So I just found out that the Series X controller can memorize multiple syncs. You just need to sync to another device as normal and it will keep the last used Xbox in memory and along with the new device.

So if you sync it on your Xbox, you can sync with your PC or android device and swap between them without having to resync each time.

Double tap sync - Xbox

Hold sync - Previous Android/PC device
This didn’t work for me tonight when I tried. I must have done something wrong.

I remembered hearing about this functionality before launch but couldn't find anywhere how to do it (I think I even asked in this thread and nobody knew what I was talking about). Great feature to have, thank you for sharing.

has anyone cleaned the series X yet? i’ve noticed a bit a dust build up on the heatsink/vapour chamber when i look from round the back. is it best to use a can of compressed air to blow the dust away? i’ve heard the cans can sometimes release water vapour and wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to get any water on something like that.

any other ideas would be welcome..

Almost nine years ago, stats and files from our previous franchise, Halo, stopped getting updated on Bungie.net. Since then, all stats, files, and other data from Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach have lived on in remembrance at halo.bungie.net.

On February 9, the halo.bungie.net website will be taken offline permanently. Everyone is welcome to save their stats and files, however they can, if they'd like to save anything. Please keep in mind that our News articles, Forums, and Groups were imported into the current version of Bungie.net back in 2013.

Anyone with an Atmos setup (in my case 5.1.2) how do you have it set on the Xbox. Download the Atmos app then 5.1? Or 7.1? And then any upmixing on the amp or just direct? :)

I don’t use a receiver but in my case it was, download the app, configure in the Xbox Sound ans Volume settings for Bitstream out / Dolby Atmos for home cinema and voila.

Also my setup uses ARC so depending on your tv you may need to do some setup there. I use a 65CX so it set it up itself automatically.

Theres an atmos setting in settings but its bitstream out on the HDMI settings. Once you hit bitstream out you can then select atmos or DTSX

Chukhopops Chukhopops Nikana Nikana cheers, I'll set it up properly now. 😁

Currently giving Alan Wake a replay. Love this game (so much better than Control). Alan Wake is right up their with Silent Hill 2 as a all time horror great IMO.
Depending on your receiver you might like the built it upmixer more for non atmos/DTX content. I found that the Atmos upmixing to be a little less dynamic than the built in dolby upmixing in my denon. But its not a drastic difference.

There is a setting it Atmos App, not sure if there is a free version for that tho. I know that the Atmos App is mostly for headphones, but there is a settings there. I will take a look. However no Atmos setup for me sadly...

Alright so I cannot use it, because it say that my setup does not support Atmos, which is expected. However on the internet it says that it will setup your speaker acoording what you have setup in soundbar/receiver. I guess it's communicating somehow. You have problems?

Yeah, I love Alan Wake. The first time I played it, it was so good I played it a 2nd time right after I finished the first. I played it again when it came with Quantum Break. I didn't think it would hold up after all the years; was glad to be wrong.

I hope it gets X enhanced or remastered at some point, I'd gladly pay for it again (mainly a res bump). Hopefully one day we will get a full sequel. It's so fun, not really high art just an absolute blast of a good time. I'll definitely be playing all the DLC next.

All sorted now, cheers bud. Changed it to bitstream and then selected Atmos. Think it was in "Linear PCM" before. Right in time to watch Wanda Vision tonight. Finally claimed my free month on Gamepass. 😁

Getting some unusual behaviour on my Series X today. It's not longer automatically signing me in anymore, even though the option is ticked in the settings. Also Prime is asking me to register TV with number as if it was the first time using it, once done it won't play any media content. I knew about the sign in issue but only reason I checked prime was because nothing would play on Disney Plus either when I signed up tonight. Internet connection check says it's good and strong. The first page of the MS store wont load but everything else will. Very strange 🤔🤔

Was all working fine last night and nothing should have changed.

Edit: I no longer have a HDR capable TV according to the settings. Joy's of running a home cinema 😂

Edit 2: I have a HDR tv again that works on games. Just no streaming content is loading apart from YouTube and Apple TV. How strange. Perhaps this one is on my internet service provider.

Edit 3: Fixed. Factory reset console but kept the apps and games installed and everything is working as normal. Phew.

OMG you don't even own a Series X, you're just a Sony fanboy trying to slander my precious. Please contact a Mod, give them your gamer tag and have them verify if you really own a Series X.
Oh wait NVM, I have your gamer tag so I guess you do have a Series X, but obviously you spent $500+ just so you could make false claims about it.

Sound like any lunatic fanboy we know? 🤣 :LOL: 🤣 🤡🌎

Sure Jan. Can you post your gamertag so we know you're telling the truth and actually have an Xbox? Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to get Soapyful-san to ban you.

I might have missed it but is there any truth that Hades is coming to Series X?

This is great news to hear, they already had a modular dual OS with the Windows based OS and GameOS side by side and now the former is being delivered in more independent chunks too.

The challenge of end to end testing is there though. In many groups this places a lot of work on the front end team that ties all these components together and tends to see issues and sometimes the more you make things independent and continuously delivered the less integration testing each team does. Still good news overall :).

On a related note not one response after I finally gave him my PS4/5 user ID to help him change his ways 😂. Considering all the posts against me calling me a liar, nothing admitting he was sorry or wrong 😂
(It feels like quite a lot of posts in the last few pages are piling on a user without quoting them than discussing Xbox...)

For the record most of the responses were about FrankWza FrankWza and his great ignorance in the Game Pass thread, but it’s funny you think your favorite piece of trash was the victim.

It’s funny to me that there are so many shitty posters that you don’t even know which shitty poster people are talking about at a givin time.

Lol, sure. The thing is that some people feel the same about some core people here and I am not seeing them living rent free in the other console related OT’s... as if we did not have enough things to talk about.
Nice edit... if you've followed the last few weeks you'd see it's justified and only a response to outrageous accusations.
Sorry, meant to have it in the first place. Not judging on that or not, but that felt still odd to use this OT to pile on people.

You use this term all the time, but you’re the one seemingly obsessed with what people are discussing in this thread.

I see comments all the time on GAF that are along the lines of ‘the usual Xbox brigade will be here in a minute’, so I’m not sure WTF you’re going on about.

Bullshit.

The fact that you are in the Xbot OT with this proves it.

You guys can’t get enough, and when you can’t find the drama you go looking for it.

Yes, this is a thread dedicated to Xbox and beside this parenthesis that is what I was doing. You can check out most of my posts in this OT btw.

You (you as in Kagey K) sure are welcoming ;).

A bit of those yes, it is true and it is thread shitting / trying to stir shit (if you think I like it from the PS side you are mistaken), but generally not focused as much on one person and we really see it from both sides.

Edit: anyways, I will stop derailing this discussion on this just do not think this is the thread for Xbots as Kagey put it and I hope the PS5 OT does not become a Sonyboy thread where they spend more time shitting on Xbox and Xbox fans than taking about their console as that would be crap.
