Audio crackling and cutting out with both xbox wireless headset and earbuds plugged into...

generally earbuds will only have party audio since that can be picked up from the controller connection. I havent seen a pair of earbuds (maybe the turtlebeach battlebuds but unsure) play game audio, i think for that you either need a bluetooth wireless
gaming headset or a headset made for xbox to pick up game audio

Hi Leo Ascendent,



We hope you are doing well today. Welcome to the Xbox Community.

Thank you for reaching out to Xbox Forums. We understand that many users are attempting to broadcast their party chat audio via their Twitch broadcast.

We have this CHAT, AUDIO, BROADCAST ISSUES resolution: Kindly check if this would be applicable to your concern.

In order to broadcast party chat audio, you will need to enable this feature in the Guide when broadcasting via Twitch. Once enabled, each participant in the party will then have the option to opt-in to their audio being broadcast. The additional party members will need to be on an Xbox console or using party chat via Gamebar on PC. There is currently no option for users on the Xbox mobile app to allow their party chat audio to be broadcasted.



I have also included links to recent updates using the Twitch app on Xbox. Please take a look for further details



Xbox Broadcasting: With the latest Microsoft Xbox update, streamers will no longer need the Twitch App on Xbox to broadcast and can instead go live in less time by broadcasting directly from their Xbox console. This update started rolling out November 16th and will be available to all streamers by the end of 2022.



How to live stream on Xbox: To stream from a live streaming provider on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, download the app for the provider you want to use. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide and select Store > Apps. Find and select the app, and then select Install.



If you are still experiencing issues after using the supported platforms, please let us know and we can continue to investigate the issue.

We will be glad to follow up and help you.

Sincerely,

Because you are having problems with both the headset and earbuds, it could be your controller. However, check the audio mixer settings on the Xbox. With the headset plugged into your controller, from the home menu go to the system tab. You should see
a selection for audio. Open the audio controls and check to make sure the mixer is not set for chat only, eliminating game sounds. Adjust the settings and see if you start hearing sounds.

I’ve used the same earbuds for 3 years and never had an issue until March of this year randomly and when my audio and controller cuts out I usually just unplug the headset and listen to audio through my tv however my controller will still shut off or disconnect
