Speaking with other players in Fortnite and Audio settings

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with the sounds of your game Fortnite.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please check Fortnite Audio Settings. Open Fortnite and go to Settings > Audio.

Make srue all volume settings (Master Volume, Music, Sound Effects, etc.) are turned up. Verify that the correct audio output device is selected.

And then disable sound visualization. In Fortnite's audio settings, disable the "Sound Visualization" option, as it can sometimes interfere with audio output.

Next is to update Xbox firmware. Kindly make sure that your Xbox Series S is running the latest system update. Go to Settings > System > Updates to check for updates.

Then check audio output settings. On your Xbox, go to Settings > General > Volume & Audio Output.Please ensure that the correct audio format is selected for your headset or speakers.

If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly uninstall and reinstall Fortnite to delete the corrupted files from the game.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello, my name is Tadeu, I am an Independent Consultant and a member of the Microsoft Xbox community, just like you.

I apologize for the issue you are experiencing.

I am here to help.

I hope everything is going well and thank you for contacting me.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this issue with Fortnite on your TV.

No sound in Fortnite after a matchmaking error could be due to a change in your audio output settings or a temporary glitch. To fix this, try checking your audio output device in Fortnite's settings, restarting the game, or checking your console or PC's audio settings. If the issue persists, restarting your router and the game may help, as server-related issues could be causing the issue.

1 Check Fortnite's audio settings.

Open Fortnite and go to Settings.

Navigate to the Audio tab.

Make sure the Audio Output Device is set to the desired output, e.g. TV speakers, headphones.

If you see multiple options, try the one that doesn't say "Standard Output".

2. Restart the game and the launcher.

Close Fortnite and the Epic Games Launcher completely.

Restart the launcher and Fortnite.

3. Restart your router.

If you suspect a network problem, restart your modem or router.

This may resolve temporary connection issues.

Please note that this is a public forum only. I will respond as soon as possible, and apologize in advance for any delay in responding. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others. I am not a Microsoft employee.

Best regards Tadeu

Most of the competitive games COD Fortnite etc have a matchmaking system that pairs you with other controller or mouse and key board players when available to balance to field as some pc players favour controllers. I cant speak for how well the system
works however

1. Sign out Fortnite, then sign back in.
2. Install the latest Fortnite patch.
3. Update your sound card driver.
4. Make sure your microphone is on for Fortnite.
5. Check your audio settings.
6. Reinstall Fortnite
7. .
8. 
   
9. 
   

Check the Fortnite audio settings. If headset works with everything else, the issue is related to the game.
