XB1X sound issues; alternating volume in sound effects and music.

Seesh · June 2019

I have noticed a very odd sound issue. I don't really know how to articulate it but it sounds like two different volumes alternating back and forth. It is extremely noticeable with headphones on. It is not my headphones or console settings either as I have done extensive troubleshooting. If you need to recreate this, there is a little waterfall you can listen to near where you first run into Cadwell in Elsweyr. I am using Plantronics Rig 800lx with Dolby Atmos turned on. I have turned Dolby Atmos off as well though and it still does this. My tv speakers reproduce it as well. It is very distracting to me and sort of ruins my experience. Thank you in advance for looking into this issue.

My Xbox started doing the same thing this morning. I just use my tv speakers. To me it sounds like the sound is rapidly cutting in and out. It effects music and in-game sound effects including dialogue. Very odd.

EDIT: I just did a hard system re-boot and re-started the game. It seems to have cleared up the problem, at least for now.

Thanks, I'll try that out. It didn't work for me at first but maybe I need to unplug it from the wall for a few minutes. That's a good way to describe it too, it sounds like it's cutting in and out constantly.

I had the same issue, I deleted saved game data and did a restart from the setting menu and it has fixed it for me.
