    Series X - Controller/Headphone Bluetooth Issues


    I have been seeing weird (annoying) behavior with my controller and headset on the Series X.

    Devices: - Elite Series 2 - SteelSeries X9

    How the issue presents:

    Issue #1:

    Both devices would be connected Period of inactivity passes I may turn off my headphones manually and leave the controller to turn off on its own Inactivity screen on the console takes over - When I come back and turn the controller on, is does not register and button presses - Turn it off then back on.... Same result... - Turn off the controller - Turn on the headset - Turn on the controller - Starts working again

    Issue #2: - Turn off console - Comes back on by it's self after a few seconds - Controller unable to re-establish connection without a hard reboot of the console.

    Has anyone seen anything like this. It really is getting frustrating

    How to use Xbox Elite Series 2 audio jack while wirelessly connected to Win 10 PC?

    Hi,

    The 3.5mm headphone jack on Xbox One/Series X|S controllers (including Elite controllers) does not work when connected via Bluetooth. It will only work via USB or the official Xbox wireless adaptor.

    Xbox One Wireless Controller

    Hi,

    You can use a standard Bluetooth adaptor. The Microsoft wireless adaptor for Xbox One/Series X|S controllers doesn't use Bluetooth.

    If you want standard connectivity then you can use a BT USB dongle (or built in BT if your device has this). The Microsoft adaptor offers more features such as the use of more than one controller, and the usage of your controller's headphone socket while wireless.

    Why can't I pair up Bluetooth wireless earbuds with my console?

    it uses wifi that the xbox has a receiver and sender for, similar to the microsoft pc wireless adapter but obviously built into the console.

    no bluetooth at all. there is not a single bluetooth chip in the console, the modern xbox controller connect via wifi to the console or bluetooth to phones and pc if not using the adapter for pc. only the controller has bluetooth and this is basic at best.

    Does the Xbox Series X or Series S support Bluetooth? | Windows Central

    No Bluetooth for Xbox Series X

    The Xbox Series X doesn't have Bluetooth, similarly to the Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X. The reason is simple; the Bluetooth signal isn't strong enough to meet Microsoft's specifications for latency. Microsoft uses its proprietary signal, dubbed Xbox Wireless, for connecting controllers and other accessories, like the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and the SteelSeries 9X wireless headsets.

    Microsoft's signal is far stronger than Bluetooth. Since many people typically game while sitting far away from their consoles in the living room or so on, Bluetooth's susceptibility to interference increases exponentially at longer ranges. If you were hoping you could use a USB Bluetooth adapter, it wouldn't work either, as the Xbox Series X and other Xbox One consoles don't have the drivers necessary to power them.

    Xbox One Controller keeps rapidly connecting and disconnecting on windows 11

    i just had the same (or very similar) issue with an series x/s controller, what fixed it for me was to forget the controller from my paired bluetooth devices and re-pair it.

    hope this helps
