    Is there a way to make audio levels more consistent across games and apps?


    So we use the Xbox for a lot of different things, but one persistent problem is that apps like Hulu, or Netflix will be at a different volume than each other and also a (often VERY) different volume than my games. This means that when I switch between applications
    I almost always have to tweak the volume to something more or less appropriate (and often by a LARGE amount). Is there a place where I can set the volume ONCE for all of these different applications? And if not: why? It's not like the Kinect isn't sitting
    there with a battery of microphones aimed at my living room. So why couldn't the console make use of this kind of information? Why is it that I have to shout at Cortana to lower the volume all the time?

    I am hoping that someone can please tell me that there is just a setting in the dashboard that I have been overlooking all these years?

    And if not, I have a suggestion of something for you to work on... Is there a way to make audio levels more consistent across games and apps? :)

    Cheers,

    :)

    Avatars on the Xbox one anytime soon?

    While I know there are many out there that would like to see their avatars have a more prominent role in the Xbox One home screen, the Xbox team has a lot more to work on before avatars make there way back into the home screen. (In my opinion)

    Here is a few things that I believe that need addressing immediately

    Consistent Achievement Unlocks

    Themes! Both game themes as well as unique themes

    Voice Messages!

    A more stable party system

    More Gamer pictures, both game and unique

    [quote user="Murderstyle75"]But what about the millions more who don't care about online gaming?[/quote]A well-supported, consistent user interface across all media apps. So far, be it Amazon, Netflix, HBO Go, or Crunchyroll, the apps have a consistency
    to them that I don't find on other alternatives.
    So now what if they decide to leave due to all the unreasonable restrictions tied to the console?
    It does not seem as if that is the case.

    Halo Infinite Won't Launch on Xbox App or Steam

    Adding detail that it consistently crashes when the loading bar is about 1/3 of the way across the screen.

    Xbox DVR on PC not recording audio

    kaestina,

    On your Xbox App, go to Settings, and near the bottom under Audio make sure that is turned on with whatever quality level you want.

    Thank you!!

    The Youtube app was just updated by Google, they made that design consistent across platforms. So you are stuck with that. Sounds like Netflix is doing something similar.

    Please bring back "Netflix Party with Friends" on Xbox One!!!!

    The customer service agents take down suggestions from people. Unless you wee talking to someone in the level of a vice president, they dont make policy, and they dant declare interest. Netflix parties are not returning, and Netflix is interested in a consistant
    experience across apps.

    We all liked it, but like 1 vs 100 its not sustainable, in this case on a single platform. Netflix is responsible for thier app, Microsoft only developed the first version of it, and so they put Xbox features inbecause it was exclusive. Once Netflix went
    over it was removed as soon as they did a major revison (source, friend who used to work for netflix)
