Ditto. It's a widespread issue with Alpha peeps right now. It's being investigated.

So that's the reason why every party crashed yesterday and today. Bloody annoying.

Meanwhile, on PS4..
The interface will still be faster, have fewer ads and be easier to navigate what you meant?
I believe so. I'm in alpha ring and was in a party last night for a couple hours with no crashing/disconnection.
I've got a Quest for Windows Sonic.
Tried with my Astronomy A50s and not noticing much of a difference. I am guessing the amp is superseding the Software on the Xbox.
Anyone tried using this with wired headphones (connected to the controller for example)?
For what it's worth, on Windows 10 CU, Windows Sonic doesn't seem to do anything for me and my headphones (HD598's) either. If it's doing anything, I can't tell. Maybe it's bugged, or it only works under certain conditions?.
I can definitely hear a difference on Xbox. Even the Xbox menu navigation beeps sound different.
What's your set up and how do you connect your headphones?
Headphones plugged into the Xbox headset adapter connected to my controller.
Toggling Windows Sonic on makes the menu beeps sound echoey or "wider". Not sure if it helps with games or not.
Wow, forced updates in the middle of your game are still a thing? I thought they fixed that forever ago.
Was just in the middle of a multiplayer game and my Xbox decided "fuck you, it's time to update."
I'll never understand why they did it that way. It's so ass backwards.
Man missing snap TV .. would love to be doing laps in one of my racing games while watching the draft.... sucks.
Also is there a way to copy music to the Xbox or play from a USB drive?
Some of my games stutter during music streaming
What are the circumstances where that happens? I've been in the preview program since the beginning and I've never been interrupted for an OS update.
For all Xbox OS updates - whether in preview or retail - there's a time lag between the time an update is released, and the time where that update becomes mandatory.
For customers in retail, that time lag is usually multiple weeks. Everyone who uses Standby gets it pretty quickly, while everyone else who doesn't use Standby will get non-mandatory prompts to do it sooner.
For example, when you go to turn off your console (not standby), the console will often ask "Hey there's an update available, why not do it now instead of just shutting down your console?"
If you're in preview, that time lag is much shorter - usually just a couple of days. If you use Standby, again you'll get the update pretty quickly without realizing it. But otherwise it's much more likely to see the mandatory update prompt interrupt something.
If you don't want mandatory update prompts interrupting whatever you're doing, you should enable Standby and make sure your console remains connected while in standby.
Man the Alpha update yesterday took FOOORRREEEEEVVVVEEERRRRR.
It was stuck at 88% for like, 20 minutes. I was afraid it was bricked, but eventually it ticked to 89% and then slowly completed.
I was worried.
Lots of new Quests too. And a $.99 Groove month, that's nice.

WTF xbox, whats going on?
Cortana is still not available in Canada.

Why the hell is the Amazon video app such a piece of crap?
Compared to a fire TV stick it's ridiculous to use.
Come on Amazon support this platform
The menus and navigation are bad, but what really upsets me is how fast-forward and rewind have three steps, and they're all set to frustration speed. Either I'm going too slow at the first step or way too fast at the next two. I dread using it as much as I can dread using a video streaming app.
Well then, that really does explain a lot. The audio glitches in the dashboard have been awful, and there is little to no change in the sound. It sounds like normal simulated surround to me, if not a little worse.So apparently Windows Sonic for Insider peeps has been broken. The public release works for games, but the Insider build hasn't.

That explains a lot. Waiting on that update.
And the Dolby Access app is just now available to me, but I get an error when I try to start my 30-day trial.
Yeah, it's odd that they haven't better communicated that this feature is broken for Insiders. And the software team must've received a bunch of worthless quests or surveys on Windows Sonic - I know that I filled it out with was a massive shrug. The feature pretty much got sent out in the public build without ever properly being tested by Insiders.Well then, that really does explain a lot.

arhra, have you seen any word on when this might be fixed for alpha insiders?
I sure as hell hope when Scorpio releases they still allow the Xbox voice commands.
Cortana sucks... way too many misses and way too much lag between media requests and responses
Xbox command works perfectly and quickly.
No idea. I'm not even sure that is is broken for alpha ring users - one of the PMs on the team responsible for it has been posting to reddit
Xcom 2 is already on Xbox One but I think they are bringing Xcom 2 to Windows 10 store and you can access the game hub for either PC or console.Clarification at E3?
I think this is the thread for it,....
Did you guys try out Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos for headphones yet?
I tried it out and for me Windows Sonic clearly wins it. I get a very bad sounding tinny effect with Atmos. Tried lots of games and it sounds like i am in bathroom with Atmos and with Windows Sonic it sounds fine. I'd say the surround effect is probably slighly better with Atmos but that tinny sound is just bad.
Dolby Atmos App
Following its April debut for Windows 10 PCs, the Dolby Access app will be available soon on your Xbox One and Xbox One S. This app enables Dolby Atmos audio, creating sound that flows around you, even overhead, through Dolby Atmos enabled AVRs and sound bars. With an additional store purchase, Dolby Atmos for Headphone enables this same immersive experience on almost any set of headphones.
The experience delivers breakthrough audio that takes you deeper inside your favorite games, movies, and TV shows. For gamers, a robust slate of native Dolby Atmos titles are coming to Xbox One later this year. Additionally, the upmixing capabilities of Dolby Atmos will create a more immersive audio experience for your existing multichannel games.
Thanks to your invaluable feedback, we continue to make improvements and updates. There will be more updates over the coming months; we plan to build and expand Arena on Xbox Live in both the Arena experience and participating titles. Please keep your feedback coming and stay tuned for more.

You already have atmos enabled? i thought that feature wasn't available yet until they announce it. Something like we would download an app to learn about atmos which will then enable the atmos codec to work properly.
edit:
I'm ring 3 and i downloaded the Dolby Access app yesterday. I did a write up of my tests yesterday:

I am just a standard user and I was able to download the App and the Headphones addition last night.
(Didn't have a chance to test it though)
:O !!!!
I think i tried a couple days ago and my last update was on the 16th. i forget which ring im on, but i know im not on the last one. I'll look at it again and see if i can get the app and change my sound output to Atmos.
Let us know if you hear the bathroom sound as well. If it sounds tinny in games. And to think that this app is just a trial, after the trial they want you to pay for it. Well hell no, not like this. Windows Sonic is so much better.
