Xbox Wireless Adapter sound issues

I'm experiencing the same issues. The problem isn't the wireless adapter. It's the implementation of spacial sounds and atmos in general.

I know it's not wireless because i still have the same exact issues when using the headset hard-wired (using a 20' USB-A to USB-C adapter. I have no wireless adapter connected so it's not an issue of me thinking it's wired when it's actually wireless).

Disabling spacial sounds in the settings makes the sound better, but not good. This headset works flawlessly on my Xbox One X, so I know the hardware itself works.

I believe it's a driver issue and compatability issue with surround sound in general that cause problems.

Hi, Ivan my name is Jhon and will be a pleasure help you.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing audio issues with your Xbox Wireless Headset and Xbox Wireless Adapter. Based on your description, it seems that the issue is not with the headset itself, but with the adapter.

I found a solution that has worked for many users who have experienced similar issues. Here are the steps:

Press the Windows key + X on your keyboard to open the Power Menu.
Select Device Manager.

Click Network Adapter to expand the menu and right-click Xbox One Wireless Adapter for Windows.

Select Update Driver Software > Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software.

Make sure that USB Audio Device is selected for playback devices under sound settings. To do this, right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select Playback Devices. Then select Headphones (aka USB Audio Device).

If the above steps don’t work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the adapter driver.

Here are the steps:

Open your Device Manager.
Right-click on the actual Xbox One Wireless Adapter and select Uninstall. On the next panel, check the box Delete the installed driver.

Unplug/replug the adapter. It will appear as XBOX ACC.

Right-click on it, select Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software.

Once updated, all the system and game audio will come through your compatible stereo headset.

I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions or need additional clarification.

Hey there! You mentioned buying a new wireless adapter. It sounds like that is where the issue lies. What adapter did you purchase?

.

If it is an official Xbox adapter, is the light on the adapter itself glowing? If so, what color?
