    2 controllers popping up when only 1 is connected


    Hello, I bought my Xbox series s 6 months ago. When I go to play some games like madden or mlb the show 23 it says I have 2 controllers connected when I only have one. In mlb the show I sometimes can’t move the pci (plate coverage indicator) and it is very annoying. Is there any way to fix this?

    :)

    2 controllers popping up when only 1 is connected

    Hi, I'm Luis a Xbox user just like you. Thanks for reaching out us here.

    Is your profile the only one that is signed in? Sometimes there can be 2 profiles logged in at the same time which can cause troubles like these.

    If not, let's Power cycle your console

    Power Cycle:
    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.
    2.Unplug your console
    3. Wait for 5 minutes then plug and turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

    Only Xbox Home button working

    This happened to one of my controllers after the February controller update. Only home button works if connected via wireless, when I hold the home button the only option that pops up is to turn off console, as if the controller is not even connected. When
    I connect via USB everything works fine.

    I want to control volume on my XBox One remote control. My Soundbar (Bose) is connected by HDMI to my TV Sharp. What setting do I need to choose?

    Thank you Anderson.

    I have confirmed that my Xbox One is connected thru via HDMI (#3).

    My Bose Sound Bar is connected thru HDMI (#1)

    I also have an Amazon Fire stick connected via HDMI (#4). the remote control for that device works perfectly.

    My Tv is using Aquos Link

    When I use the volume control on my Xbox remote, this message pops up.

    "Set up device control to adjust Tv Audio"
