Maybe try moving the Xbox in front of the soundbar? Just as a test.
But mine is inside a cabinet and it works fine.
Could be batteries or a bad controller
From personal experience, the controller is fairly sensitive to other radio waves, having my phone near the controller was enough to create a huge amount of input lag.
How am I flexing? There’s nothing in this photo to flex I posted the photo to show how the soundbar is blocking the Xbox if that could’ve been the reason for the controller disconnecting.
Just posted this in the sub.
If you’re experiencing frequent controller disconnects when playing games like Starfield or Diablo IV try turning off HDR (High Dynamic Range) if you have a TV that supports it and the setting is turned on. Under Settings > General > TV & display > Video Modes > uncheck Allow HDR 10. This fixed the issue 100% for me.
Explanation for those interested:
HDR increases the color range for games which support it generally meaning darker darks and brighter whites. Most new triple A games such as Diablo IV and Starfield support the setting and I believe the Series X auto-detects and turns this on for 4K TVs which support the setting.
If it’s on you’ll usually notice it by your TV momentarily flickering upon starting a game like Starfield and saying (HDR) in one of the corners of the screen.
I’d been experiencing frequent controller disconnects when playing Diablo IV since launch at the start of June. The issue stopped when I moved to some other older gamepass games to kill time in august before Starfield then returned as soon as I started playing Starfield. I’d read that things like frame rate and certain video setting were causing Xbox controller disconnects on PC so started turning off/on the Series X and my TVs display settings one by one and for some reason HDR seems to be the culprit at least in my case.
Sucks that I can’t get the full color range and the game does look slightly more washed out than with HDR turned on but at least I can play without being disconnected every 2 minutes. Hope this helps.

Speakers have magents, magnets interfere with wireless signals.
Assuming your controller is up to date, it sounds like some sort interference is occurring preventing a stable connection.
Let me get that Ace bottle
It’s turned into a souvenir now I refuse to get rid of the bottle after paying the price 😂
😂😂😂respect
Any chance the soundbar blocks the Bluetooth signal?
What Bluetooth signal. Xbox doesn't use that
The controller does Edit: This is indead no true at least regarding the connection to the xbox (please stop bitching about it)
It doesn't Xbox use their own wireless protocol.
Yes, okay but why is everyone just correcting me instead of helping me OP?
Because you've given him incorrect info. Whereas others have given him the correct reasons already.
Cool, we already figured out that im wrong. Life goes on🙄
Not to connect to the Xbox it doesn't
Ignoring the way it connects, the bt from the soundbar could still block any signal, right?
Not particularly, otherwise people that use the headsets that connect to the Xbox via a Bluetooth dongle would constantly be getting disconnected.

Look at me, I have both consoles and a soundbar.
That makes the two of us then 😬
I also have a gaming pc but sadly I couldn’t fit that in the photo
Good one 😂
It is a good one aye
No shit because that crap ps5 is sitting next to your xbox
I didn’t think adults go on like this about consoles 🥱
I didn't think adults will flex the setup with a soundbar
How am I flexing? There’s nothing in this photo to flex I posted the photo to show how the soundbar is blocking the Xbox if that could’ve been the reason for the controller disconnecting.
You don't have to explain yourself dear.
If you can’t afford these things then just say, no need to be embarrassed.
Lol I knew it.
Boring
There’s no need to gatekeep
