    Was that different to the way you did it the first time?

    This made a big difference for me.

    1. Go to settings

    2. Video and sound

    3. change optical audio to "bitstream out"

    4. Change to Dolby Digital

    Hope this helps.

    That only changes the output format of the optical port which I'm not using, it shouldn't impact the headset. I tried the setting change but the issue remains.

    Headset adapter cuts out during game-play

    I just bought the titanfall turtle beaches and I am having the same issue, i literally can't handle it. Like a throbbing in and out cutting of the audio. I haven't tried them in my phone yet, I plan on tonight to see if this was a software issue for sure,
    seems like the audio is not being sent to the controller fast enough. I hope they are working on a fix.

  9. I am having audio issues as well. I recently just went out and bought a new controller and I'm hoping it'll fix the audio drop outs and constant clicking sound I heard while using the chat adapter. I personally had bought the XO Sevens, but sold those because
    of the drop outs of audio and plus it didn't have mic mirroring like I thought it would have.

    My set up is basically the kinect is sitting on top of my tv and my xbox is inside my tv stand. I open the glass doors so I have a clear signal to the console. I'm only about 7 to 8 feet from the Xbox itself. I notice the clicking sounds happening all the
    time and sometimes the audio just drops out and sometimes my controller just disconnects as well. It's so annoying. I'm playing Wolfenstein at the moment, but it's done it with almost every game I've played. I use only the adapter and use my own set of headphones.
    It doesn't matter what type of headphones I use, it's always doing it. I need to try the getting closer to my xbox, but man.... I'm only 8 feet away. I'ts july and after this last update, it's still doing it. When will this be fixed? I want to play Destiny
    this September and I'll NEED to be playing on a headset. This is going to just send me through the roof if these issues keep happening.

    Things I've tried:

    I've turned off my phone (still does it)

    My wifi router is 8 feet away sitting on top of my fireplace... don't see how that's affecting it

    I've plugged in my controller using the USB cable (used to work, now it doesn't. Still clicks and drops sound)

    I'm running out of ideas here

    HELP!

  10. I have x12 and The problem I've been having is my friends hear a constant static and I do too but I can still hear them clearly. I think the audio adapter got one of its inner cords stripped or something. My problem is that it's not even a month old and
    the fact that they changed the system for the headsets. It's just dumb.
