Also you have to update your firmware before you can get voice chat on xbox and worse yet it will not auto update. If it's not 36797 or later it will not work. You have to manually find it not on their site the firmware and update it. If you need help finding it. Ask me a question and I'll help. Now all this seems like too many hoops for you to jump through then maybe this isn't for you. I feel it's worth it and honestly setup is super quick once you know what to do.
