Before we go into solutions, let’s look at several workarounds that might aid you. Several users were assisted by these workarounds.

Why are the audio and visuals on Xbox out of sync?

Audio and visual synchronisation problems are common in recorded video game footage on Xbox systems. This might be due to the use of a high frame rate or recording at a high quality. Modify your Xbox console’s gameplay recording settings and see if it helps.

Why aren’t my Xbox clips correctly recording?

Several games prohibit players from recording gameplay. Those games inhibit Xbox’s recording function. As a result, such games cannot be recorded. If the game supports recording but you are unable to capture gameplay, check to see if Capturing is enabled. To clear the faulty cache, restart your Xbox console. Additionally, erase any previous game footage to test if it works.
