Silly question, are the volume/balance controls set properly on either side of the headset? And have you tried reconnecting them,and checking for a headsetfirmware update in the Xbox device settings?

Never a silly question mate!
I've got it solved though, had to bug an old friend. It's to do with how the X handles HMDI sound with certain gaming monitors. Fecking trust it to be my boy's on Xmas day.
I've also just rebuilt my eldest's PC with him, and had endless problems with the ethernet. Great Xmas so far!

They seem to be outdoing themselves each month. I thought the games were already awful 3 years ago but these days they are the sort of games that you do not even bother adding to your library. That service should have been scrapped altogether by now, pretty much everyone who owns an Xbox is on Game Pass anyway.
Autonauts is a masterpiece. Sleep on it at your peril
Hi, guys. Just wondering what folks’ thoughts are on Xbox Series X v. Xbox Series S? I haven’t had a new console in years (Xbox 360 was my last purchase 
) and for various reasons - children, work commitments etc. - I haven’t been as avid a gamer as I used to be but feel like getting back on the horse again. 
Is the X Series worth the higher price point if I’m only going to be playing a handful of games every now and then? (FIFA, GTA etc.)

I think so. The S's biggest draw is if you want to play a wide variety of games at a low price through Gamepass. Despite the X's price point, it arguably suits people like you who only play a few games because it means you can buy them on disc (usually slightly cheaper/resale value) and also lets you play them at the highest quality setting, assuming you have a 4k TV.Hi, guys.

If cost/resale value isn't the biggest issue then I might even suggest the PS5 Digital Edition because it's at that sweet price point between the S and X. Sadly it's still an absolute ball ache to get one.
If you can afford the extra cash go for the X. The S will play the games but the X just plays them so much better.Hi, guys. Just wondering what folks’ thoughts are on Xbox Series X v. Xbox Series S? I haven’t had a new console in years (Xbox 360 was my last purchase

Go for the X. It’s not even about graphics for me but about storage. I barely keep any games on my X now and still have only 270 GB of free storage, meaning I would be more than 200 GB over S’ capacity (admittedly I do use 160+ for NBA 2K which is the worst clog of all games that exist).Hi, guys.

Just loaded up again there using the game pass trick - 3 years for £124 inclusive. So about £3.44 a month. Criminal value.
imagine paying £3.44 a month to play no games.
This thread is to discuss the Xbox Series X and its games only. Go to the PlayStation 5 thread if you wish to discuss that console, and if you wish to compare the two/console war, go to the PS5 vs Xbox Series X thread.
Should get news of a Xbox Direct/State of Play style show any day now.
Need dates for Starfield, Redfall and Forza

Let me know when it is, I’m sure I can spare the 7 minutes it’ll last.
Do you know what game pass is?
That's how long you lasted on the chase isn't it?
Let's watch it together down the pub. I'll get the pornstarz in.
Touché!Sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you over the two games I finished this week.
The cost you ask? Well it was included as part of the subscription, you see. Relatively minor.

I've been playing the new Monkey Island game recently, quite pleasant and more straightforward than I anticipated it to be - I remember original Monkey Island games to be quite convoluted and hard to navigate around, but I was probably about 12 when I played them so it might have been that. Also, my current perception may be driven by the fact I have only completed about an hour and a half so far. I played Thimblewood Park on Switch recently, which inherits a lot of things after games like Monkey Island, and it got so crazy in its complexity and how particular it required you to be about certain puzzles that I just stopped playing (I don't really want my experience to be mostly about checking online walkthroughs at all times).

Chained Echoes is an absolute gem of a classic JRPG
If you could liken it to another JRPG, what would it be?
It's pretty much a homage to Chrono Trigger, so probably that.
It has a cool modern battle system, kinda like Octopath.
It's also very challenging, most battles require a decent level of strategy, especially bosses.
And it has all the nice modern improvements - characters move really fast, it's zippy, and encounters aren't random, you can save anywhere etc.
I really like the look of this, definitely getting it at some point. After the disappointment that was Octopath, I'd love to play a modern-classic JRPG that's actually good. I'm hoping this and/or Live a Live deliver that.
Hmm, yeah, I've done 2 of the 8 chapters of that and I'm not loving it. It's modern in a sense that they've updated the graphics but the combat is still very 1994. Also every story is completely self contained meaning different characters back at level 0 for 3-4 hours and then you move on. So, it's kinda ok for the Switch to dive in/out of when it suits, but ... yeah, it's ok. I'm disappointed, I expected more.
I've had it downloaded but not started yet as I can tell I'll be sucked into it, and I've got too much on.
That sounds... exactly like Octopath. Yikes.
I would say Octopath (which I enjoyed, despite its flaws) was better because you have the same characters throughout and they level up throughout the game. These are completely different stories and characters.

P4G is a no brainer for anyone who hasn't played it yet. One of the best JRPG's ever.
Monster Hunter Rise looks interesting.

How would you say P4G compared to P5?
I'm planning to jump straight into P3P as I've heard the story is really good.
What am I your personal fecking game review.
You're the only person I trust in this cold hard world Spanner
Monster Hunter looks excellent. Hopefully it runs smooth.
Xbox direct show coming on the 25th of this month. Going to give dates to games.
Thoughts on this @Massive Spanner ?
I'm thinking about getting Hades. I'm usually not much into roguelites since repeatedly going through the same areas seems like a waste of time, however Hades is supposed to be absolutely great. What's your opinion @Massive Spanner ?
Apparently Starfield isn't there. They are planning to give it it's own Todd Howard event later.
