Problems that are already known

It is our understanding that some of these issues were listed in the previous Xbox Insider release notes. These items aren’t being ignored, but it will take Xbox engineers more time to find a solution.

Audio

• There have been reports that users are experiencing audio problems intermittently across all dashboards, apps, and games. Check your firmware for any issues you may have. If you’re unsure, you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.
  • Notes: If you continue to experience issues after applying the latest firmware updates, please submit feedback via Report a Problem immediately with the “Reproduce with advanced diagnostics” option, then select the category “Console experiences” and “Console Audio Output Issues”. Please include as many details as possible.
    • When was the problem first raised?
    • Is the audio only in your game/app, or is it also system audio?
    • Is it possible to fix the problem by changing the format of the audio? How did the previous and new formats compare?
    • Rebooting the computer fixes this issue.
    • What is your set-up? Equipment, layout, etc.
    • You can also provide additional information to try and reproduce the error.

Networking

• Reports indicate that consoles may not boot up to the network correctly. If you experience this, be sure to report the issue via Report a Problem as soon as you’re able.
