Using The Audio Adapter With Apple Headphones

1. Plug the audio adapter into your Xbox One console.
2. Insert one end of the 3.5 mm audio cable into the audio adapter and the other end into your headphones.
3. Press the “Xbox Button” on your controller to turn on the audio output from your Xbox One console to your headphones (the green light will come on). Note that you may need to wait a few moments for this step to complete since there is a slight delay between when you press the “Xbox Button” and when it turns on output from your Xbox One console. This is normal and should not cause any issues for you or anyone else around you.
4. After pressing the “Xbox Button”, plug in an earbud (or use two earbuds) into one of the 3.5 mm jacks located at the front of each set of Apple headphones (the ones with a white wire and black control box). You can also use these jacks to plug in your Xbox One controller or Xbox Live headset if you have one.
5. You should hear audio coming from the headphones and your Xbox One console at the same time (if you don’t, press the “Xbox Button” again). If you do not hear any audio, make sure that your headphones are plugged into the correct jacks on the audio adapter and that there is a good connection between them (unplug the adapter, plug it into a different jack on your Apple headphones, and then plug them back into the adapter).
6. Now that you have everything plugged in correctly, press the “Xbox Button” again to turn the output from your Xbox One console to your headphones off (the green light will go out). This step is necessary to prevent feedback on the mic when using an Apple headphone as a mic. If there are still no sounds being played by either device, make sure that they are both turned on in their respective settings.

4. From now on, when you play games or watch movies, you can use Apple headphones as a mic for your Xbox One console!
5. To disconnect from Xbox Live, press and hold the Xbox button on your controller.
