Fortnite Audio Not Working No sound on Xbox fix.
Some players have reported issues with the sound not working in Fortnite on Xbox. Some say they have no audio, while others have problems with lag or the sound cutting out or popping. Complaints about this sound glitch are widespread enough that we can assume a recent update caused the issue. Fortunately, there’s a fix that might work for some.
Fortnite, the hit battle royale game, has a solid base of millions of active players worldwide. This helps its availability in almost all consoles and platforms (including smartphones).
Taking into account the above, the game can also be enjoyed on Xbox (from the ‘One’ generation). But, for a few hours, gamers on Microsoft consoles are facing some sound-related issues.
According to multiple reports, audio in Fortnite is lagging, glitching, or stuttering on Xbox. This issue makes the matches unplayable for many.
Fortnite suffering from multiple audio glitches on Xbox
Fortnite players are reporting that the audio during gameplay is not working properly. Some describe that the bugs appear only during the battles.
However, there are other players who report the same issues in the lobby too. Sound in Fortnite is described as laggy, delayed, boosted, or overlapped by affected players.
Workaround
Players report that uninstalling and reinstalling the game solves audio problems.
How to fix Fortnite sound not working on Xbox:
Some of those having issues with no audio on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S can fix it by restarting the game. Unfortunately, not all problems with sound lag, and audio popping or cutting out won’t be solved by this easy fix. It seems like the cause for many players in the most recent update, which means Epic will have to release a patch or hotfix to address the issue for a permanent solution.
However, if restarting the game doesn’t work, there are a few general fixes players can try to fix the audio in Fortnite:
Restart the console.
Check A/V receiver settings.
Make sure the headset is configured properly.
Change out the cords.
RESTART THE CONSOLE
Many problems can be fixed by hard resetting the Xbox console. Sometimes things just get buggy, and restarting the console can solve the issue.
CHECK A/V RECEIVER SETTINGS
There are two ways to hook up an Xbox to an A/V receiver. Those who have the console directly connected to their receiver will likely not have issues. However, those with the console connected to their TV might find that ARC sometimes malfunctions. To troubleshoot this, try the TV speakers. If they work, users might need to check the ARC settings on their TV or reset their receiver.
MAKE SURE THE HEADSET IS CONFIGURED PROPERLY.
Those using a headset will want to ensure that it’s connected properly and turned on.
CHANGE OUT THE CORDS.
It’s rare, but sometimes HDMI cords just stop working. A cord on its way out might display video but not output audio. A quick way to make sure a user has a good connection is to change out HDMI cables.
Acknowledged
No need to worry about Fortnite status being aware of sound/audio issues and currently working on a fix.
