I’ve used the same earbuds for 3 years and never had an issue until March of this year randomly and when my audio and controller cuts out I usually just unplug the headset and listen to audio through my tv however my controller will still shut off or disconnect

Occasionally I'll loose audio with this game too. I'll finish a match and the audio will just cut out. Very Strange. Some times it even knocks out my whole systems audio thought the stero headset. This has happened when the controller disconnects randomly
while playing game.

For some reason my Xbox keeps disconnecting from xbox live an controller keeps losing sync don't know what to do please help it does it randomly how to fix ?

I'd like to add a "me too" to this thread. I got the official XBox wireless headset recently and, while I love it, I have been hitting the audio cutout and controller disconnection issues reported by others (despite having updated my firmware to the latest
and greatest).

In my case, I'm around 8 feet from my console and find that audio cuts out relatively frequently (every few minutes) but I've also started seeing the controller completely disconnect (last night in 45 minutes of Titanfall, it disconnected twice).

Prior to using the headset I would very occasionally get a controller disconnect, but I think this was down to Kinect no longer seeing my controller (as it disappeared behind the cat, on my lap!). However, recently there are no felines involved in my controller
disconnections or audio dropouts!

I can certainly try sitting nearer the system, but this is obviously not a good solution - as others have said, I never had any problems with range on the 360.
