Crackling/audio clipping in games

Chacepoint · Aug 30, 2014

I have this weird problem in most games I own where their is a slight crackling or popping sound. It only happens sometimes and sometimes in the dashboard and not in movies. So they games I own where I gave this problem are Fifa 14, forza 15, tomb raider,
madden 25, pinball 2. I am not thinking it's the xbox but rather the games As its not happening on everything. I San just worried because no one else has reported it.

Xbox Headset Adapter - crackling / clipping in audio

Hi all- I am having the same issue. The only thing I can tie it to is the latest console update because that is roughly when this started. Below is a synopsis of what is occurring and the remedies I have tried thus far.

Headset: Turtle Beach Xo Seven

Issue(s): Sound started to clip- crack and pop, others in my party could hear it. Many times my mic is not being picked up. Other times it will clip a few times and then the sound will disconnect entirely, others the sound will continue but the mic will
die and not come back on.

Remedies I have tried--

I have two controllers, both are updated- problem occurs on either controller.

I now have 3x headset adapters, 2x of them are brand new out of the box

my console is updated with the latest patch.

I have stopped using rechargeable batteries and went to high performance duracells

I switched to new cables on my XO sevens- no luck

I switched to another headset into one of the new adapters with brand new batteries and am still experiencing issues.

If anyone has any idea or remedy that might try I would appreciate hearing from you. But after doing everything I know to do with two controllers, three adapters, new batteries, and a different headset- i feel like something has changed in my xbox... anyone
else?

Xbox Headset Adapter - crackling / clipping in audio

Hm, my issue isn't with it dying, just audio cracks and pops here and there. It'll cut out for a split second, a comparison would maybe be cd player skipping.

I have witnessed this problem and what I did to fix it was I unplugged my xbox one console for about 10 minutes and then tightened my HDMI cable. I hope your problem gets solved sir and have a good day.

Hello when I first got my launch Xbox One in 2013 I noticed that I'd get random pops and crackles through the audio when playing games.

It is most noticeable when editing video clips you have and when you save the clip the audio chime makes a nasty crackle when the clip is saved.

Anyway a replacement Xbox later and a few updates on the audio glitch seems to have gone. Until now. There is once again random pops and crackles when playing games. Not enough to ruin the experience, but it is there and can be distracting.

Any advice as to how to trouble shoot this? I have tried many different sound options in settings and done hard resets but t no avail.

Goto settings goto video and sound. Goto Godeo fidelity and overscan. Choose 30 bits per pixel (10bit). It solved my issues

One "fix" I found it "works" is chaging the out output to mono. It stops the crackling sounds, but the audio quality is compromised.

i dont know if this is still going but i just ran into this problem with my headset and i changed hdmi audio to "stereo uncompressed" same with headset format audio and now it is crystal clear!

This solved the problem for me too.

It seems like Windows Sonic (at least for Headphones) has a bug that causes popping/crackling sounds, which are way more obvious when playing backwards compatible games.

In my case Kameo was annoying me with pops and crackles, almost like the audio is being clipped. Turning off Windows Sonic and swapping to Stereo Uncompressed solved the problem.

If we could set the audio on a game by game, or even platform by platform (360/One/X) basis then it would help. It's not convenient having to turn it on and off when switching between games.

hope this help
