Audio stuttering when streaming to twitch?

Artemis878 · Jun 3, 2023

Since late February/mid-March I have noticed most if not all of my twitch VODs contain audio stuttering of both game and mic audio when rewatching. This stuttering occurs randomly throughout the stream with no apparent cause and can last for 10 seconds or the entire stream itself. It sounds awful and is completely ruining my gameplay!

The only fix I’m currently aware of is unplugging then plugging in my headset back into my controller but this is only temporary and very intermittent. It also requires me to constantly be checking my audio live, which is especially difficult mid-game. I’ve tried numerous headsets but all provide the same issue. I’ve replaced HDMI cables, tried Ethernet and wireless connections, tried new controllers, updates and many other suggestions all to no avail.

A lot of Xbox console streamers are also experiencing this issue. I was wondering if there is any sort of fix being considered for the next monthly update which will hopefully be released in June? It’s such a small issue but it is causing massive problems for my twitch streaming!

Hi there! Sorry to hear about what happened.

It looks like you've mostly tried all the workarounds in trying to fix the issue. The last resort I could think of is to perform a factory reset to refresh your console system. There's an option to keep your games and apps.

If it seems to be a bug, I recommend that you report it or file a bug to Team Xbox via Report a problem app for them to properly investigate the issue. Check your guide here https://support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/m....

If you are live streaming on Twitch you must use the twitch settings. When you stream on Twitch in a party everyone in that party must “include audio” for it to be heard on stream.

when i stream on twitch the option to include audio isn’t there.

Update on possible resolution of the issue. I'm a Kinect owner and have it on for the various voice commands except I don't use it as a mic when I'm playing online. I ended up watching a video that recommended turning off the Kinect sensor completely from
the settings options in order to stream to Twitch and not have the audio stuttering issues. Streamed for a good half hour now and it seems to have resolved the issue for now. Will report back if something changes.

Thank you for your assistance.

We solved half of my problems. My audio is now streaming to twitch. However, game chat is not. Last week on I was able to stream my mics audio AND my IN GAME chat audio to twitch directly from my Xbox series S, meaning my PC and Playstation party mates audio was making it into my stream.

That is not happening now. Slightly less frustrating but still quite.
