Treyarch has announced that the new feature will go live when Season 2 starts at 9 a.m. Pacific (12 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. UK) on January 28.

The problem that affects some audio devices might occur if your hardware uses an outdated USB 1.0 audio driver. Systems experiencing this issue won’t be able to playback audio through such devices. However, Microsoft is working on resolving the bug. In the interim, users can prevent the problem by refraining from connecting an external Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) during setup. Instead, connect your audio device directly to the PC to work around the issue.

Starting at 12:00 AM Pacific Time on January 29th, the Ranked Play matchmaking has been temporarily shut down. This means that your position on the leaderboard is final for this season and you won’t be able to advance any further until Season 2 begins. The playlists buttons have also been disabled, so you’re unable to enter or accidentally join the mode at this time.
