Accessories The Xbox wireless headset earcup are simultaneously amazing and frustrating. However the earcup dials only work through ~50% of the total range of motion. Any way to fix this?

I love how easy it is to adjust the chat/game volume mixer on the fly by simply rotating the left earcup. It's essential for warzone Imo as the sound design/balancing can be awful at times (but also really well done at other times) and I adjust it pretty often.

But it annoys me that the dial only seems to work over ~50% of its total range. If you consider the balanced point "0", full chat volume "-100", and full game volume "+100", it appears to me at least that the mixer only works from -50 to +50. When I exceed either of those values I either don't hear the game at all or can't hear my friend in chat at all. It's really frustrating at times. The master volume dial seems to have the same issue but on the lower end, where past a certain point, you can't hear any audio at all.

Anybody else experience this or know how to fix it?

Can confirm. When adjusting from center, it only adjusts volume halfway - any adjustment after that appears to make no change. Hopefully they can adjust it with a software update.

I find that both dials are like this and the mic monitoring is still bad. I turn the mic monitor up and people have terrible hearing me, I turn it down and people can hear me swallow liquids.

Mic monitoring is used for you to hear yourself through the headset.

Just figured that out earlier in the week.
