The Microsoft Stereo Chat Adapter has been release for the Xbox One, and we thought it was about time for us to update our connection guide.

A30 & A40 Audio Systems

 

Downloading the latest firmware for your MixAmp Pro.

Before you begin connecting your MixAmp Pro to the Xbox One be sure to update your MixAmp Pro to the latest firmware to ensure the best performance.

1) On a Windows based PC download the latest MixAmp Pro Firmware Update V5003 which can be done by clicking here.

3) Connect the included USB to USB-Mini cable from the USB input on the MixAmp Pro to one of the USB ports on your PC.

4) Run the ASTRO Gaming firmware update and follow the onscreen instructions to update your MixAmp Pro.

 

Connecting the A40 or A30 Audio System to your Xbox One.

1) Connect the included USB to USB-Mini cable to the USB-Mini input marked “USB” on the MixAmp Pro

    Did a converter come with headset or is this a separate item?

    That firmware still has issues. When is the update coming? The audio is muffled and too low on the mic.
