X42 - Screeching Noise In Headset

Screeching noise in the headset.

 

Old or low-quality rechargeable batteries can cause a high-pitched screeching sound when the batteries start running low. 

 

- Install a set of brand-new alkaline (non-rechargeable) batteries. 

- Use a new set of quality rechargeable batteries instead. We recommend using Eneloop, Duracell, or Energizer rechargeable batteries.

 

However, if the screeching noise persists after you install fresh alkaline batteries:

- Disconnect the Talkback Cable from your headset and Xbox 360 controller to see if the noise stops. If it does, then the talkback cable will need to be replaced.

- Try using a different Xbox 360 controller.
