How do I get sound from my xbox 360 through my headphones?

Question

I have an old xbox 360 without an HDMI import. I cannot get game sound through my headphones. What do I do?

Go to

Settings > Audio > Audio Output >

change the output to "headset only"
If that doesn't work, try your headset with another device- it may not be working properly.
Sometimes audio device support is added after your version- check to see if there are any new updates
make sure your headset is compatible with Xbox- some headsets don't have the right jack size, etc
Check game volume (in game settings) and Master volume (in Xbox settings)
Consider buying an adapter for your controller
