Choppy audio in headset (both wired and wireless)

Yesterday (12/1/2021), I experienced extremely choppy audio in Warzone. Thinking this may be a wireless issue, I unplugged the XBox Wireless Adapter and used the USB-C port for audio (USB-C to USB-C). Guess what? I still had choppy audio on the Xbox Wireless headset! I switched to an older 3.5 mm headphone, and the audio was fine.

I think switching to a wired headset is a good idea at this point, as the Scruffy Fuzzy said above.

Same issue here. I've scoured Reddit and other forums and haven't seen a fix yet. The headset works fine on Bluetooth and when connected via USB-C, but while using the official Xbox Wireless Adapter (the slim one), I get garbled and choppy audio in both games and general Windows audio such as Zoom meetings.

I'm using the headset on Windows 10 with headset firmware v.0.0.9.24 as of 11/15/2021.

Is it a wired or wireless headset?

If wired, try making sure the audio port on the controller is clean as well.

Update: a workaround has been confirmed...

1. If using a wireless headset like I am most often doing, use a male-to-male microphone (aux) cable from the controller to either audio in on your computer OR to audio in on the capture device. Note: I have confirmed that both my Xbox wireless headset AND a wired headset simultaneously plugged into my controller both receive the same audio.

2. If using a wired headset, purchase an Elgato Chat Link cable (or equivalent Y-cables, etc) to achieve the same result as above, where the audio from the controller is split.

Ultimately, since game chat audio cannot currently be configured like Party Chat audio and it can only be sent by the console to the controller/headset, the audio needs to be captured from there.

Would prefer not to have a cord coming off my controller, but this is the only solution I've found so far!

I used wired when I play PC for both Controller and headset. On xbox, I use a wireless controller, but a wired headset.
