Steps to Reproduce

1. Connect the Xbox Wireless Headset (TLL-00001).
2. Launch Deep Rock Galactic.
3. The game starts stuttering and experiencing severe lag.
4. Disconnect the headset.
5. The lag disappears and the game runs normally.

Explanation

I’m experiencing a severe performance issue in Deep Rock Galactic that appears to be directly related to my Xbox Wireless Headset (model TLL-00001), the latest black Xbox Wireless Headset.

When the headset is connected, Deep Rock Galactic starts experiencing severe stuttering/freezing and becomes extremely laggy, sometimes to the point where the game is almost unplayable.

When I completely disconnect the headset, the performance immediately returns to normal and the game runs smoothly again.

The issue appears to be reproducible:

Xbox Wireless Headset (TLL-00001) connected → severe stuttering/lag
Xbox Wireless Headset disconnected → normal performance
No other hardware or game settings are changed between the two tests
This makes me suspect a conflict involving the Xbox Wireless audio drivers, Windows audio settings, or the game’s audio system. In the video, I turned the headphones on and off.
