Use headset through controller as only audio source?

[Jon Arild Aanestad]

I am just wondering if there is a way to get the sound from the games through the controller connected headset on the xbox one, or if the headset is for chatting only. I know that PS4 has this option, but I haven't read anything about this option on the xbox.

Not with the controller that comes with the console. If you get the Stereo headset you can get the ingame audio in that.

To be more accurate MV means not with the HEADSET that currently comes with the system.

If you get (almost) any headset designed for the XBOX One - it'll come with a new 'adapter' that plugs into the controller (it looks almost exactly like the same one with the headset you have now). You'll plug your new headsets into the controller with that and I believe you're good to go.
