Turtle Beach Ear Force X11: XBOX Turtle Beach X11 Headset Wires Cut -- Need help with rewiring

Tue, 05 Jun 2018 19:47:10 -0700

I am having an issue with my Turtle Beach X11 headset cables. My cat chewed through the cable today just after the coupler where the 3 wires (USB, Green and Gold) connect. I had to cut off the coupler because the break was too close to get any wire to feed out of. Now I'm looking at 3 sets of wires on one end and 4 separate sets on the other. I've gone through and tried to twist them back separately but I'm not getting power to the remote unit. I've checked the wires for any additional damage down the line and the wires are free of any punctures.

Here's a picture of what the wires do: Wiring Guide

###THREE SEPARATE WIRES BEFORE COUPLER###

When I describe a wire as being insulated with two colors it's not the sheathing that's a different color, there are actually two different colored wires within the sheath.

[USB]

--Gold and Blue copper wires twisted

--Blue{insulated}

[Green Headphone]

--Red{insulated}

--Green{insulated}

--Gold copper wire

[Peach Microphone]

--Red and Gold copper wire twisted

--Blue and Gold wires{insulated}

----------------------------------------------

###MAIN WIRE AFTER COUPLER###

This wire has 4 main wire twists with subsets of wires within each main set. Note: all the wires that are wrapping around insulated wires are exposed to each other.

[1st Wire]

--Blue and Gold copper wire wrapped around

--Blue[insulated]

[2nd Wire]

--Red{insulated}

--Gold copper wire wrapped around the red wire

[3rd Wire]

--Green{insulated}

--Gold copper wire wrapped around the green wire

[4th Wire]

--Blue and Gold{insulated}

--Red and Gold copper wires wrapped around the blue and gold

I've tried connecting just the USB cables to their matching sets and getting power to the control unit but the LED light on the control unit is not coming on. I've also tried just wrapping all 4 exposed sets of wires together but that doesn't help either.

If you have any insight I will be forever greatful.

Thanks.

Turtle Beach Ear Force X11: Why won’t my turtle beach 50x headphones work on Xbox one?

Tue, 11 Jun 2019 03:01:27 -0700

I AM ASKING ABOUT TURTLE BEACH 50X NOT THE X11 THE 50X wasn’t a listed device. I was using my turtle beach 50x headset and it worked fine for the most part. The plug on the headset was a little bent but it never gave me much of a problem. I got off Xbox for a little and came back and I couldn’t hear any game audio and now my Xbox can’t even detect that the mic and headset is connected. I tried it on another controller and it works for a little and cuts out, but it works 100% fine on a computer. Not sure if it’s a controller or headset problem.

Turtle Beach Ear Force X11: How do I fix staticy volume knob?

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 11:23:03 -0700

On my headset, there’s a few spots on the volume control knob where one side will get loads of a scratchy static and cut out all sound going to that side. I’ve taken the housing apart several times throughout the years and ran the knob back and forth to try to clear this up, but I’m fed up and want to fix it for real now.

I couldn’t find anything here, but doing some digging I think I found an answer, and wanted to share it at the very least: cleaning the potentiometer. Other suggestions are welcome still!
