Xbox One: Listen to music while playing - Here's how
If you want to listen to music on your Xbox One while playing, this only works with a small limitation. We'll show you exactly how to do this.
Xbox One: Play and listen to music
Unfortunately, the private music can only be heard via the docked media player. This means that only a small but very important part of the screen is lost.
- Start the game you want and double-click the View button on the Xbox One controller.
- Select the media player on the right and then start a song from a USB stick or other medium.
- Double-click the view button again and dock the music player on the left or right side.
- As a rule, the sound is mixed in equal parts from music and play. You can edit the ratio in the "Settings" under the category "Display & Sound" in the "Sound Mixer".
