Disc drive activating more frequently when it shouldn’t

Check around the surface that the Xbox console is placed on. Loose objects nearby might audibly vibrate when the Xbox disc drive is spinning, if that’s what’s causing the noise.

During active installations with discs, the drive would spin at the maximum noisiest speed, which is normal. When a disc is used to actually play a game, it is generally quiet.

The disc drive makes considerably more noise when installing a disc to hard drive,however it would be very quiet when that process has finished,hope that helps.

I invested in a 500$ Xbox that is supposed to do all that. I shouldn’t have to buy a standalone player when my Xbox is being advertised as such. if I didn’t want a disc drive I would of gotten a digital only console. And it only plays certain Xbox one games and older ones as well which Is bs. It wouldn’t load street fighter anniversary But it loaded doom it wouldn’t load resident evil 2 but it loaded battlefield 2 lol. All of my discs are pristine the series x disc drive has just been bricked by Microsoft to force people to digital

The forum is quite active except it tends to be geared more towards support than discussion. This isn’t to say there shouldn’t be regular discussion threads as there absolutely should be. Sometimes it’ll just take a little longer to get replies.

In my experience the game will freeze semi-frequently in Act III. There's nothing to be done about it.

Installing the disc to the hard drive seemed to help it occur less often. Good luck.
