I am having a problem with my PC38X with Xbox X. My first headset was and is the SteelSeries Arctis 7X+ and when playing online with others, they are able to hear me. When I switch over to the PC38X (plugged into the Xbox wireless controller), they are not able to hear me. I can switch back and forth between the two headsets, and they hear me immediately with the 7X+ and then can't hear me the second I switch over to the PC38X. The Xbox software shows in the controller settings that the headset mic is set to on, and I have mic monitoring turned all the way up and can hear myself talking into the mic. But even while hearing my mic'd voice say "Testing, can you hear me?" they tell me they can't. Is there anything I'm forgetting to set?

I have a few tiny amp+dacs, like an HRT microStreamer and a powerful LH Labs Geek Out V2A, but I'd also like to be able to use larger equipment like Woo WA7, Schiit Jotunheim, Modi MB, O2 amp, ODAC, Geek Pulse, etc.
A co-worker once posted a picture of his "portable" setup, and he had a milk crate with a few amps+dacs held in place with Velcro straps. One variation even had a Woo Audio WA6 tube amp strapped to the top of the crate. :-) I like the practicality of this approach, but it's pretty bulky, and gets low marks for aesthetics.
Do you have the same problem -- no comfortable place to keep a listening station set up? (I'm curious how many other folks are in a similar situation.)
Do you have an "in-home portable" headphone setup? What is it and how do you like it?
