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.

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.

Hi

This was something that happened to console in the Alpha Skip ahead tier of the Xbox Insider and was required to fix an operating system fault.
