Does Xbox Series X support audio over USB bluetooth?

WackoDestroyer · Nov 21, 2020

I have a PS5 3D Pulse Headset I just bought and it works fine on PC and PS5 and it seemingly beeps when plugged into my Series x indicating a connection to the wireless usb dongle plugged into the console however there is no audio and the series x does
not say its there. I have to use the 3.5mm cable but this is not optimal. Does the new xbox not support audio over usb such as this?

the beep means the dongle got power, thats it, it will not be compatible.

for audio to work with a xbox controller on pc it has to be wired, the controller does not support audio over bluetooth. thats why i purchased a usb headset as its a pain.

the controller does not support audio over bluetooth, you have to connect the controller to the laptop with a usb cable for it to work.

There are multiple articles stating audio compatibility via USB. If optical is necessary, there are various HDMI to optical devices available which you may need to add.

"Some gaming headsets that utilize an optical cable may require a firmware update to support game and chat audio over USB on Xbox Series X. Soundbars and headsets that do not receive updates may be connected
directly to your televisions optical port."

the Xbox does not even have Bluetooth built into the system, besides you get lots of audio latency via Bluetooth audio which is horrid, and my ps4 never sounded right over Bluetooth.

most screens you connect the Xbox too have an audio jack and most likely a usb port for power, just attach the speaker to the screen.
