audio stuttering via headphones on apps

Are you playing on a Xbox console?

If so, go to the audio settings in the console settings and set up the console audio to output game audio via headset.

In the headphone settings you can also set up spatial 3D audio, by turning the audio output for headphones to Windows Sonic, or if you have purchased the Atmos App (the free app only works 14 days with headphones), you can also set Dolby Atmos for headphones.

If you are on the PC, you need to make the headphone your device for audio output (not only voice communications).

Click on the speaker icon in the lower right, and choose the output channel for the headphone. Depending on your soundcard or USB headset, you need to select the proper audio output.

they are the same as the standard xbox one s controllers, so with pc you can use via bluetooth(audio through headphone jack not supported)

or wired(supports audio via headphone jack)

Can you go to the console settings and under Video and Audio settings, check that game sound is also sent to the headphones, and not just TV.

You can then choose to have the sound in Stereo, Spatial 3D sound via Windows Sonic, and if you bought the Dolby Atmos App, also Dolby Atmos for Headphones.

There is also the option to connect your headphones via Bluetooth.

I hope this answers your question.

I have the Elite controller, and you can NOT connect your headphones via Bluetooth.

Also, the Elite controller has the same 3.5mm audio jack as the other controllers. As the sound is transmitted to the controller digitally, and then turned into an analogue signal, you won't hear a difference.

You'll get the most audio improvements by choosing "Windows Sonic" as an audio format for your headphones, or if you're willing to pay money for the Dolby Atmos for Headphones app, you can also activate Dolby Atmos for your headphones.

But the overall sound quality is mostly dependent on the speakers built into your headphones than the actual audio jack in the controller.

Also to "defend" the headphone jack:

I use a Plantronics RIG 400HX headset. It has a volume slider and mute switch in it's cable, so you can adjust the volume and mute the microphone with the flick of a switch.

And since Plantronics is known for making professional headsets that are used in callcenters and other professional environments, the Plantronics headset is also comfortable to wear for extended periods.

Hi. My PC, 360 and X1 all go into a Sony HT-FS3 via HDMI which produces the sound and passes the video feed via HDMI to my monitor. There is no headphone jack on the HT-FS3 or audio out other than via HDMI. To get my 360 to my headphones I used an audio
adapter cable as well as an HDMI cable but there's no port for that on the X1. Thanks.
