How to Unmute People on the Xbox Live Mic

Xbox Live connects players from around the world and enables them to enjoy cooperative and competitive games together. On Xbox Live, players use a headset to communicate with teammates and co-op partners. If you can't hear anyone while playing a game, you may have muted your headset. If you only hear some players but not others, you'll need to unmute them in the Xbox Live Friends menu.
