The retarded fact that I cant communicate

<mark>Do not post discriminatory comments, this includes thread titles.</mark>

This is my first day playing Halo 5 (nephews account) and I simply cannot communicate with other players. My mic functions perfectly fine, and sometimes I can talk to and hear other players. However, 95% of the time my mic doesn’t pick up my voice at all and I cant hear other players unless I join their party. Even then, I cant be heard. I feel like my potential for entertainment is being held back by the fact that I cant make call outs or communicate with my team and makes it impossible to play against a good team. This was often a problem when I played on Xbox 360, but never really happened on my PS4. Is this a common problem with Xbox one? If so, is there a solution?
