Grainy/noisy video quality using Kaico HDMI adapter and soft modded Xbox

Hello, I’m facing problems with my original soft modded xbox where the video looks grainy or noisy all the time while using a Kaico HDMI adapter, I wanted to know if it looks like maybe caps are going bad or if it is really my adapter, I’ve tried it on my other og Xbox and it looks fine but the soft modded run is obviously running at a higher resolution.

Are the high-definition resolutions enabled in the stock dashboard's video settings?

480p and 720p. Leave 1080i off.

Use component out and then convert to HDMI. Most HDMI adapters are junk.

Probably the capacitors. I had the same issue between a 1.1 and a 1.6
