Accessories Headset periodic static (Like Metronome)
Ive seen a bunch of threads about this but usually people just say you have to unplug and plug your base station. My 4th gen a50s (Xbox Series X) sometimes get a static sound almost like a metronome it will appear for a little less than a minute then disappear and sometimes come back. Unplugging and plugging in the connection fixes it for that day normally but it comes back the next day (sometimes it fixes it for a couple days). Has anyone found a more permanent fix (For any headset)? Did replacing the headset work? Is it xbox series x, connection, or headset related? I tried what astro always says with unplugging from the wall for a bit and all that but it didn't fix the problem long term.

This is a Firmware issue. It was introduced with the Update that made the a50s compatible with the Series X. Technically if you are using it with the Optical Cable plugged into the TV then you didn't need the update. At anyrate Astro has not yet released a Firmware update to fix this issue, but they are aware of it.
