    Unable to upgrade xbox wireless headset firmware from windows PC 10/11


    Hello!

    yesterday i received my new Xbox wireless headset, but there is no way to execute a firmware upgrade.

    I am going to use the headset on windows PC or mobile phone, so i have to upgrade by using the windows xbox accessories app from the app store.

    I tried everything, but there is no way to upgrade. I received the headset with an old firmware release (0.0.9.22), so i'm seriously thinking to return the headset.

    I can adjust all the settings correctly, but when i click the update now button and then continue button, the upgrade procedure starts, but the percentage is stuck at 0%, and after seconds i get an error: a problem occurred while upgrading the headset.

    I contacted the support, and i was told without any technical check that there is a big server migration ongoing and to try again in a couple of days.

    I cheched the URL that my PC is trying to contact (using wireshark) and it's an API server up and running reachable via browser, so i don't believe that this can be the problem.

    I tried the procedure from 3 different windows PC (1 win11 and 2 win10), but from windows 10 the upgrade button neither shows up.

    The headset is connected via original usb cable during the procedure, and i tried also with different cable, but nothing seems to help.

    Is there anything else i can try before returning the Headset?

    Any help is really appreciated.

    Thank you,

    :)

    Xbox Wireless Headset Distorted Sound

    Same issue here. I've scoured Reddit and other forums and haven't seen a fix yet. The headset works fine on Bluetooth and when connected via USB-C, but while using the official Xbox Wireless Adapter (the slim one), I get garbled and choppy audio in both games and general Windows audio such as Zoom meetings.

    I'm using the headset on Windows 10 with headset firmware v.0.0.9.24 as of 11/15/2021.

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the headset. According to the Turtle Beach page https://www.turtlebeach.com/products/stealth-600-headset-xbox-one?variant=7763423592492 the
    headset can be used with compatible Windows 10 PC's and may need an Xbox wireless adapter for Windows.

    XBOX WIRELESS

    Xbox Wireless provides you with a best-in-class wireless gaming audio experience on Xbox One (and compatible Windows 10** PCs) by letting you connect your headset directly to your Xbox One without an adapter, the same way
    your Xbox One wireless controller connects to the console. Xbox Wireless automatically configures the headset’s connection, so just turn-on the headset and start playing. **May require Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows (not included).

    Xbox Series controller - Double input on some games with Windows 11 and latest controller firmware while wireless/bluetooth

    Hi Geri and thank you for your concern !

    1. Is this the wireless or the Elite?

    It's the wireless one not the Elite (this one https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/d/manette-sans-fil-xbox/8xn59crbsqgz/7V47 bought on Microsoft store).

    I have two, the black and the white ones, same issue with both.

    1. When did the issue start?

    When I upgrade the firmware of my controller with Xbox Accessories app and/or when I move from Windows 10 to Windows 11 (I did both the same day).

    1. Have check if the controller support Bluetooth?

    Yes of course, as they work well in some games, not with other ones.

    1. Any recent activity or changes made before the issue appeared?

    Controller Firmware update & Windows update to Win 11

    1. Did you check if this controller work with rollback?

    It's impossible to rollback the controller firmware on Windows 11

    Whenever my laptop uses my XBOX wireless gaming headset's mic it lowers the volume of other sounds coming through my headphones how do i turn this off

    After investigating the issue, I've found that the Xbox Wireless Headset requires a Bluetooth 4.2 or higher, an Xbox Wireless Adapter or compatible USB-C Cable in order to connect to Windows 10/11. You can find this information in the System Requirements section on the product page for the headset here: Xbox Wireless Headset | Xbox

    Can you confirm that your Bluetooth version is compatible?

    - Press the Windows key + X

    - Select Device Manager

    - Find your Bluetooth device under the Bluetooth drop-down (ex: Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R))

    - Right click it and select Properties

    - Select the Advanced tab

    You should see "Firmware Version: HCI XX.XXX / LMP XX.XXX" (The "X"s being place holders for the numerical values). Anything above LMP 8 meets or exceeds the firmware requirements.

    You can find out more about this here: What Bluetooth version is on my PC? (microsoft.com)

    Have you tried disconnecting from Bluetooth and using the headset via USB-C connection? This will verify if this is a Bluetooth connectivity issue or an issue with the device.

    When you connected the headset to the PC to change options in the Xbox Accessories App, were you prompted to update the device? If not, have you tried updating the headset?

    Looking forward to hearing back,
