Makes sense when you look at how the hardware and software sales are going over there. 17 million Switches, 9 million PS4s. There must always be a horny portable platform.

The latest Famitsu weeklong chart has 29 Switch games and one for PS4 (Cyberpunk, lol) at the bottom.

I recently hooked up my Series X and now for some reason there’s no sound coming out of the center channel of my audio setup. I’m using a pioneer receiver, and it works fine when watching cable, or with the PS4 or Nintendo Switch. Any idea what I can do?

I tried messing with all the audio settings on the Xbox with no luck.

I tried the ARC HDMI port and also another non-ARC HDMI port, with the same result. I’m using the same HDMI cable that I used for my Xbox One, and it worked fine then.

Anyone have any advice? This is really frustrating.

Lack of audio on some units has been listed as a known issue on the release notes for some time, make sure to report it directly from the console.

Yea I tried every audio setting, with the same result.

Would using an optical cable make a difference? I’m just using an HDMI at the moment.

Has anyone else run into the issue with the series X dropping WiFi on 5Ghz? I downgraded to 2.4Ghz and it works but it’s a weird and frustrating bug to diagnose (assumed for days it was the router).

It's worth a shot for testing, but optical is a step down from hdmi arc/earc in terms of supported formats.

I know you mean well, but it's worth pointing out that using this code makes one ineligible for the current "first 3 months for $1" offer, so people should get that instead.

I'm a non series x haver and took the threads advice on following wario64, (I've never used twitter before now) but I was wondering how often he posts updates on console availability? I'm not very twitter savvy, but I spun through his tweets and haven't seen any posts regarding console stock, just mainly deals on steam games.

I've also checked nowinstock with their notification thing, but by the time I get the text, they're gone. I got lucky with finding a switch during the beginning of covid, so I might just have to go back to cold calling best buy, microcenter, and target.

I think the MCC tops off at around 150GB? But that's 5 games. But you really only need Halo 3 which is about 20 maybe? Not sure.

Steep is a very fun chill game. It's on sale for 7 dollars and if you want something to play where you can turn your brain off and just ski through forests I recommend it. I've been looking for nice looking 60 fps games since I got the X and it fits the bill. It's not optimized for the X but has a onex enhancement.

I’ve had my eyes on this for a while, but the same team is coming out with Riders Republic (name?) which looks like Steep on steroids. It won’t be $7, but just thinking about the time I have to play I’m considering to wait.

Probably worth picking it up though just given the seasonal relevance.

Still no center channel audio with my Series X. It works fine with my PS4/Switch/Cable, so it’s definitely a problem with the Xbox.

Very frustrating as it’s nearly impossible to watch a movie or tv show since the dialogue is so low.

Just get it for $7 imo. You don't need to invest a lot of time into it, you can just pick a peak and carve your own line.

Have you tried the hdmi cable that came with the series X? I know that’s only supposed to matter for hdmi 2.1 stuff but maybe worth a shot. Also worth checking the av receiver to ensure its set to whatever you’re pushing out from the XsX.

I am using the HDMI cable that came with it, yes. Also what do you mean by checking the receiver? How do I check what it’s set to?

Like I have the HDMI from the Xbox going to the port labeled “game”, and then I choose the game input on the receiver. Or do you mean something else?

I still miss the 360 headset a lot and wish they made an updated version of them. Having it slot into the controller and having the mute button down there on the connector itself close to the right stick was handy and I really liked that it just covered one ear rather than both. It was :perfect:

I briefly went through frustration with my tv and ended up having to download the manual for it. On mine for each hdmi port you have to go in and set up the features to enable such as 1.0, 1.4, 2.0 modes. Might be worth checking if there’s something in a port mode setting that is off.

To this day I don't understand how this game has remained a cult classic. It was like a free title on Windows 3.1 and yet so many people I know that are older millennials or gen-x remember this game fondly. I just remember it being super hilarious each time the monster popped out of no where and ate you. I tried forever to escape it, and I am positive there is a way to do it, but I could never pull it off.

The SSX 2012 360 games is also backwards compatible (albeit without any any enhancements) and despite not being perfect it is still an incredibly fun SSX game imo and the asynchronous multiplayer is actually really enjoyable and such an excellent addition to the series. If you like SSX it's a must-play, I think, and the major complaints are that it's 30fps rather than 60fps (sucks but still fun) and also has some quirks like death pits (which were in SSX3 as well, just not as common) and the gimmicky boss battle runs which are only a small fragment of the game (needing to outride an avalanche, snowboarding on super slippery ice surrounded by death pits, managing an oxygen supply etc.) but are made up for by some fantastic level design and the addition of a wing suit. It's a really great pick-up-and-play game as well. I wish EA would make another but they're neglecting all their good IPs to reboot Mass Effect and Need for Speed AGAIN.
