Think the quality of voice related services on your Microsoft XBox Live is not top notch? An update could be coming soon – in November that is. XBox Live Europe’s General Manager Jerry Johnson has recently revealed that the company will be overhauling the voice communication services on XBox Live by releasing a new audio codec soon. He has noted that the original audio codec was built for a 64k connection. He says,
“It’s time for us to move on. Especially if we want to think about broadening – a crackly headset on the top of your head – not what people think of when they talk about popular entertainment.”
It is speculated that the update shall be released much around the same time as Microsoft launches Kinect – the new camera based motion-controlled gaming system. Can’t wait for that?
