The ability to set voice chat through speakers or headset on Xbox One

The Issue

Since Xbox 360's release, there has always been an option (if chosen to) to enable voice chat to either - Play Through Headphones - Play Through Speakers - Play Through Both.

Any entertainers on YouTube, Twitch, or anyone who just wants to record game and voice chat, would choose Speakers (or both) so when a capture card records the footage, chat and game would play through. On the Xbox One however, with the new 'headset connected to controller' method, Microsoft have seen no need to add the Play Through Speakers option, thus resulting in no recording voice chat ability. The only way one can record Xbox One chat is by buying extra wiring, splitters etc, which isn't a 100% chance of working.

The Xbox One has been out for WAY over a year now and it still doesn't have this simple feature added, which isn't only a pain for people who record gameplay and need chat, but is also driving many players away from Xbox and onto their competitors who already have this feature.

We, the gaming community, want this feature added so we can continue to record using your console. After all, how would we record funny moments?
