Looks like the update that came out today fixed the audio issues I was seeing after launch cinematics completion. I basically had no audio starting at the “Press A to Start” cinematics. Now things are back to normal.
Version is now 1.397.978.0
I see on PC there’s an Xbox app and Gaming Services update as well. I wonder if they have anything to do with it. I didn’t personally have problems on PC but others did so I hope this fixes it for everyone and doesn’t break anything else!
edit - all fine here and also the weird new loading screen which appeared with the previous update has now gone.
new update today when i got home from work, everybody can go back to their normal settings again!
