Xbox On?

Does saying "Xbox On" work for anyone? If I get really close and say "Xbox OOooonnnnnn" sometimes I can get it to work, but it seems basically non-functional.

Sometimes works for me and sometimes doesn't. In general I've found the commands to be very flaky and inconsistent, even with calibrating it. The only one that really works without any issue is the "volume up and down" voice command.

 

Mine worked with "X Box On" before I turned the energy saver feature on; so the three times I've said it...it worked. Lol. "X Box Off...Yes" works perfect as well as the other voice commands I use.

Peace, J.R.

 

Mine works fine if the TV is not on, if I mute it first time every time. I then read you need the TV turned really loud when you do the kinetic setup which helps loads.

 

All the other voice commands work for me except that one. Volume up/down is much nicer now with yesterday's update where you can change the number "clicks" it goes up or down from 3 up to 10.

 

It worked fine for me until a couple of days ago, when it stopped responding. Then I had to use the kinect troubleshooter to reset the mike, now it works fine again...

 

Make sure you pause for a second between xbox and on.

 

I use it all the time, and never had any issues.

Try tuning it again.

 

calibrate Your kinect, make sure it's plugged in all the way.

 

I say Xbox One and it works.

 

No, calibrating it yet again doesn't work. Clearly that couldn't be the issue anyway since every other voice command works fine. It's something to do with the standby mode.
