So I was playing GTA V and I was doing the paleto score heist. About halfway into it, The sound cuts out. My volume was really low and I was listening to music on my phone so I figured it was probably because of that. but when I raised the volume, and paused the music I noticed certain sounds had disappeared.
I no longer heard ringtones or car sounds, the characters didn't speak (or I couldn't hear them), and the entire game just felt kinda off. Like it felt really buggy. I think the gunman was missing from the heist too even though there was no indication that he died and he was with us the whole time... I completed the mission. and later when I switched to the other characters they were all driving random vehicles that didn't make sense for the locations they were in. Franklin was in a truck of some sort in the mountains (close to that lighthouse area), Michael was the character I was playing as so nothing abnormal there, and Trevor was FAR from the trailer in fact he was on the highway and in a pickup truck that wasn't his.
at this point I noticed something was wrong, so I figure I might as well play something else. I leave the game, and go to the games and apps section. I started playing "Unmechanical:extended" which is one of my favourite (indie?) puzzle/adventure games. When the game loaded, the logos were taking a bit longer than usual.
Suddenly I heard what I thought was a car outside with the engine running loudly. Maybe it was a garbage truck. Although it kinda sounded like a vacuum. I had earphones in, so when I took them out I was shocked to realize that the loud noise was coming from the Xbox one. That's never happened before. It was as loud as the Xbox 360's fan. After that none of my games loaded, they all just froze up.
Anyone else have this problem? I'm gonna restart my Xbox which will probably fix it, but am I gonna have to send this thing in or something?
[b]TL;DR[/b]
My Xbox one fan started going crazy and it got really loud. Sounded almost like a vacuum or the Xbox 360 fan. Is this a random occurrence or am I gonna need to send this thing in?
Edit:It seems to be fixed now...still wondering why that fan thing happened though...

You know what they say: Always use protection. [spoiler]seriously you have a warranty right[/spoiler]
-
Maybe Franklin and Trevor wanted to try something different
-
You should probably [spoiler]Set it to Wumbo[/spoiler] But in actuality I don't know that hasn't happened to me yet. Maybe cause I don't play it that often. I play 360/PS3 way more still. But i'm hoping Arkham Knight will change that! ;P

The gta v sound messing up had nothing to do with it. I can tell you that cause sometimes my gta v online sound dies. But it's only like half the sound and the only way to fix it is to restart gta v or switch characters.

There is a way to set it to turn off all the way when you press the power button in the settings. Dig around and you'll find it.
-
Probably a result of the moronic decision to make the power button be in actuality a hibernate button. How often do you hard reset? I unplug mine once every few days.
-
I had never done a hard reset in the time I had it, over a year, and when my games started crashing some friends told me to do one, it's working fine now.
-
Hope you had a protection policy for a new one

Bump.
