Astro A40 TR Plus Mixamp M80: How can I fix the wire that connects to the M80 mixamp

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 08:02:38 -0700

The microphone and one of the speakers to my Astro A40 headset have stop functioning. If the wire attached to the M80 mixamp is angled and pushed just right, both components will start to work. I suspect that the wires enabling the speaker and mic to work have somehow loss connection due tugs on the cord. I think if the coppers wires were reconnected that the headset would start functioning normal again. I need information and a video on how to disassemble the M80 mixamp for the xbox one to expose these wires, but without harming the casing.

How can I fix where the wire connects to the headset? (Not where it connects to the mix amp). If I move it just right at the spot it connects to the headset it works, but generally it has stopped picking up sound from the mic.

Astro A40 TR Plus Mixamp M80: Why is my mircrophone not working?

Sat, 08 Apr 2023 09:21:51 -0700

Hey, I am using the astro a40 TR and the mixamp that came with it but for some reason my microphone is not being picked up anymore (it used to work fine).

Both the headset, the mixamp and the microphone still work as I tested each individually but together the mic drops out.

For example, if I plug in the heasdset with mic directly into the pc then I can either listen (audio out) or use the mic (audio in) so both work fine. If i plug in my default phone earbuds into the mixamp, both sound and mic work fine on the pc. However, when I plug in the headset with mic into the mixamp, only the sound works on the pc and not the mic.

I would think it could be the cable but then why does the headset + mic work when I plug it directly into the audio in/out ports of the pc. I am very much confused about this problem and I am not sure which steps I should take next to find the real issue.
