Need some advice for streaming from xbox with terrible video and audio issues.

Normally i stream from my computer but lately i've been teaming up with a console only friend who's trying to break into streaming and so we are both streaming from xbox and running into some major issues. Hopefully someone here has run into the same issues and has some advice.

We both have 50mbps upload speed and are streaming at 720 with bitrate set to automatic. The main issue is the video becomes very choppy and blocky. The audio from the party chat goes between cutting out and sounding like a dying robot.

Yet when checking out the twitch inspector it says the Configuration Check is excellent with "No recommended changes!" and says its stable.

The stream is far from stable though. I'd say 80-90% of the stream is boxy looking and pixelated. Although when i stream from pc I normally stream at 1080 and only have the occasional spots where the video glitches out if it happens at all.

The second part of the issues we are having is with the audio from the party chat. In the twich broadcast settings the "Party Chat" slider for volume is greyed out even though we are in a party and both sides have selected to allow their audio to be included.

With the slider being greyed out we are running into an issues where I can't hear myself on my stream even with my mic slider turned all the way up. My friend comes through nice and loud though and since the party can't be turned down from the greyed out twitch setting it leaves the party talking over the presenter. We have kinda gotten around it by manually turning down each party member but sometimes it seems like turning them down through the party options only turns them down in my headset and the stream still gets the party at full volume.

He is having the exact same issue but the other way around. On his stream with his mic turned all the way up in twitch with the game audio turned down and then the party audio still being greyed out and unchangeable, i come through his stream nice and loud and yet he can't be heard at all.

Then to top it off the audio cuts out and goes all robotic constantly. Between the video going all shitty and the audio randomly doing the same it leaves the stream unwatchable and can't even salvage any clips from it to turn into YT videos.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make it stream better? Is it just an issues with doing it from xbox? I'm kind of thinking it might be considering that the same issues are happening to both of us when we both have good internet through two different ISP's and normally I can stream perfectly fine to Twitch & YT from any other devices with the issues only arising when broadcasting from xbox.
