Why is the Xbox audio higher piched then usual?

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

Thank you. I appreciate that. There's a possibility that it may be an issue with the speaker. Try checking your speaker settings if it's the one that's faulty. To further isolate the issue, try using a different speaker if possible.

Other thing to try on your console as well is to perform a factory reset to remove potentially corrupted data and to refresh your console system.
Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.
Select Reset console.
On the Reset your console? Please choose “Reset and keep my games & apps”

Hi there! Sorry to hear about that. Let's do our best here to figure it out.

What exactly is your console model?
When did you first notice the issue?
May I confirm if you're using a headset or speaker?
Do you hear the high pitch sound on both the headset and speaker?
Does it also happen when you play music from Spotify or YouTube apps?

For our basic troubleshooting steps, please power cycle your console. Press and hold the Xbox power button for 10 sec until it turns off. Unplug it from the power source for few minutes. Plug it back in and turn it on again.

Don't forget to check for updates on your controller.

So I started my Xbox and I notice that the audio was strange, it was higher piched then usual. I tested out a game to see if it was true, I was right, the audio is more higher piched then usual. Please tell me there is a way for the audio to go back to the normal pitch that it was.

I solved the problem. I just turned off the Xbox for some time, and audio was just back to normal. I'm sure the methods work, for other people seeing this and having the same issue and still not working, try some of the other replying methods.

1. Xbox One S

2. Just today

3. Speaker, I don't know about headphones though.

4. I don't know, I never really used those apps.

I will try to see if basic troubleshooting works.
