i made an official feature request for this, as i hadn't seen one yet.
somebody mentioned that the 2005-05 build still has this enabled, but i couldnt get it working.
just thinking out loud here for easy fixes.
is there any way i can enable the mic when any music or video is playing, through advancedsettings.xml or something?
would it be possible to have a blank .cdg file, and name it a wildcard *.cdg and then xbmc would say "hey a .cdg is present" and have the mic on all the time?
or would there be a way to make a python script that would enable the mic + filters all the time?
i'm not a coder, so i don't really know what i'm talking about, but it seems that XBMC is just checking to see if a same named .cdg file is present, and if it is then it enables the mic. is there a way to bypass this check somehow?
i thought i read somewhere that mic use is hardcoded to .cdg files somehow. personally, i think this is a waste of a versatile input to your xbox. all this time has been spent adding voice filters/etc and you are only able to use it on .cdg files.
here is a similar thread i found:
