Astro Mixamp pro TR on Xbox series X

Hey everyone, I got the astro mixamp tr as I play with a lot of third party controllers. Unfortunately only the elite series 2 gives a decent audio, every other controller just does'nt sound right. Happy to say I really enjoy using other controllers now, with the audio being handled by the mixamp. Any questions please leave me a comment, thanks.

For those still having trouble connecting A40 to Xbox series X, the key is updating the firmware on the mixamp. I spent so much time troubleshooting until I plugged the amp to Astros control center and updating the firmware. It works good now through USB output

Really appreciate this content. I’ve been using a Astro mix amp and had no clue that EQ settings were irrelevant without the optical. I have a series x, but have to implement the Dolby atmos on the console. I agree….. I’ve tried the processing on the mix app and it’s bad. Thanks again!

I do wish the Mixamp had a mute button on it.
My favorite part is having it linked to my PC and being able to control the balance between my XSX, PS5 and PC.

Anyone can update the astro A40 mixamp TR to the last firmware for to work with the Xbox X. Mine wont update

[wyattok]

Mine doesn’t give me the option to update

[alexandertanski]

Mine just won’t update, it goes to the update section and just doesn’t do anything

I've done some experimenting with the mixamp with and without optical (from my tv) and I came to the same conclusion you did. Its seems to be slightly better, to my untrained ears, with optical. But I found the Dolby Atmos app makes the most noticeable changes to either setup. Also slightly from game to game.

As you know when using optical and PC mode, you can use the EQs on the mixamp. I don't know anything about EQ settings so I use the neutral one, all in the middle, and rely on the Dolby Atmos app. I'd be interesting in learning but looking for videos in the hopes of finding one that goes through all the sliders and explains what they do, they're all obsessed with foot steps. Personally I'm more concerned with enjoying environmental sounds and voices, so I tend to just use the Movie setting on the Atmos app and set it to Balanced. But I don't really know if that's the best one. I've noticed you've made one so I'll try that.

Thanks again for all your help. This video has been tremendously helpful, and I'm sure we all appreciate you taking the time to answer all our questions.

Hi everyone. If you use an optical cable from your tv to the Astro, does it matter what settings you use on the Xbox?

[wyattok]

I really need you to answer please I go to the software and it shows no update is neeeded I JSUT got these but when I plug them into my Xbox series x i can’t hear nothing

[jimespinozac]

I'm days away from getting the headphones, I tried to understand what the video said but using the default translator was very confusing (I speak Spanish) can anyone currently help me with configuration and advice?

The audio on the Xbox 360 seemed to be miles ahead of current gen consoles for directional audio- how is it so bad.

[mattclements]

The optical cable for me is day and night, the optical cable is so much louder as well

[georgevesta]

No idea why it doesnt sense my headphones connected. Have everything plugged in and went in dolby access, nothing. No audio or mic.

[neosaber]

Can you connect mixamp with usb and be able to recive audio and have be able to chat ? Or the mic will not work ?

[ripmyname]

I don’t have a pc to update the firmware nor do i have the adapter. Im not getting any audio output to the headset and it won’t let me assign it to my account

[eliteslayer]

Will this work with my tv's optical out? Im trying to get dolby surround sound with my beyerdynamic 770 headphones but the only way to get sounds really is through my tvs optical.

Hi, I have a problem like that.

When I go to put the aux cable on my astro mixamp and connect to my pc in out to hear the alerts, I duplicate the audio of the game how do I remove it? Using 4k capture application
Thank you

Optical cant do atmos sound . Its a limitation from what I know. I am a bit confused about this video.

[tiweh]

Hi i was wondering if there is any way you could try to connect a usb mic to the mixamp in the front headset jack with a headphone mic splitter because im trying to use a usb microphone on xbox that way but it is not working even tho ive seen other people get it to work

[Elia-pkov]

wdym by optical? sorry im not very good on these things. I have an AstroA40 headest with the mixamp. I plug the headset on the mixamp which is connected to the xbox via usb. I always felt like i never had a proper good experience.
