I know a number of AVF's have an Astro Headset. The set up will likely be similar for other headsets that use a form of Mix amp.
Without the adapter you are able to now use the Headset via Optical. This has BOTH chat and Game audio coming through the headset. However, the mixamp does not mix, because the audio is coming from a single source (like when audio plays through your TV).
In order to use the MixAmp to "mix" the voice/game audio, you need a headset adapter (released this Friday according to Game).
Here is a how to - Roll on Friday

Hello Astroids!
The time has come and Microsoft have finally announced their Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter which will allow you to use the full functionality of your A50 Wireless System! This thread is going up early so you can read the instructions ready for March which is when the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter will be on sale. If you have any questions before then, please feel free to ask in this thread and we will answer them to the best of our ability.

2) Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.
3) 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter which is included with the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter.
Downloading the latest firmware update for your Xbox One Controller
To use the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter, your Xbox One Controller will need the latest firmware update installed. Xbox Support has a guide which can be found here which will take you through the process. Once you have installed the latest firmware update on your Xbox One Controller, please come back to this thread to continue.
Connecting the A50 Wireless System to your Xbox One1) Connect the included optical cable from the optical input on the A50 MixAmp TX to the optical output found on the back of the Xbox One.
2) Connect the included USB to USB-Mini cable from the USB input on the A50 MixAmp TX to one of the USB ports found on the back of the Xbox One.

5) Select Optical audio and then select Bitstream out.
6) Select Bitstream format and then select Dolby Digital.
Configuring the Xbox One Stereo Headset AdapterBy default, the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter will output both game audio and voice audio which will render the mixer on the A50 Wireless Headset unusable. Follow the below steps to set the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to only output voice audio which will correct this.
1) Set the mixer on the A50 Wireless Headset to full voice audio. To do this, hold down the voice button on the A50 Wireless Headset until you hear two beeps. Two beeps is an indication that you have fully mixed towards either game or voice depending on what button you was holding.
2) On the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter, hold down the chat audio button until you can no longer hear game audio and can only hear voice audio.
3) On the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter, hold down the plus button until the voice audio no longer increases.
That's all that's to it! You will now be able to use the microphone from your A50 Wireless Headset on your Xbox One and the mixer will work as intended allowing you to mix between game audio and voice audio with ease. Should you have any further questions regarding the A50 Wireless Headset and Xbox One, please feel free to post them on this thread and we'll respond as quickly as possible with an answer for you.
