New Sounds

all right then , they are stomped on . not kidding , i just received them from Ebay and they cost something like $14 and change so they get no more of my time , instead i'm waiting for my money to arrive in Paypal so i can get a set of Turtle Beach X41's
i think.thanks for your advice . concider it taken.

I don't like some of the new sounds, but what I really don't like is the spatial audio, or at least, that there's no way to turn it off.

Spatial audio is amazing in games, but in menus it's just annoying IMO, especially if you're gaming with headphones on. For example, if I open the guide and go to my friends list, as I scroll down the audio is panned all the way to the left. Why??? What
purpose does this serve?

So yeah, if they add an option to turn off the spatial aspect I'll be fine with it, even though I think some of the new sounds are pretty naff.

I didn't even notice there was a change of this audio problem.... if you could even call it a problem. I didn't even notice any change of audio at all too. And I'm quite young so pick up things which older people may not. So if person b thinks it last a
millisecond, you'd have to have abnormally heightened hearing sensors to conclude a millisecond new sound to be a major apocalypse.

However you can just go into settings and turn off certain or all notification settings. Or you can turn off the volume to your TV/headphones/speakers briefly. Or turn on your favourite music which should distract you from a millisecond beep sound. There
will be another update coming next month. I wonder what surprises it will have installed for us. Maybe do a YouTube video of it. You may get a laugh from the replies from your viewers, and then even that may lighten you up.

Granted the software on Xbox One is by far not the best. If it were good enough they wouldn't have to update the thing every month. It's basically a half baked OS which is trying too hard to be Windows 10 rather than an Xbox OS like Xbox 360. But your complaint
is appreciated. If you kept everything bottled up, others wouldn't know if anything was wrong.

Unfortunately they do not participate/read on here, even though this site is operated by them. You may have better luck posting about your issue here:
https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/363186--new-ideas not only is this site operated by them, they actually read the stuff we write, on that site. I've tried it a few times, and
ended up in all occasions getting what posted there, received, through the Updates. If you want extra attention, post in CAPS, use !! more liberal, and add some pictures. I know they now let you post memes and pictures on here (which can appeal to the younger
audience).

Hope they fix your issue next month or the month after.

May I suggest that you stop playing the dashboard game and play actual games, I know your after the spend 20 hours on the dashboard achievement, but it will come with time. If you play actual games like CoD or SoT then you wont hear the new sounds.

Just saying.................

I thought the spacial audio on the menues was just me.
