XBox: No bass on Series X

If I play either streaming from my phone to the receiver, PS5 or Google TV, the bass sounds good. On XBOX Series X, almost no bass at all. Any thoughts? I've adjusted the audio output to stereo uncompressed, 5.1 and Dolby Digital, they all sound the same.

Being able to play music while playing games is awesome, but kinda meh with no bass.

Again, it's only on XBOX that I'm having this issue.

Hi @TonyC_714

Welcome to community!

That’s definitely a strange experience, especially since the bass sounds normal on every other device in the same setup. Since this is isolated to Xbox, let's start by having a fresh connection with Pandora.

Please try uninstalling the Pandora app from your Xbox, restarting the console, then reinstalling the app and testing again. This can help clear out any cached files or potentially corrupted audio settings

Let me know how it goes!
