Xbox Series X, playing a game for extended period, then switching to dash/another game, no...

Hello, Nth. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

I'm sorry to hear you're having audio issues when switching games. Actually, I was reviewing the list of known issues, and found this:
“Some players have reported intermittent audio issues across the dashboard or when launching games or apps.

Workaround: Reboot the console and games should launch normally.”

As the Xbox team recommends, please report the problem with advanced diagnostics. Make sure to include information like audio setup, when this issue occurred, troubleshooting steps tried, and other relevant info.

Once you get the Report a problem app, you can proceed by following these steps:

Press and hold the Xbox button, and then select Report a problem to launch the Report a Problem app.
Select Report new problem.

If you’re experiencing an audio or video issue, you can provide additional info and diagnostics to your problem report by selecting Reproduce with advanced diagnostics. Otherwise, select Continue with standard diagnostics.
Note, If you select Reproduce with advanced diagnostics, continue with the instructions that are found in the section, “Report a problem with media tracing.”

Choose the most appropriate category and subcategory from each dropdown. If you’re not sure what to choose, make your best guess.

If you have a screenshot or game clip with your issue, ensure that Include screenshot or Include game clip is selected.

You may be prompted to complete your report another way:

If you select Use another device, you can use your mobile device to scan the provided QR code and continue from your device. This is helpful if your problem report has a lot of details that typing with the virtual keyboard on console may prove difficult.

If you select Continue on console, you can continue through the steps in this section to submit your issue from your Xbox console. You can use a USB keyboard, the Xbox Chatpad, or the Xbox app on your mobile or Windows device to submit the details of your report.

Note If you’re using a virtual assistant such as Cortana or Alexa, bring up the keyboard for each text field, and then press the View button to use voice-to-text.
Enter a short title for your issue.
Enter a description of your issue. Consider the following questions when deciding what details to include:
What is the problem or unexpected behavior?
What steps did you take to encounter the problem?
What additional software, hardware, or accessories were you using when you encountered the problem?
Were there any specific error codes or messages you saw when you encountered the problem or behavior? If so, what did it say?
Select Submit. It can take several seconds for your problem report to send.

Thanks for taking the time to read me,

Arturo.

Rebooting does not solve the issue. The audio remains muted unless the system is powered off and left for many hours (largely I need to leave it off overnight). I have attempted closing the game, closing all games in standby, switching to a different third game, rebooting console, switching console HDMI port.

Of all of these, the only one that temporarily does anything is HDMI port switching, however it isn't guaranteed, and the same issue will occur in the new HDMI slot. I have put the XSX in every one of my 3 HDMI slots, and it will inevitably happen. This suggests, to me, the issue is the Xbox hardware, and not the television. Reliably the TV, the speakers, and the HDMI slot/channel all function as expected with all other devices plugged into it.

Hi,

I would highly recommend getting the Xbox Elite controller if you play FPS games or play for extended periods of time.

Happy Gaming!

I'm not sure if there was talk about extending the catalog of games for the x series, maybe there if they include those games and more.

which xbox as you can natively stream to twitch from the dash on series s and x
