* From there, choose "Audio settings" and then "Headset mic." Here, you can adjust the microphone volume or mute it entirely using the toggle switch.

Option 2: Within a Party or Chat * If you're already in a party or chat, you can mute your mic directly within that specific window. * Press the Y button on your controller to mute/unmute your microphone.
