have you guys been having any issues with chat headsets? the chat/game volume won't separate with the volume controls. every time i try to decrease the game volume to hear the chat it also decreases the chat volume, so it's useless. you guys experiencing the same thing? using the first party xbox one stereo headset.

I use Turtle Beaches and I have the same issue...I wish I knew of a fix.

I don't even hear the chat via my adapter/headset. I got a Monster Purity HD, the guy I chat with hears me fine.. Console sound is fine. Strange stuff.

Sounds like the chat channels are kind of borked. I thought it might be because of the preview since the headset is new... but it sounds like there are a lot of quirks. :/

My headset has been this way since I got the adapter, the week it came out.

It's not broken, it's just designed in a stupid and confusing manner. The controls on the left adjust the balance between chat and game audio. You press the lower button and chat gets louder, and the game gets quieter. Press the top button and the opposite happens. The controls on the right are for the overall volume, affecting both chat and game audio.

I have no idea what they were thinking with this, as there isn't any way to tell what balance you currently have, you've simply got to play with it until it seems correct to you. It'll beep when it's at the limit of either direction. Which in your guys case is almost certainly fully tilted to game audio right now.

This has been happening for a while now and was wondering if others experience the same thing.

When going back to the dashboard form a game the dashboard sometimes moves all over the place. Like there's someone mashing the buttons on the controller.

I have had this just since the last update. I also have it lock up on me. I am unable to move the selected window for several seconds.

It's exactly how the Astro A50's work. There's no way to tell how loud you have it or the balance until you hit the ends or middle. You just have to fiddle with it until you have it to your liking.

sometimes commands don't execute and then get all done at the same time, so it looks like the dash is freaking out. It's a lag thing.

I thought so too, but the number of actions never match the number of buttons pressed during that period. It also happens when I don't press any buttons, outside of the guide button of course, at all.
 
Anyone else having issues with achievement notifications not popping? I'm getting the achievements after the fact but ever since they supposedly implemented that fix to make us get the achievements that didn't pop, they're no longer showing up on screen when I get them. Already tried a hard reset too.

Maybe this is thing Microsoft can do to improve the X1 controller? Here's a link to Xbox's feedback site where users can vote on features that Microsoft looks into and might add later. Just have to sign in like you do on xbox.com http://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/25...828-please-update-controller-to-fix-dead-zone

I'm getting "Page not found"

Also, I happened on this xbox gamma fix request by JuicyBaNaNamaN for the Xb1:

Please fix the gamma for HDMI

Maybe some of you can try and get it on twitter, and other forums.

Am I the only one who want Miracast support for Xbox One? Can we put that in requested feature list

Holy shit the new YouTube app is amazing. I can finally browse channels to find playlists.

So good. Best surprise ever.

EDIT: Never mind. Apparently you can only access the latest 11 playlists on a channel. Dumb restriction.

Hopefully soon. Want that friend tab.

I'm in the beta and even I still don't have the friend's tab! I have the new share/like functionality in the legacy friends area, but I still do not have the new tab. It is hilarious how Microsoft has been handling the preview program where they now aren't even including everyone in the preview program within the preview of the functionality. Maybe they should have not been so liberal with their distribution of the program invites...

There must be some secret ranking among the beta users, to decide who gets to try the new features... I want to know my score ! :p
