i havent found anything like that let...but like i said b4, got to "test my XBL connection" then wait untill it goes through all of the steps untill the last one....the NAT one...and if your connection for that one is "poor" or "moderate" then thats your problem, try to get that to the best one and you should have no probs

What does NAT mean to me and my friends?

Suppose you want to host an Xbox Live game and you're using a router that's classified as open. As the following table shows, you can be confident that your router's NAT type will not keep your friends (who may also be using routers) from finding your session, hearing your voice, and enjoying a great game.

from xbox.com

Let's look at one final example going the other direction: you joining someone else's game. Will you be able to participate fully with everyone in the game? If you have a moderate NAT on your home network, you can get an idea of what may happen by consulting the table. If the players you want to play with are using strict NATs, you will likely experience problems. You may not be able to hear them and they may not be able to hear you. Your Xbox 360 console may not be able to "see" those players at all.

more info

* Open NAT means that either the port-assignment policy is minimal or the device has a fully compliant version of UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) enabled by default.
* Moderate NAT means that the port-assignment policy is minimal, but the device is filtering addresses or ports.
* Strict NAT means the port-assignment policy is aggressive.

basically if you have strict then they cant hear you and you cant hear them

my nat is open, wtf mannn this is started to piss me off if its the mic or somethng i only have like 5 more days to return it

[HKSevo]

I'll return it for a new one, and if you still have the problem at least you know its not the mic.
