Xbox Wireless Headset - How to stop it from turning on Xbox when using on PC?

FredericoGoldmann · Oct 29, 2023

Hello everybody,

I have an Xbox Wireless headset and while I was only using it for my Xbox, everything was fine. It works perfectly. However, I recently built a PC to play iRacing and to my surprise, every time I turn on the headset to use on the PC, my Xbox turns on. Is there any option to disable this? Another problem I noticed is that sometimes I keep doing some things on the PC that don't play sound and when this happens (after a while) the headset turns off by itself. I have to turn it on again and turn off the Xbox once again. Is there any software where I can make these specific settings?

Thanks!

:)

Was there ever actually any word on if they would work on a fix? I only ever saw acknowledgment of the issue.

But yes it’s quite ridiculous at this point, Microsoft has proved to be incompetent so many times by now.

Will this kill any quick resume titles in memory?

same for me, my xbox and my pc are in the same room, there should be a way to stop the xbox from turning on. I am about to return the headset to amazon.

Pokey stuff

Over a year... Still no solution. This is ridiculous. Maybe we need to tag Phil on a bunch of tweets.
