Just in case anyone is also experiencing this issue, it is apparently known.

It literally drove me crazy the past hour today (wish I Googled it first) and I have had to disconnect my cable box and run it straight to my receiver.

 

It is when you Watch TV through the One, you here a cracking (I believe it is called clipping) and mine was just incredibly annoying. Like every 2 seconds annoying. It was affecting basically all medium frequency sounds, so was primarily affecting my two front surround speakers.

 

Hope they fix it soon.

Yeah, I am also facing the same issue. As per their "issues" in the release notes they have fixed this and will release with the final version. This release is in the" known issues" section of preview dashboard

An 8.8 MB update has been released which removes the friend invite option from the registration app.

 

Closing this topic until it returns (if ever).

 

Edit: this is such a frickin' mess MS have created. If you have the Preview Dashboard app (not the Registration app), please confirm if you can still invite friends or not.

Can one leave this preview program if they want to? Is it as simple as just uninstalling the Preview App?

You have the option within the app to opt out of the program, and you can also set yourself back in the program, it appears.

Have not been able to confirm this for myself yet but a buddy of mine in an email said they actually removed the opt out and ability to invite people in the latest version of the Preview app. Will check it out when I get home unless someone can confirm it sooner than later (I just got to work, so a good 8-10 hours before I can check).

they haven't removed the ability to invite, or to opt out. I just checked in the preview dashboard app. they also released a fix yesterday that fixes the audio static issue for those who have it.

 

So you have the dashboard app with quests, submit feedback options etc, and you can invite?

 

Cause they've definitely removed the option from the registration app along with the opt out button. Happens regardless if you are on '08 or '09.

Not everyone has access to it. See my post on the last page about MS screwing up the process even more than it already was.

Yeah that's the dashboard app. Only a selection of testers have it (N)

Going to be even more upset if I am in that selection of testers that does not have it.

I want out of this program ASAP. Going to be the first thing I do when I get home.

Two updates in a row they messed up Watch TV for me.

If I lived on my own would not be a big deal.

If my mother did not come by my house everyday to let my dog out, it would not be a big deal.

But others rely on turning on the TV and it working in my household besides me, so I just want a stable easy experience.

If i can opt out I will.

If they fixed the audio cracking I may consider going back, but now I have to set up everything again as I had to reset it cause the One was still turning everything on and off even though I was not using it for TV, so probably just going to stick to it as I have it now.

weird, didn't know not everyone has it. I don't think ive ran into anyone on my friends list who I've invited who doesn't have it.

 

It's all over the forums, so definitely not a one off. Have a friend on '09 who only has the registration app too so not related to dash build.

 

Sooner we're all pushed to 09 now 08 is public, the better.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years

      Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows 11 gets big performance upgrade, shared audio support, and more in new update

      By mrp04 · Posted

      Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
