Please help with series x mic audio cutting out after matchmaking in game

XBOX Series X, newest patch....sound cuts out minutes after loading. Restart the game and it works for about 2 minutes then cuts out again. It is only the Marvel Avengers game and it is new after the Tachyon rift patch.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in mic on the Xbox Series X and no bluetooth support if you're thinking to go that route.



You will need to attach a headset with a mic to the Xbox Series X controller. The Xbox Series X controller uses a standard 2.5mm audio connection for Xbox Live, you can use any standard headset. (It does not have to be something fancy or expensive.)



I hope this helps. Merry Christmas to all!

I think that sounds like a slightly different issue. I don't get any chat audio at all once a mic cable is plugged in. I've tried a few mic cables and the problem is totally consistent. I'm waiting to test out whether I've got a defective unit here but am
having to wait due to the stock shortages. My gut feeling is that this is actually a software issue. The fact that chat audio plays through the headset before a mic is plugged in, then cuts out as soon as the mic is plugged in means that the adaptor is detecting
the mic and then incorrectly cutting out the chat audio.

I can also confirm that all audio cuts out after a few minutes of gameplay on an Xbox Series X after the latest 1.6.0 game update. Users on Reddit are reporting the same thing. They have found a temporary workaround. If you change your audio for both your speakers and your headset to stereo uncompressed then the game audio will not cut out. Another workaround, that I did not personally care for, is supposedly to drop the volume level of “sound effects“ in the games settings to 0. This allows you to hear voice actors and music, but all fighting-type sounds disappears.

There seems to be some sort of glitch related to the other surround sound type modes that cuts all game audio out after a few minutes of playing. Note that no other audio is affected when this occurs, such as operating system sounds and other game audio.

I have an Xbox series X and I was set for “7.1 Uncompressed” audio and ever since the latest patch, the audio would stop after a few minutes rendering the game completely silent until you force quit the game and reboot it. However, that would only be good for a few minutes until it would happen again. After I set my audio to “stereo uncompressed“, I was able to play for a couple hours straight with no interruption at all in audio. This is my preferred workaround for now, but it sure would be nice if this game can be fixed so that I can have my surroundsound back.

I wanted to add one more thing. I do recall that this did happen (with the audio disappearing) occasionally before this patch, but it seemed like it only happened once or twice to me over the past couple weeks of me playing the game. Immediately after this patch though, it would happen after a few minutes of gameplay consistently.

UPDATE: Although someone marked my comment as an “answer“, it really is just a workaround. No one wants to be forced to turn off surround sound on their Xbox Series X/S just for one game. I have a great home theater system and really would rather have the benefit of surround sound on it. I am hoping that Microsoft and the developer can come up with a fix soon.

First my audio cut out and I could not hear anything on the main screen or in games. I changed the hdmi port and the sound worked momentarily but cut out again. It seems to only affect certain games. I have a samsung tv, Q60 series QLED.
