Somethings wrong with my video player. I tried a bunch of apps and I'm getting error messages. If it does decide to play, I'm only getting audio but no video.
Using a Series X, I keep getting audio issues with my TV. The sound from the TV menus work, but theres no sound from the Xbox Input. I dont have it in the ARC HDMI, and I've already spent a good half an hour messing with White Balance on HDMI2, and I really dont want to have to redo it all.
I love the console, but the audio crackling issue is driving me nuts. Makes me not want to use the console at all. Given the tons of threads and messages about it that I've seen on various forums, it must be a known issue. I wish MS would at least acknowledge it so I'd have less reason to seek out a replacement if this was indeed something that could be addressed with firmware.
Are you referring specifically to audio-over-controller to headphones?
Audio to receiver, to headphones, and to sound bar. Same crackling issue.

You fucking garbage.
I'm in the middle of a ranked match and have to change my batteries.
This is the second time I have to rip all the cables and batteries it and hard reset everything because the controller and console lose sync and refuse to pair.
I'm have no cable to try and pair.
And now Gears 5 bans me because I left.

Any time I play any ranked match, I have wired accessories for this very reason.

I really need to get some usb to c cable for emergency. That's where a new play and charge could help.
I use eneloop otherwise. Only thing I can think of some how the a40 plugged into the stereo jack is the common element. But why.

Try to make it a habit of putting fresh batteries in when you're about to some ranked gameplay.
I bought a ten foot Amazon Basics cable last week for this very thing. I tried and returned the play and charge kit because even a little jostling would cause the controller to disconnect. My Eneloops last much longer anyway.
My raid team in Destiny lost a guy during a boss to the same problem you described above. Is this new to Series X or has it been like that on the One?
OP

Never had that problem with One X. Only that new hotness has had the problem.
Im curious do you leave your Series X in rest mode?
I haven't had controller sync problems once I started to full shutdown everytime. Not saying it's a fix, but my sync issues haven't resurfaced.
I have no fucking idea what to play. Nothing in my library is jumping out at me, nothing on Game Pass seemed immediately appealing, ugh. I want something gripping that's filled to the brim with action and nothing seems to be hitting that mark right now.

Yes. Always rest mode.
Loud Wrong BTW, cable link. Not sure how feasible for me, as console behind my TV though.
Mine is behind the TV too but I'm just 6 feet away so it reaches.
When it comes to PC gaming, the Series controller is "new" yet familiar...
Still my favorite controller for comfy PC gaming. Throw in some Eneloops and you're good to go.

I love it overall, but there are some annoyances.
1) It doesn't seem to work with Crackdown 3. It tries to work, but never really loads correctly and forces me to go out and start it again, which is odd.
2) For Minecraft Dungeons it remembers which controller I used which is an annoyance as I often use one of the controllers for my PC and then have to go get that specific controller as the game is insistent on using it rather than being open to letting me use one of my other controllers.
I'm wishing so much that I had bought an extra Series controller for $40 during black friday. I find myself using my old xbox one controllers more often unless I play serious ranked matches because I don't want to wear my only Series controller down. But it's SO much better that I want to always use one. damn
Sorry if this has been discussed but all of a sudden my Series X controller vibration is really loud. So is the additional blue Series X controller I bought. I've had them since day one, but just noticing the noise as of this week. It's super loud and immersion breaking. Almost like something is loose. Anyone else with this issue?
It really is crazy how much better the Series X controller is than the One.
Going back and forth between the two is night and day.
This is me also. The Series Controller is really great.
The best way I can explain it is that, you didn't really realize how bulbous and odd the 360 controller felt when you held it; until you held the One controller.
Its the same from holding a One controller to a Series controller. Much more sleek and fits perfect in your hand.
One Microsoft. I think all microsoft accounts have a 'ghost' xbox account associated with it now, even if never played before.
It's this. My outlook email account has an Xbox name of ScenicMammal and random numbers even though it was only ever used for outlook.
RoadDogg and ScenicMammal are a sorta perfect match, though.
That's true, even if my outlook account has no ties to RoadDogg. Maybe I should have used that as my new name...
It's the Microsoft AI reading our minds. It suggested a name for my girlfriend's account and she loved it, never wants to change it. :lol
I have my console in energy saving mode, and the fact that I can quick resume my session of Dragon Age Inquisition from a cold boot still blows my mind. For AC Valhalla, quick resume only worked when I had it on instant on.

Cool, fix the audio static issue too please. After doing more research into it, it's existed as a problem for years on the S and One X as well, so my hopes for a fix are low.Microsoft commits to fix Xbox Series X controller disconnects in a future update

Yeah. Even though the pixel count is technically there, the game has always had noticeable aliasing on consoles.

Is it weird sub pixels or filtering?
I thought 4k would eliminate a lot of aliasing on its own.

That's good to know. I thought it was an issue with my battery at first, but it's the same across Energizer and official Microsoft rechargeable batteries.
I thought the same a few years back. 4K helps aliasing and shimmering in most cases but games still need a good AA solution.
Lack of hardware AA I think. It's probably why the One X version was even able to hit 4K at all.
Have you guys been getting wierd stutters in some games? Like dragon quest during an attack the game seems to drop lots of frames but only then. Its not very consistent too.
Jeez, my Xbox almost gave me an anxiety attack because it wasn't turning on. When I moved it the power cable came off, I guess it was loose and somehow got disconnected. This hasn't been a very pleasant day and my Xbox does this :p thankfully everything is going well now, I'm downloading No Man's Sky for the weekly challenge.
I bet you thought it was gonna instantly combust, didn't you?
:P

Controller just desync again in the middle of a match. Thankfully this time it reconnect after a minute.
That patch must come soon.

When did the controller disconnect/desync issue start? Was there a very recent controller firmware update that's triggered it? I've been heavily playing Valhalla lately and haven't had it come up, but I >have< had Xbox One controllers constantly disconnect and desync even with full batteries and it's not an experience I want to repeat. It happened for me right at the launch of the Xbox One S and I had to just fully exchange my One S entirely to fix it. It was extremely frustrating.
I really hope it doesn't start kicking in for me.

Just redownloaded (God, I love how much faster games download now. Less than 4 minutes!).
Yeah though. I made it to in-game and seems to be running fine for me.
