Audio throughput for external devices

Hi there,

Got an absolute doozy of a suggestion for the product team: Would it be possible to expand what devices are recognised as audio input so I can listen to records while playing Xbox?

I'm sure I'm in the minority these days but I still use my Xbox as a media centre. I quite like how intuitive it is to mix audio from a CD with game audio. It'd be amazing if it could be the metaphorical "single pane of glass" for these analogue external devices as well.

The current audio setup I'm working with is:

Xbox Series X -> HDMI -> TV -> 3.5mm jack -> Monitors

And then if I want to listen to a record I'll just switch it to

AT-LP60XUSB -> 3.5mm jack -> Monitors.

The issue here is that you only get one or the other (as well as having to play around with cables and switching devices on and off multiple times)

What my target experience would be is:

AT-LP60XUSB -> USB-B to USB-A -> Xbox Series X -> HDMI -> TV -> 3.5mm jack -> Monitors

Poking around in the Xbox settings, I can see there's a lot of similar audio settings to what I'd use in Windows to get the same effect (turn on microphone monitoring and mix accordingly). From what I understand, there's a whole bunch of restrictions on the system which block users from connecting USB headsets (I mean I guess it makes sense if it's connected to your controller, but I don't see the point of these restrictions on the console itself).

I'm sure there's a few other people with similar setups out there who just want to play Skate or Powerwash Simulator while listening to their favourite LP or cassette. Liberate the USB ports! Analogue forever!
