Troubleshooting

Controller not detected by Xbox or PC

Ensure the USB cable is firmly seated in both the controller and the console/PC port. Try a different USB port to rule out a hardware conflict.

Headset audio is not working

Verify that your headset plug is fully inserted into the 3.5mm jack. Check the audio settings in the console or PC menu to ensure the output is set to the controller.
