Xbox One will not turn on with voice command

My xbox has been really accurate with voice controls. I can even control it from another room with out shouting. It worked fine but it slowly started not recognizing "xbox turn on" more and more. What's worse is about 50% of the time that it was failing
it also would not turn on with the controller as well. Overall a nuisance but when trying to sell the concept to your wife.... a big fat fail. I have reprogrammed Kinect settings multiple times. No luck. It will do everything by voice but turn on.

Xbox One "Xbox On, Xbox Off" commands not working

Darklord just check through it here to make sure.

Xbox Mute needs to be sent twice to Samsung HW E350

hi there, i have the same problem with my xbox one s. The samsung hwd450 sound bar does not turn on with xbox on command. also mute takes two voice commands to work

 

1: Push the console power button for 5-10 seconds until I turns off

2: Unplug the power cord from the console - (has to be from the console)

3: Wait 30 seconds

4: Plug back in and power up console with button

Should hopefully be working okay now. If not let us know

We should hopefully see this issue fixed when we start seeing updates rollout. Mine also does this from time to time

 

Just to add to the above, the command is "Xbox on" not "Xbox turn on"

Exactly what Eggs just said.

I also notice that o have to be significantly closer to the Kinect for the "Xbox on" command to wake it up. Possibly by design. Although, I can practically whisper it at that point.

 

Mine has been hit or miss. Sometimes it will work perfect - sometimes I start chuckling when I hear my wife screaming at it then it sort of degrades from there to "Xbox - your stupid! "

 

Quite embarrassing that this "main" feature is like this. 95% of the time mine wont work at all. System is the butt of allot of jokes around here im afraid.

 

This has never worked for me, not once. Just completed an entire system reset and am re-downloading my games and apps as I type. We'll see if it gets better but my guess is this is a bug or bad hardware.

 

The initial setup you did when you got your xbox one is kind of important. You need to set your tv volume how it suggests along with other things for the mic to pick up what you say properly.

 

@adrenaline. No offense but I would suspect most have done an adequate to an insane amount of calibration and still it wont work. I'm not sure why some think if there setup works, then all else must have done something wrong on there end. Like myself,
re-calibration is and has been done more times than I can even remember and the results yield no better each and every time. It's due time MS admits there is an issue, talk about it and tell us when there will be a fix for it. Frankly im getting tired of the
teleprompter replies and the smoke and mirrors. This issue is real and its high time MS steps up and fixes it.

 

@DiZees, you're not an Aussie, are you?. The "xbox on" command is not available for those who have their region set to Australia (I guess this is also for any other Aussie that may read this thread and not know)

 

@Bobby, nope, in the middle of the Arizona desert.

Been through setup multiple times, on phone support w/ MS for 3 hours - will probably get the Kinect replaced but they don't cross-ship so trying full factory reset tonight before going without kinect for several weeks.

 

DiZees if you read around these forums you will see many of us have had this problem. One of many that you can`t beat yourself up on, it just doesn`t work. I have had mine for a month, countless hours of recalibrating, changing cables, resetting this and
that. It`s actually does less now, than before. Many have had consoles replaced, Kinect replaced, still nothing works. We are waiting for something to happen to this failure from MS. I guess they figure they have our money, so what. Good luck and let us know
if you have any success

 

Now this is a first. After weeks of recalibrating and 100`s of "Xbox on" being done from all over the house, I finally got it to work for the first time. I sat in the chair I normally do, in front of the tv, and used a loud whisper. I know that sounds weird,
but it actually, finally, came on. Just thought I would share another strange thing to do, to make this thing work a little. Good luck everyone.
