Moving from the old Xbox Experience to the New hasn’t been all lollipops and sugarplums for some users. After upgrading to the new hotness, a small group of HDMI-equipped people experienced a total loss of sound. While the bug made playing Two Worlds bearable, many weren’t so happy that they couldn’t hear their favorite videogames or Netflix movies.

Tomorrow (February 3) Microsoft will distribute a global patch. Nelson stressed patience as it rolls out, but we all know that’s something most of the Xbox Live community doesn’t have.
