    Controller / Headphones Disconnect and requires hard reset on Series X


    I have a recurring issue with my Xbox Series X where the controller (and steelseries headphones, if connected) will disconnect and cannot be re-paired with the Xbox without a hard reboot of the Xbox. This happens at least once every 2-3 days if not more. In my case this happens with the following controllers: Series X Pack-in; Elite Series 1; Elite Series 2 (I have two of these, and it happens with both). Searches across multiple sites suggest this is not an isolated issue. Anyone have any luck addressing this? This needs a fix asap given that, if you are in the middle of progression that requires a save, you have no options to save your game before requiring a hard reboot of the xbox (sleeping the xbox does not fix the problem - only a full restart).

    :)

    Xbox Series X syncing issue!

    I also have this issue with an elite series 1 controller. When it happens though the original series x controller will not pair either until a hard reset.

    Vanguard Controller issue ...

    Connecting the controller with a USB cable doesn't work,

    Controller still disconnects even with a USB cable connected,

    I have the same issue with Series X using mouse and keyboard for Call of Duty Vanguard.

    I played during the beta and there was no problems with the controller disconnecting but as soon as the game released, the controller disconnects,

    I've tried a Xbox One controller Series X controller, with batteries and a USB cable, and the controllers still disconnects.

    Controller sent for replacement, no reply..

    Geri, I'm not sure if you still are receiving this thread but I did get my replacement Xbox controller today and I hooked it up to my series X and everything worked fine except that there is no sound coming through my wired headphones. These are Arctis Prime Steel Series wired headphones that worked fine with all my other controllers and just recently with my Xbox series X controller but when I connected to the Elite control they sent me it does there's no sound coming through. I cleaned the port a harder rebooted my Xbox Series X I updated the firmware and still no results.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    How to use Xbox Elite Series 2 audio jack while wirelessly connected to Win 10 PC?

    Hi,

    The 3.5mm headphone jack on Xbox One/Series X|S controllers (including Elite controllers) does not work when connected via Bluetooth. It will only work via USB or the official Xbox wireless adaptor.
