Microsoft is getting set to improve the sound quality on the Xbox 360 when you use headsets to communicate. The improvement will be included with the fall update to coincide with the launch of Kinect. Now when you communicate with your buddies via Xbox Live, everything should be much clearer. This improvement will be possible because Microsoft is going to boost the codec being used to one of much higher quality. When Xbox Live first launched in 2002, all Microsoft required was a broadband connection of 64k which seems mighty slow by today's standards but back then, it was the norm. Now with much better connections available, Microsoft is going to improve the audio codec to deliver much higher quality sound through the headsets to help eliminate all that crackling. This should help to appease the many gamers who complain of the poor audio quality during multiplayer games and help to make the Xbox 360 seem more on the cutting edge of technology.
