If your console is in the Insider Preview (Alpha or Alpha Skip ahead) try to disconnect all controllers and headsets, and only connect one controller and one headset.

There was an update for Alpha members addressing network connection issues back at the end of November. Hopefully the wide release is coming soon.

Hey there!

There currently is no known solution for this bug, at least troubleshooting wise. It's embedded in the coding and can only be fixed by official Xbox software engineers. I've come across a news article stating the issue is being fixed in the Xbox Insider
Preview update builds. It seems like they have found a solution, now we will just need to wait for it to be implemented in the next live system update.

What software are you referring to?

Here is the article I was referring to:

The statement is listed under "Fixes".

Are you on the Xbox Insider previews? If so, they are changing it for something else. Can't recall offhand but it's in the release notes from a couple weeks back.
