Microsoft finally patches Xbox 360’s HDMI issues

A bug that prevented audio signals from being delivered from the Xbox 360 to users receivers/TVs via HDMI has been a huge burden to many people since the issue cropped up with the installation of the NXE update in mid-November, but Microsoft apparently didn’t deem it necessary to address the issue let alone release a patch. Well here we are over two months later and we see that Microsoft has finally decided to come around and push out an official patch to solve the problem. We’re not sure what kept Redmond from remedying the issue sooner but when 360 owners got fed up enough to come to us for help, Microsoft apparantly saw the light. Needy little things those 360 users, aren’t they? The nerve – wanting audio for their video games… It all goes to show that when in doubt, Help Me Howard BGR is on your side.

    Are you fucking serious? BGR was quite possibly the LAST site to report on the issue. It’s just a coincidence that the patch was released soon after your post. Microsoft confirmed the issue back in December & said back then that they were working on a fix.

    It is called a videogame, not an audio/videogame so maybe asking for audio is a bit much. be happy with what you have.

    Downloaded the update last night. I had not been affected by the no-audio-bug… until I installed the update. Now, no audio. Awesome. Thanks a lot for the “fix”, Microsoft.
