Xbox One update preview adds new audio, Kinect options and a fix for UK TV

Xbox One owners who received a special ticket in their
inbox are already testing out next month's update, and
they've already uncovered a slew of tweaks. Beyond the
multiplayer / party system changes and Twitch
streaming we'd heard about, fans with surround sound
headphones have been pleasantly surprised by the
arrival of Dolby Digital Audio. Another new audio
choice is bitstream output, and our friends at The
Digital Media Zone have already checked it out to
confirm the expected lights are popping up on their
surround sound receivers.

Forum posters on NeoGAF has put together a list of
changes they've as well, and several media related ones
stick out. First, the 50Hz compatibility problem that
plagued some European TV viewers using the HDMI
passthrough has been fixed. Other tweaks include a
check box to disable Kinect hand gestures while
watching a video (which would often accidentally
recognize casual movements and put an icon on the
screen), and the ability to change how much the volume
changes when commanded by Kinect. Hit the thread for
the full list, while everyone else waits until March 11th
for the update to arrive.
