To bad your Xbox one sucks, it doesn't even detect voice.


You should really contact Microsoft about that, you're console is probably defective.

This is a really good thing for them to do. I don't personally like the games but the background and gamer picture will be good to have.

Looks like your console is defective, cause I've never had a problem with mine not detecting my voice.
