Make sure your Base Station is set to Xbox mode (NOT PC mode). Connect it via USB to your Series X. Also, download the Astro Command Center software to update your headset's firmware if needed.

Just plug it in. It's mostly plug-and-play these days with Xbox Series X.

I had the same issue! Just make sure your Base Station is in Xbox mode and that you've downloaded the necessary firmware updates via Astro Command Center. Worked like a charm for me!
