Audio popping when going home from game.

What you need to do (this has happened to me multiple times where the mic lights up but the audio comes out of the tv and the party cant hear me) is hit your home button and go up to the top left of the screen where it shows who is signed in. Click on that
and when your profile pops up click on "choose this person" and that should pop the audio into your headset and the mic should work.

I have been having a similar problem with audio pops and crackles.

When I have my Xbox One connected to my TV with an HDMI cable and my surround sound receiver plugged into my TVs optical out port the audio pops and crackles (only from the Xbox One, not from any other audio source going into my TV and out to the receiver.)
Yet if I plug my receiver directly into the Xbox's optical port the audio plays normally with no distortion whatsoever. I even tried replacing the HDMI cord but got no results that had no popping or crackling in the audio. Hence leading me to believe that
the HDMI port on the Xbox one is having trouble sending audio to the TV through its HDMI cord as I even tested each of my 4 HDMI in ports on my gaming TV and my living room TV that achieved the same exact popping and crackling audio issues.

I concur with the previous posts, audio randomly mutes for games but not for Xbox home screen. I have observed Sky Landers Trap Team audio cease on several occasions; however when I go the the Xbox home screen I can hear audio as I move between selections.
The only way to start game audio again was to eject the disk, reinsert and start the game again.

Go into your options when it's happens. Hit start and go to the audio. Change it from Hi-fi or whatever you have it on to just one over and it should pop back in. Change it back to the one you want and continue with your game. It's happened to me a couple
times before.

Go home from work, eat with the family, wait in line with a coke, go home set up my new Gears console, pop in GoW 3 and pop open a few beers.
