Xbox Series X microphone crackling issue

Hello,

I've searched for several solutions online but none of them work... let me quickly explain the problem:

I have my wireless Xbox controller connected via a USB C cable to avoid using batteries. Unfortunately, with my microphone, I hear a buzzing sound and my friends do too.

I've tested a few situations:

1: Unplugging the USB C cable, the noise disappears (so the controller works on batteries)
2: Plugging in the USB C cable and leaving the microphone on, the noise comes back
3: Plugging in the USB C cable and muting the microphone, the noise disappears

It's very strange because the noise appears either because of the microphone or because of the cable, but only when I mute the microphone does the buzzing go away. But I could just hear my friends talk, I wouldn't be able to respond... So personally, I think it's the microphone that must have a malfunction.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem, I personally don't hear the crackling, but my friends in the group chat can hear it..
I tried with 2 different headsets, 1 pair of earbuds, and 3 controllers.. nothing works. I'm wondering if it might be coming from the Xbox... have you found a solution since or not? ???? I'm a bit fed up with not being able to talk in the group without my friends yelling because my "headset" is too noisy ????

Hello, I have the same issue and I've found a slight solution.
For my part, when my friends tell me that the sound is crackling, I turn off my controller (middle button -> Turn off the controller), I unplug the microphone, I plug the microphone back in, and I turn my controller back on.
It works every time on my end; it doesn’t eliminate all the crackling, but it reduces it by at least 90%.

Hello, I have the same problem but only in game chat and not in Xbox group or Discord. Does anyone have a solution? I'm getting desperate.
