Voice Chat Issues With Nintendo Switch

If you are experiencing the following symptoms when you use your headset with Fortnite on a Nintendo Switch, please try the steps below:

• Mic Not Working in Chat   (you can’t be heard in chat)
• Chat Audio Not Working   (you cannot hear other people in chat)

You may need to re-enable the in-game chat. In addition, you may need to disable the Push-to-Talk feature.

To do so:

1. Make sure you are logged in to your profile. Once you are logged in, press the  +  button on the switch to bring up the Social menu. Scroll down to and then select the gear icon on the bottom of the left sidebar.

2. The sidebar will change in appearance from your friends list to a list of several different options. Select the “Settings” option, as shown below.

3. You will see several tabs on the top of the screen. Scroll to the Speaker tab – this is the Audio Settings tab. Then, scroll down to section labelled “Voice Chat”.

There will be two toggle settings:  Voice Chat and  Voice Chat Method.

•   Voice Chat  is  ON  by default. To be able to hear and be heard in chat, this setting needs to be  ON. If this setting is turned off, you will not be able to hear the chat audio, and you will not be able to be heard in chat.
• Voice Chat Method  is set to  PUSH-TO-TALK  by default. To be able to be heard in chat whenever you speak, this setting needs to be  OPEN MIC. If this setting is set to PUSH-TO-TALK, you will not be heard in chat unless you press a specific button when you speak into the mic.

Make sure that the  Voice Chat  is  On  and the  Voice Chat Method is set to  Open Mic , and then test the headset again. You should be able to hear and be heard in the chat.

Mic Usage/Mic Issues

The Stealth 600 for PS4/PS4 Pro 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.

1. Check that the Headset And Transmitter Are Paired/Mic Monitor is Functioning

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

1. Make sure the headset is powered  OFF. Press and Hold the  Pairing Button  on the Transmitter until the Transmitter’s  Pairing LED flashes rapidly,  then release. (Use a Paperclip or something similar to press the pinhole button.)
2. Press and Hold the  Power Button  on the Headset until the Headset’s  Power LED flashes rapidly  (5 seconds), then release.
3. Within 10 seconds, the Headset and Transmitter’s LED will remain  solid,  indicating that pairing was successful.
4. As an extra test, raise the mic monitor volume level with the lower dial on the headset. Then, flip the mic forward, and speak into the mic. Can you hear yourself through the headset when you speak into the mic?

If you can hear yourself through the headset when you speak into the mic, the mic itself is working well.

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

2. The PS4/PS4 Pro Chat Settings are Configured

If you are able to hear yourself through the headset when you speak into the mic, then the mic itself is working properly, but the settings on your console may not be configured for headset use.

• PS4:  Go to  Settings  >  Devices >  Audio Devices and select  USB Headset (Stealth 600). Go back one screen to “ Adjust Microphone Level ” and follow the on-screen calibration instructions. If the bar moves when you speak into the mic, you have verified that the mic is working properly.
