Twitch stream headset mic crackling

Harley Croft · May 27, 2023

I've attempted to stream on Twitch directly from my XBox Series S, and my headset mic is crackling. Is there a way to fix this without having to reset the console?

It's weird that when I stream without headset, the gameplay audio is perfectly fine.

Any help will be appreciated.

For us to further isolate the issue, it would be best if you try it on party chat or game chat if the issue still persists not just on streaming via Twitch. Also, try changing your headset format as instructed above.

Headset audio did crackle. And no I did not use party chat

The resolution and bitrate I chosen is 480p 1000kbps

I don't have a different headset, and I get annoyed with stuff easily.

Just an update, I contacted the manufacturer support for assistance and they stayed it's to do with the Twitch live streaming intergration for XBox. I highly suggest your company needs to fix the Twitch live streaming integration for XBox Series S|X because it had nothing to do with the headset, console, or whatever.

I see. You may instead try to contact the manufacturer support for further assistance.

Alternatively, make sure to also check for your controller updates. If you have another controller, try to use the other controller. It could also be an issue with your controller. I assume that your headset is directly connected to your controller, right?
