Known Issues

While known issues may have been listed in previous Xbox Insider Release Notes, they are not being ignored! However, it may take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution. If you experience any of these issues, we ask that you please follow any guidance provided and file feedback with Report a Problem.

Audio

• Some users have reported experiencing intermittent audio issues across the dashboard, games, and apps.
  • Troubleshooting: If you do experience issues, please confirm your TV and all other equipment have the latest firmware installed. If you are unsure, you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance. You can also find additional troubleshooting tips here: Troubleshoot audio on your Xbox console.
  • Feedback: If you continue to experience issues after applying the latest firmware and troubleshooting further, please submit feedback via Report a Problem when you are experiencing the issue. Use the “Reproduce with advanced diagnostics” option, then select the category “Console experiences” and “Console Audio Output Issues”.
    • Note: Be sure to include as much information as possible about the issue, when it started, your setup, troubleshooting you have completed, and any additional information that will help us reproduce the issue.

Controllers

• We are aware the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 paddles are remaining active when there is no active profile, and we are working on a fix.
  • Workaround: Temporarily, you can create a new profile in the Xbox Accessories app with the paddles unmapped, then assign it to a profile slot to use. Alternatively, detaching the paddles when not in use may be an option.
• We are investigating an issue impacting 3.5mm joysticks used with the Xbox Adaptive Controller.

Networking

• We are investigating reports of an issue where the console may not connect to the network immediately on boot. If you experience this, be sure to report the issue via Report a Problem as soon as you’re able.
  • Workaround: Wait a minute or two for the connection to establish. If your console still hasn’t connected, restart your Xbox from the Power Center or the guide then file feedback with Report a Problem. Learn more about restarting here: How to restart or power cycle your Xbox console.

Parties & Chats

• We are aware some users are experiencing issues with party chat and hearing one another, and we are working on a fix.
  • Workaround: Press the Xbox button to open the guide, then navigate to Parties & chats > open the party > Options > then toggle Switch to game chat on and off a couple times.
    • If you are still having trouble, leave the party, and try starting the party from Home before launching a game.
    • If the issue persists, restart your console from the Power Center or the guide then try again.
