Thats a very small icon down at the bottom of the screen. And easily overlooked IMHO. If you're used to the usual setup menu your not going to look down there, your just interested in answering the prompts and getting on with your setup. Especially if there is no sound to clue you in that its an assisted install.
This is definitely not the case. Very few modern desktop systems have internal speakers. I think some visual clue on the screen is a good idea. Redundant in most cases perhaps but not annoyingly so and very useful for those it would help. Think of the cases where sound doesn't work because of driver problems, not just having the speakers turned off or volume down very low.
Ah, the speakers were off, but the MIC was on. It did pick up what they were saying, he clearly stated that in the first post.
I can turn my external speakers off with the volume control on the speakers, and windows will keep sending audio out of my sound card. It has no idea they are powered off, they are still detected as plugged in.
What Microsoft did was an innocent thing.
It is easy to correct on the next build, should they so desire.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand the problem.
You're reading it. Just mute the onscreen microphone (icon) when you have to enter some settings.
Also, this link is a good walkthrough until you get to the VR point when the microphone is enabled.
