xbox Discord Voice – Soundboard Audio

Yesterday, Xbox rolled out a series of new features and bug patches to the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, Build 2408.240318-2200. What caught our attention was the Discord Voice – Soundboard Audio feature.

The official description read,

Xbox players who have joined Discord Voice will now be able to hear soundboard audio from others in the channel or call. A mute button for soundboard audio can be found in the Discord Voice options in the Guide. At this time, you cannot trigger soundboard audio from the console.

Soundboard lets users play pre-recorded short audio clips, often used to express emotions. It enhances the fun element in calls. And with Soundboard coming to Xbox, you should be in for an exciting ride!

Also, Xbox has introduced a mute button for anyone not in the mood for some playful or weird sounds.

The only problem we see right now is that players on the Xbox console can’t trigger soundboard audio. But with Xbox making strides, extensively introducing new features and enhancing the existing ones, you should, most likely, be able to prompt soundboard audio in future updates.

Details for the update introducing Discord Voice – Soundboard Audio:

  • OS Version: XB_FLT_2408GE\26085.1502.240318-2200
  • Available: 2 P.M. PT – 20 March’24
