10 Insane Xbox One Problems Microsoft Should Have Solved By Now

7. Sound Issues

Some of the most common persisting complaints regarding the Xbox One are related to issues with sound. The visuals only make up a part of the console experience, and the unit is still plagued with several problems in the audio department. A frequent issue is the notorious Error 0x80bd0009 that many users have reported while attempting to set up surround sound audio. Some workarounds have been posted online, involving playing around with the video output resolutions and rebooting, but it's a pain for anyone that often moves the console around. Another problem that is often reported is to do with the Xbox One headset's microphone. Thanks to high sensitivity, the microphone can have a problem with background noises; particularly fans, even if they're on the other side of the room. This can lead to annoying sounds for other players in the party, as well as the microphone then picking up on noises you might not want recorded.
