting the Wireless Connection

If you believe you may have encountered interference-related issues when using the Stealth 600 wireless headset for Xbox One, such as  audio drop-outs , or  other intermittent audio issues , please first check the following.

1.  First, confirm that the headset is successfully paired to the Xbox One console by completing the pairing process, as instructed here. In addition, make sure the headset firmware is updated (full instructions  here), and that the headset is charged (for more information, click  here).

2.  Make sure the Xbox One Firmware is up-to-date. (Full instructions  here.)

3.  Try the following steps:

1. Power Off the Xbox One console.
2. Disconnect the Power Cable from your Xbox One, and wait 20 seconds.
3. Reconnect the Power Cable to your Xbox One.
4. Power On the Xbox One using the Power Button on the front of the Console.
5. Re-pair  the headset to the console, using the Connect Button on your Headset and the Enroll Button on your Xbox One Console.
6. Once your Headset and Console are paired, connect the controller via USB to the console and turn the controller On.

Use a standard USB Micro Cable; if you do not have one, you can use the USB Charge Cable included with the headset.

While your controller is connected through USB, do you still experience the drop-out issues you encountered before?

If the issue is fixed, try disconnecting the USB Cable and continuing to use your Xbox One. Is everything working without issue?

4. Move the headset so that it is in direct line-of-sight of the console. Does the issue persist? Then, move the headset closer to the console. Does the issue persist?

5.  If there are any other USB devices connected to the console — including external hard drives, console cooling fans, controller charging stations, VR set ups, USB webcams, or anything similar — please power the console and those devices off. Then, unplug each of those devices. Once each of those USB devices has been removed, power the console on, and test the headset out again.

Does this issue continue? If not, the device that was unplugged may be contributing to the issue.

If this issue persists, please move to step 6.

6.  Make sure there is no WiFi router or other high-powered wireless device within 5 ft (1.5m) of either the headset or console itself while in use. Depending on the strength of your particular router, you may want to increase the distance beyond 5 ft, to be absolutely sure. In addition, please make sure that any other wireless headsets (Turtle Beach or otherwise) are powered off and disconnected from any power source when using the Stealth 600 headset.

7.  Additionally, even if there is no WiFi router located in the immediate vicinity of either the headset or Xbox One console, a good test is to temporarily disable (power off) the router and then test the headset on your console by playing a single-player or offline game. If the same issue does not persist, it is safe to assume the router is indeed causing wireless interference between the console and headset.

ADVANCED

Turtle Beach is not responsible for third-party equipment. Please do not attempt the following unless you are familiar with changing router settings and/or networking.

The Stealth 600 for Xbox One includes a dual-band antenna, which can use either 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, similar to most Wi-Fi routers. If you have completed the steps above, and can confirm your Wi-Fi router is indeed causing interference for the headset, you may be able to resolve this by restricting your Wi-Fi router to operate on one frequency (2.4GHz or 5GHz) only. This way the headset can operate on the unused frequency, while the router uses the other, hopefully preventing any further interference between the two. This can be done within your router/networking settings; however, the process to complete this will vary between model and manufacturer for each router.

If the same, seemingly interference-related issues continue to occur, please contact our support team:  Contact Support
