Xbox Series X adds a very defeated function for headphones users

This week a new Xbox Series X update was released that adds two as expected features. Now, Microsoft has revealed a feature that comes in a future update that is also very expected. In PS4 and PS5, when you connect your headphones, your TV is automatically silent. Now, you can change this so you do not do this. In other words, if you want the audio to pass through your television and your headphones simultaneously, you can have this. But most people do not want this, so it is good that not only PlayStation players have the option of mute the TV, but the default is that it is muted. In Xbox One and Xbox Series X, the default value is not because the Xbox consoles do not have options in this regard. When you put a headphones, the audio passes through the headphones and the TV. The only way to make the audio do not pass through the TV is to silence it.

It is not clear how Xbox has overlooked this for so long, but finally is addressing the problem. This week, a new Xbox Insiders update was launched that provided a new optimized audio configuration experience ... with new features such as mute audio speaker when headphones are connected; and a new page of audio tests and details ».

Now, when this update will be launched at the widest base of Xbox, we do not know. Xbox does not say it, but usually when Xbox Insiders members receive updates, these updates arrive at the general public shortly after.

In addition to this, the new update of Xbox Insiders also makes some important improvements in the field of accessibility.
