Xbox Series X buzzing sound through external speakers

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

No, mine is quite. When did this start? If it inconveniences you in any way or affects your gameplay, you can request a repair here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

This problem is with the sound from the X Box One to the monitor speakers (HDMI), replaced monitor and same problem.. Tried external speakers plugged into the monitor and no difference.

Well, if your speakers still produce sound, nothing bad happened.

The IR port on the console simply sends out an "on/off" signal. For a speaker it doesn't matter that it's not a "real" audio signal. An analogue sound signal is simply an electrical current that has more or less power depending on the sound being put out
(like an analogue audio wave).

The more electrical power is put through a line, the more the magnet in a speaker will move the membrane of the speaker, causing the air to vibrate and create a sound wave.

So for the speaker it was just a series of "LOUD SOUND - no sound- LOUD SOUND - no sound - no sound - LOUD SOUND..." signal which was alternating quick enough to make it sound like a screeching or buzzing, as the membrane was pushed all the way depending
on the loudness volume you set on your amplifier, then back several times.

In short: As long as you didn't pop your speaker membrane that way, everything will be all right.

Thanks! I was worried for the Xbox more than the speakers or the audio console. But I guess is like you said, this is all analog and low electrical pulse so. Thanks again for clearing me on this!

My guess is that the signal coming from the headphone jack on the TV is an amplified signal instead of a line level signal. When you feed that amplified signal into your Sherwood amp, it is amplifying and amplified signal which gives you that distortion
you are experiencing. If your Sherwood amp is an older model without an HDMI input and output, you may need to get an audio dongle like this one:

That audio dongle will give the line level output that the Sherwood amp is expecting. Once you use that your audio issues should be solved.
