Using the Kinect Microphone for Chat, how does one set it up correctly to use video chat, but not in games?
If you have Kinect configured to be your chat mic and you do not have another chat mic connected for each connected controller then Kinect will be picking up and broadcasting the audio during games.
Examples of when Kinect Mic will be used during a game: (Assumes that the "Use Kinect for Chat Mic" setting is set to "On".)
- One controller is connected and no chat mic is connected for that controller.
- Multiple controllers are connected and one or more controller(s) don't have a chat mic connected.
(You are probably hearing chat through your TV or sound system in these cases.)
Examples of when a Kinect Mic will not be used:
- When the "Use Kinect for Chat Mic" settings is set to "Off".
- When one controller is connected and there is also a chat mic connected for that controller.
- When more than one controller is connected and there is a chat mic connected for each controller.
