Microsoft has been quick at resolving users complaints for the Xbox One, with near-monthly updates for the console, Microsoft so far has reintroduced friend notifications, a much needed feature that the console lacked at launch and made vital improvements to the party system.
This month, the Xbox team will be adding two new options to the Display & Sound option under the Settings app. The first will allow users to control the volume of snapped applications.

The second option is a Chat mixer which will allow you to turn down other sounds while talking with the Kinect.

Here’s the change list from the Xbox Preview Forums:
Improvements and Fixes
• Updates to help address issues where Game DVR clips may be recorded without audio.
• Underlying OS changes required to enable planned 1405 features.
New Additions
• Snap and Kinect Audio Controls. We know you loved the brief view of the UI for this feature in the last wave, but it wasn’t quite ready. It’s now ready for everyone to give it a go! Adjust the volume differences between apps when you have one open in Snap, or adjust how much softer the audio is made when using Kinect for communication.
• Opt-In to help us improve Speech Recognition. We’re always looking to make Kinect Voice Recognition more accurate, and the more voices we have to fine tune our algorithms, the better it can be! As such, we’ve added an option under Settings> Privacy & Online Safety> Customizing privacy and online safety titled Share Voice Data. Setting this to “Allow” will allow us to use your voice data to make Kinect Voice Recognition better.
• Test the System Update button! Now that the System Update button is available, we hope you’ll put it to use as new updates become available in this Wave! Try it out, and let us know of any issues you run into.
Users who are currently in the Xbox LIVE Preview Program will be prompted to download this update the next time they turn their console on and give feedback in the Preview Forums on Xbox.com.
Microsoft promises that the update will go live to everyone sometime this month but have yet to offer a firm release date.
