How do I get sound from my xbox 360 through my headphones?

I have an old xbox 360 without an HDMI import. I cannot get game sound through my headphones. What do I do?


Solution 1:

  1. Go to

    Settings > Audio > Audio Output >

    change the output to "headset only"

  2. If that doesn't work, try your headset with another device- it may not be working properly.

  3. Sometimes audio device support is added after your version- check to see if there are any new updates

  4. make sure your headset is compatible with Xbox- some headsets don't have the right jack size, etc

  5. Check game volume (in game settings) and Master volume (in Xbox settings)

  6. Consider buying an adapter for your controller
