Even better reset method: "Hard reset" (Recruitment)

Also Kermit, I've been thinking recently about the issues you've had with your headset(s). Have you ever updated your controller firmware?

Yes, both of them. I've said some unkind things about my A40s (and I do believe they can be finicky), but you may be onto something--I'm starting to wonder if the problem is software related. Recently I've tried two different headsets and neither worked. Last night I switched to Kinect for chat, and that worked ... until it didn't.

Later I joined another friend's party and he was using Kinect because his headset stopped working.

This has been the most infuriating aspect of the next-gen consoles for me.
