    Audio playing on TV when headset is on (happened after latest update)


    Before the last update, I was able to play audio VIA my headset and my TV would not play audio. After the update, this is no longer possible.

    XBox (series x) does recognize that I am on a headset and it greys out the Speaker Audio section of the settings but the audio still plays on the TV (also in the headset just fine).

    While I understand this is not a big deal, this is pretty annoying and I hope it can be fixed. As most systems PS4/5, PCs, and Macs can do this, it seems like an issue that should be addressed. Most TVs have a mute icon and turning down my TV volume every time is not ideal, as I never adjust my TV volume anyways this is just an inconvenience.

    No audio after startup

    I finally resolved the issue when I had my TV download the latest system software update. After the download, my Xbox had working audio over the TV when I powered it back on.

    My xbox series x audio is cutting out

    Hey Connor! Have you checked if this problem also happens when playing audio through different devices such as TV speakers or a wired headset?

    Update: is it possible that it is my game disc that makes it happen, even if the audio cuts only through my headset, and not through my TV ?

    Interesting, and is this same thing happening when you're hearing the audio from the TV's speakers? Or is it just when you're using the headset. Which headsets are you using as well?

    Turtle Beach X12 No Audio on TV

    Here is another post that I wrote up earlier but didn't post:

    Ok, I'm a little confused. Just to be sure, what is not working when:

    1. Does the game audio work when the Xbox is directly connected to the TV?

    2. Does the game audio work when the Xbox is only connected to the Headset?

    3. Does the game audio work through the headset when the Xbox is connected to both the TV and Headset?

    4. Does the game audio work through the TV when the Xbox is connected to both the TV and headset?

    Note, the headset contains two different audio channels, when connected to the controller, you are receieving the Chat channel, when connected to the Xbox you are receiving the Game audio (the same that would go through the TV). The settings on the Xbox are
    for Chat audio only. That should be set to headset only for when using the headset, this will cause game audio to play through both the TV and Headset while Chat audio through the headset only, if set to both game audio remains the same but Chat audio will
    play through both, and of course of set to speakers then game audio will still play through both but chat audio will play only through the TV. Ideally, this should be set to headset only especially when using the X12.

    As for the issues with sound, if it is your TV not producing the sound, check the settings on the TV. Make sure the connections are appropriate. You said you are using Composite, that means the standard Yellow video cable should be connected and the Red and
    White audio cables need to be connected to the corresponding audio for that Video cable. Some TVs, such as my family's still strong Tube TV have 3 auxiliary sources all of which use the Composite Yellow Video cable. Make sure, if you have multiple inputs for
    video, that the audio cables are connected to the correct coresponding source. For example, your TV may have Video 1 and Video 2 but if the video is connected to Video 1 and the audio to Video 2, then you will receive only Video when on Video 1 and only Audio
    when on Video 2.

    I'm sorry if any of this is redundant or obvious for you but the first part of this message (the 4 questions above) will better help me in assisting you further. Otherwise I'm slightly confused as to what your second post is saying. As a note, when I say game
    audio, test out a game to be sure. Check to make sure volume is on on devices as well.
