- While the Xbox 360 is turned off, remove the hard drive.
- Turn on the Xbox 360.
- Once the Dashboard loads, replace the hard drive.

No problems for me.
Honestly, if I experienced this error, I would simply leave my console unplugged for a day.

Works perfectly fine for me as well.
I thought maybe it was cuz I'm using my monitor's HDMI to connect.

I dont use the HDMI on my 360 but I did notice one audio problem. Games work fine but when I order a movie or tv show the audio does not come across the tv. If I use the optical audio for surround sound it works fine. If I turn off the tv after the program started the sound comes back.

My sound is out after the update. But it works with the component cables. The harddrive fix works but you have to put in each time you start the unit. If you pull the harddrive and update a 256 memory card it works.... but when you put the hard drive back in no sound...the only thing i havent tried is formatting the hard drive but i dont want to loose all my saved games

Just got my xbox back from the repair shop a couple hours ago, installed the NXE, and now it has to go back with another 3rr.

there always has to be a RROD.. best I managed is gradual GPU failiure on a Zephyr Elite, and disc read failiure on a Xenon premium.. I do 6 hours most nights, up to 10, 12 if I have a day off, & in two years & 50 odd different games.. where's mine??
Anyhow.. on topic.. my 360 has had no trouble with sound..surely something like that would come up in testing..
I noticed the 'clicks' on menu's differ in volumes.. I believe that's deliberate, I think it sounds good like that, it's never affected music playing..

I am having sound issues with my hdmi. I JUST BOUGHT an arcade system today because my pro system got the RROD. Put my hard drive in the arcade system...BRAND NEW HDMI cable. I have no sound. I've been lucky a few times when it wants to work it works but not very often. Maybe it has something to do with the 20 gig drives?

The only trouble I'm having with the sound on my Xbox since the update is that damn "Kingdom for Keflings" music looping over and over. My wife played for two hours last night and it about drove me bonkers! Good game though.

No problem with HDMI on my Sony even via a switch.
There is also another HDMI issue alot of people with Samsungs are getting "Mode not Supported" and this is because the colour settings have defaulted to other than RGB and the TVs can't handle it.

I had a problem pre-NXE where the sound channels would reverse (with HDMI), left out of right and vice versa. Restarting the xbox would fix it, and using the optical works too but then I have to use component video. I have not tried just HDMI yet as I doubt it fixed anything, and apparently made it worse.

How about the issue with it freezing when you're exiting your friends list?

Thank you!
I thought it was just a day-one issue but it seems to constantly be happening now. Quite annoying, really.

I know right? The whole system locked up when I tried to back out of a friend who was in a party chat. Turned the system off and the screen was still showing the NXE. I had to unplug it to reboot. I thought for sure the RROD was soon to follow. I love all the input MS is doing for the console but let's face it. It's a gamble every time you turn it on.

Also seems to be giving people the RRoD right after applying the update.

I don't think that has to do with the NXE per se. I think it's just a matter of a ticking time bomb getting set off by the extra stress on the system from the update.

Its FUD spread by PS3 fanboys. The only possible way a software update could RRoD is maybe, I say maybe cause I donno, if they had a modified xbox, as in voided the warrenty opened up the case took out resisters and things... The NXE was giving to 10s of thousands before launch and no outbreak happened at that time.

I had my sound go out using the hdmi. I thought my speakers took a dump at first but i went back with the standard hi def cables and sound came back.

My only issue has been there all along, when I play back video and the encoding changes my receiver goes bonckers and squeels, I bring up the menu on my receiver, then exit and the problem goes away, just annoying, but I think it's the receiver and not the xbox. Oh, yeah, and using HDMI.

I am using HDMI, and everything works fine except playing videos over Netflix. I get a black screen, but the 360 seems to still be running. I am using an early 2008 Elite over HDMI to a LG plasma.

I'd got some problems with sound after installing NXE, I'm using HDMI it's really strange because when I change the HDMI socket everything was okay :/ , I resolved the problem unplugin the power adaptor of my TV and Xbox:/

I have been experiencing this problem before NXE even came out and it still happens. all i do tho is unplug then replug the HDMI cable from the back of the console. it'll cut the screen out too and takes a few seconds to register, but it works for me.

My HDMI sound is good through the TV and via optical on my surround sound system. I have an Elite from early 2007.
