Audiences can be heard by clicking on the following link:

• Users have reported intermittent audio issues across dashboards, games and apps. In the event that your equipment is not working properly, check to see if you have installed all of the most recent firmware updates. If you’re unsure, you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.
  • Please Note:: If you continue to experience issues after applying the latest firmware updates, please submit feedback via Report a Problem immediately with the “Reproduce with advanced diagnostics” option, then select the category “Console experiences” and “Console Audio Output Issues”. Include as much detail as you can:
