Xbox One users have been asking for a way to use a USB mic on their console for years now. Microsoft has finally given in and released a support document that explains how to do so. To start, make sure your Xbox One is connected to the internet and your computer. Once you’re connected, open the Xbox One’s settings and select “System.” In System, under “Hardware,” select “Input Devices.” Under “Input Devices,” select “USB Mic.” Now that you’ve selected the input, press the “X” button on your controller to confirm. Now that you’ve confirmed the input, open up your audio software and create a new file called “mic.wav” with the following content: Now that you’ve created your mic.wav file, copy it to your computer’s hard drive. Open up Windows Explorer and paste it into the address bar of your browser. Now open up Skype and type in mic.wav into the chat box and hit enter. You’ll now be able to use your USB mic on Skype!
