weird bug with party chat messages

Currently there is a bug that is affecting users in different ways. For me, if I open a Party Chat, my tv volume drops down almost 10 notches. If I turn off Party Chat and use in game (while still in a party or not) my volume is fine.

It's weird. Microsoft is looking into at the moment. I'm sure they'll figure it out soon enough..

I hated voice messages and am glad that they've been removed (or haven't been re-added). If Voice Messages are brought back, please give people the ability to DISABLE sending/receiving voice messages. I hated having to stop everything I was doing to listen
to a slow and long voice message. The new text messaging does exactly that now unless you're in a party chat.

I don't want ANYONE sending me voice messages!

But I agree, please fix the bugs with Party Chat and make 'Party Chat' default when you create or join a party. No more 'Turn On Party Chat' after joining.

It's weird, my mic works for party chat, it works for recording messages, works for talking to Cortana. It won't however work with game chat! No matter what game I'm in it shows that a mic is hooked up but the icon won't flash when i talk into it.

I've checked to make sure I'm not in a party and I'm not. Something is up Microsoft needs to fix this.

Good to hear, I hope you guys get all of the bugs worked out so we can have the dedicated party chat servers and Voice Messages in April still.

The party and game invite system sucks. You basically have to let the party do it for you. Which is lame. Party chat sucks also. If you're not playing the same game as someone else, party chat gets weird. It'll keep saying "Cannot connect to party chat".
