Audio popping and crackling in headphones

Hey there redraptor97.

Odd that this is happening across controllers and headsets. It certainly sounds like you may experiencing some wireless interference. My thinking is that when your batteries are low, your controller's wireless strength is weakening. Do you have any other wireless devices in the room that you can move to see if there's any change?

Hello, by wireless devices do you mean devices that can connect to the internet? Sometimes I keep my phone and laptop near, but the popping happens whether or not they are near. This also doesn't explain why the jacks keep breaking eventually.

Hey again redraptor987.

Thanks for clarifying! I was more referring to routers possibly in between your console and controller. It doesn't sound like an issue with any particular controller or headset, which is why I was thinking there may be nearby interference. Are you in a house or are you in an apartment?

There isn't a router between my controller and console and I don't think neighbours' routers' would cause interference if that's what you're getting at since my router is closest anyway.

I'm really confused. I was using a Turtle beach audio controller with my headset. I unplugged that and plugged the headset directly to the controller and that seemed to lessen the popping. So does interference cause popping and crackling? When I move my controller really far away from my console, my headset starts to crackle before disconnecting so you could be right.

I've also tried moving the controller directly in front of the Xbox and it still happens. So I really haven't got a clue as to what to do.

Now I have another problem, where my headphones suddenly cut out after lots of popping and crackling, and I have to disconnect and reconnect my headphones. This has happened before, but it is becoming more frequent. I removed all wireless devices such as phones and laptops and disconnected them from the internet, and it is still happening, does anyone know what to do, or any technical support?

I have the same problem but on startup. Tried changing cables, turning off all the other devices ect and nothing seems to work. Plugged in my PS3 and no issues with the system.

It appears to be an issue with 4K audio in the XBox because it doesn't happen when I disable the 4K settings. 4K capability was the main reason for buying the thing in the first place.

Not fit for purpose Microsoft.

Having a similar issue with a brand-new One X bought in June 2019.

I connected a regular, simple 3.5 mm headset without a microphone, to the controller and used it to watch movies on Netflix.

I noticed some cracking/popping sounds when switching between movies. Pausing a movie also results in a weird sound right when audio playback stops. Watching a movie without performing any actions is fine, no extra noises.

It might be an issue that Netflix can fix, but I feel it's rooted in the Xbox platform. I think apps should just work fine, and not have to worry about solving such low-level issues. Moreover, I've used Netflix on 5 different platforms, and I've never noticed this issue elsewhere.

And surely and the cable
