In all of Microsoft’s grand wisdom they discovered it necessary to make the new Xbox One headset adapter without a basic 2.5 mm headset jack. people have invested fantastic amounts of money in high quality headsets for previous game platforms that now cannot jack into the Xbox One controllers. This may seem like a déjà vu hack from a week back however it is different as well as adds more solutions for the irritating Xbox One headset compatibility problem.
[Jon Senkiw] A.K.A [Xandrel] wasn’t having any type of of this Microsoft nonsense so he cracked open the headset adapter situation that plugs into the Xbox One controller. He photographed the PCB as well as wiring as well as realized he might in shape a 2.5 mm headset jack from an old donor cellphone into the case. A dap of hot glue, some AWG 30 jumper wires as well as a bit of plastic trimming was all it took to get a jack inside the headset adapter just the method Microsoft should have done from the factory.
Previously when [octanechicken] added a 2.5 mm female phone adapter at the end of the cable he did not link the black cable to anything being it was the 2nd side of a push-pull speaker. However, from looking at [Jon’s] pictures he linked the speaker output cable to a solder pad on the PCB where the black cable originally connected, marked HPL, as well as he had nothing linked to the HPR pad. This seemed to work for [Jon] just fine, however is the opposite of what [octanechicken] did last week when he linked the blue cable to the speaker output which would have traced back to the HPR pad on the PCB.
This hack makes these controllers backwards compatible without as well much problem being reported. If you have problems please report right here or on [Jon’s] SE7ENSINS thread. He has likewise made comments on the thread that he is willing to assist mod headsets, so if you’re not able to hack this yourself [Jon] may be willing to help.
