this audio system is not really right way do it

Hello bricelecart,

You play on your Xbox One? if so, do this :

Guide Button - System - Audio - Headset Chat Mixer

All the way to the left to only hear game audio, all the way to the right to only hear party audio. The middle notches are to mix it, so you can get a good game/party ratio that suits you.

I would suggest you first plug your Xbox into another device, as since the audio signal is digital, there is really no way it should be higher pitched. So the first place I would look is on your TV or audio system

Hi Spa4ce,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. When you go to the system tab do you have audio there? If so go to headset chat mixer make sure it isn't set all the way to the right. This will not allow game sounds in the headset.

Thanks,

Brad

You can buy HDMI ARC converter boxes on Amazon that will enable HDMI-ARC on old sound systems, they are essentially dummy sound systems that pose as an ARC receiver then pass the audio to the sound system plugged in at the other end.

Be aware that HDMI-ARC is no different from optical, it only supports PCM 2.0 (stereo) Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1, thats all you get. If you desire HD audio formats or PCM 7.1 you need a 4K/HDR compatible sound system.

Dolby Atmos is buggy on Xbox because of the way the Xbox audio engine works, MS have an audio upmixer that merges the system UI sounds with audio streams but this does not play well when bitstreaming Atmos. Which on a technical level is handing off the audio
from Xbox to the sound system to decode so you can see why their upmixer causes all sorts of problems. There really should be a toggle in the audio settings to disable the upmixer (thereby muting system audio) when using Atmos or bitstreaming Blu-ray/Movie/TV
audio in general.

Atmos is not designed for gaming in short.

It appears that the logic board responsible for HDMI audio is going on your system. Unfortunately there's nothing you can really do at this point. Your Xbox seems to be dying. You could, try using the other audio option on your console, but there's no guarantee
that will work.
