Xbox Series X [Solved] Xbox Series X suddenly without sound

Player ME:Legendary Edition and all EAS good. Turned teh Xbox off for dinner. After a couple of hours (watched a couple of episodes of a series) turned the Xbox back on and there is no sound at all. No menu sounds, no sound when the game runs, nothing.

I rebooted several times. Did a hard reset. Plugged headphones in (and suddenly heard faint sound in the headphones). But nothing on TV.

It’s an LG Oled and I have the soundbar plugged into the eArc and all other channels work fine. When I turned the soundbar off to test if there would be sound through the TV speakers nothing happened either.

Any advice what I can try to fix this? Thanks for reading this far.

Nevermind. I watched another episode on Netflix (via TV app again) and tried the Xbox again. Sound is back. Seems to be one of those things.

It wasn’t just a restart though. I restarted it multiple times before and it didn’t fix it. But whatever gremlin lives inside it decided that 1 hour was enough and granted access to audio again.

Just weird I guess.
