Netflix on Xbox series x

jaybovey · Nov 29, 2021

I have been having popping and cracking sounds coming from my Netflix app on my Xbox only when streaming. Prime video, Hulu, HBO Max all are just fine. It is just the Netflix app. Does anybody else have this issue? Now that I think about it, the same thing was happening on my Apple TV when the primary audio was selected in the settings for Dolby Atmos. I was hoping somebody can look into this since Netflix has a lot of Dolby Atmos content. Has anybody else had issues like this? I did see a post from about a year ago with a similar situation. This seems like it would be an easy fix for Netflix. But I could be wrong.

That'd be a waste. There are much cheaper options for getting Netflix Atmos as a stop gap until Series X arrives.

I did a quick search on this issue and saw that it's been going on for a while now. Although there isn't a permanent fix, I found this thread with some suggestions of things you could try to reduce the cracking sounds https://www.reddit.com/r/hometheater/comments/f...

Hope this helps

I'm gonna stick with my 4k for the moment but will update just pricing it's too big expensive bits of kit, how much stuff is gonna be at 8k by then? Netflix etc
if its only a few games I think I will wait get my x series then go from there

I very much doubt that we are going to be gaming at 8K on Xbox Series X, unless the Xbox Series X has the power and performance of at least two RTX 2080 Ti's ( which are around £1000 each ),

8K games / gaming is more likely to be the next generation after Xbox Series X.

I have the problem that Netflix Dolby Atmos is not working with the x box S, if I try to play a series with Dolby Atmos, then Netflix give the text:

This title can not play try later?

Configuration is ok at the x box s and all other content without Dolby Atmos will play correct.

If someone have a solution?

I think Dolby Vision only works for Netflix. I wouldn't expect that to be a feature for discs on current gen as I think all of their focus is on Series X.
