xbox one audio

The IR Blaster is in the Kinect itself, when you say "Xbox On" the Xbox turns on, and the IR codes that turn your TV, audio receiver etc. are emitted by the Kinect and turn on those devices

-

As for your audio problem, can you not just use the optical cable for your audio and the HDMI for your picture? that's what I currently use on my 360 and it works great.

Xbox kinect issue: Mic Icon is always showing

Hi, you can choose to turn certain Kinect features on or off. For example, might want to turn off the sensor, without having to unplug it. See if the following helps:

Press the Guide button on your controller, go to Settings, and then select System Settings.

Select Kinect Settings.

Select the item that you want to change.

Sensor: Turn the sensor on or off.

Chat Microphone: Turn the chat microphone on if you want to talk to players while playing a game, or if you are using Video Kinect. Learn about Video Kinect. If you turn off the chat microphone, speech recognition still works.

Note: When you are using the Kinect Guide, you can turn the chat microphone on or off by hovering your hand over the speech icon in the lower-right corner.

Speech Recognition: Turn on speech recognition if you want to use your voice to control your Xbox 360 console. Turn speech recognition off if you do not want to use voice commands (you can still use the sensor for chat). Learn about speech recognition.

Select Off or On.

No, this feature is exclusive to the xbox one console. This is one of the many features that makes the Xbox One a new gen Console.

But still, if you are having any trouble with your 360 kinect voice commands, I have this helpful link.

To play the Kinect games released on the Xbox 360, you will have to play them with an Xbox 360 console with the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor.

The Kinect Sensors are not interchangeable between consoles (you cannot use One Sensor on Xbox 360, nor a 360 Sensor on Xbox One), as both Kinect Sensors have different, proprietary Kinect plugs, and the games are specifically programmed to use the exact Kinect
sensor on the console they were released on.

as i told you before mega, kinect can not be turned all the way off, if you turn on your xbox one, pause or turn off the kinect its still "on" listening for the phrase xbox one, which means it has to listen to ALL phrases to catch it.... even if the consoles
off its still doing the same thing.... the only way to turn it completely off is to unplug it... which makes your system not work.

you can disable the Kinect completely. they've stated as much on news.xbox.com

If thats the case, why cant you unplug in from the Xbox? I can go into system settings on the 360 and turn my Kinect off and unplug it from the console and guess what happens??

The Xbox 360 works!!!!!!!

Why then on XB1 can it not work if I can turn Kinect 2.0 off? Please elighten me.

Hi there,

On the 360, you can use either the 360 Kinect or the Xbox 360 Vision camera. They are the only ones that will work with the console.

Hey there Santiago617KZ,

Thanks for the reply. I recommend trying the following article:
Turn Xbox 360 Kinect features on or off.

Chat Microphone: Turn the chat microphone on if you want to talk to players while playing a game, or if you are using Video Kinect.

Learn about Video Kinect. If you turn off the chat microphone, speech recognition still works.

Try this and let us know the results.
