Xbox Dashboard Menu Sound Toggle request

Hello PoorBoy,

It sounds like there is a problem with the toasts/push notifications. Please try these steps and let me know if you are still having an issue:

Head to the main Settings menu on your device.

• Swipe right to Applications.

• Select Games.

• Turn off the second option, ‘Sync game requests.’ Turn it back on.

• Toggle the third option, ‘Show game notifications.’ Then turn it back on.

Thanks,

try this

open xbox dashboard

go to settings menu

select display and sound

adjust volume options

there are several options

Ben, this is interesting because what you are experiencing is a bit different/opposite of what the rest here see. You have no sound on the dashboard and sound is ok in the original game you are playing, whereas what most see seems to be no sound in 'some' games and apps, but full sound in the menu/dashboard. Having said that, I bet it has to be related. There is something about the type of sound signal coming in and out of the HDMI interface that is different for the menu and some of the apps. Hoping to hear more of what others are seeing.

I also have this no sound problem and I also have a Samsung Q80 QLED tv. But like Ben I also have no sound on the dashboard sometimes. I say sometimes because I can turn on the console and I have sound on the dashboard, play a game, finish the game and return to the dashboard, and there is no sound anymore. But if I turn on the console and there is no sound on the dashboard, there isn't going to be any sound on games either. Except for the one game I have a physical disc for. I can pop the disc in and that game has sound. But finish that game and go back to the dashboard, no sound again.

Totally agree with Locke and Morrack, a simple mapping of Menu & Back buttons in the middle of the controller to pop up a sound menu would be great.

Something to the effect of the snap menu:

[Push] <Back>&<Menu>

[Brings up]

---------------D Pad---------------

<Mute>

<Vol Dwn> <Vol Up>

<Toggle Game/Chat>

Sounds like your(or his) NAT settings aren't "OPEN". TO check go to the MP menus and you can usually see what your NAT setting is. Should say "open". If it doesn't than I suggest you google "port forwarding xbox live" or login to your router and toggle the
settings if possible.

Can't say this is your problem for sure. Just sounds kind of like it.
