    August Xbox One update has broken my Turtle Beach x42 transmitter.


    I just plugged my transmitter and optical cable into my XB1 turned the console on, the transmitter turned on then it turned off because I did not turn my headset on as well, the console did the latest August update and restarted, and then when everything
    was done I turned on my headset which usually turns on the transmitter as well, the transmitter would not light up, as if no power is going to it, I tired un plugging the usb and plugging It back in, turning my headset off and on again, restarted the console,
    and even tried to get It to work with my xbox 360 and still nothing happens, so now I have a headset with no in game audio, thanks microsoft. to get another transmitter I would have to buy the £100 headset again because nowhere sell the transmitter separately.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Please let me know and tell me if there Is a fix, or tips to get the transmitter to work again.

    :)

    Latest Update Killed TB x42 Transmitter

    After installing the latest update, my Turtle beach x42 transmitter is dead (does not turn on after being plugged in). I've heard of this problem before but have not experience it myself. Is there anything I can do or do I need to purchase a replacement?

    10.0.15063.2022, rs2_release_xbox_1704.170501-1052

    Go into your settings in your xbox, click the system icon and update your controller.

    I have the same issue after updating. The transmitter is not working anymore. (no power) not on my pc or xbox 360 either.

    How did you fix it?

    I think I bought another pair of x42s from the Turtle Beach's ebay store so I could have spare parts (http: // stores . ebay .co .uk/ Turtle-Beach-UK) take out the spaces, I could of sent it off to TB to get it repaired but I couldn't be bothered to wait
    so long. It says on the ebay store that the shop seller is currently away, and they don't seem to have hardly any stock. you can also buy the transmitter on the turtle beach website, It was out of stock when mine broke. Hope that helps.

    August Xbox One update has broken my Turtle Beach x42 transmitter.

    I've been through three XP400 transmitters that all died in exactly the same way, for no apparent reason, while connected to my One. Turtle Beach could not have been more helpful (transmitter was in warranty) and eventually offered me an upgrade to the XP510s.
    Excellent headphones. But.... Have had them a few weeks, flawless performance, go away for a few days and now the XP510 transmitter is also dead. While I was away, there was an update to the OS on the One? Coincidence?
