The latest firmware update for the Nintendo Switch has just been released, bringing the system up to version 14.0.0. In this update, Nintendo has added new features to the console, including the ability to create groups on the home screen. Groups are basically updates, and users can create up to 100 of them, each with as many as 200 titles. This will help you to organize your favorite games, and will make the home screen much more organized.
Among other improvements, this update also brings Bluetooth audio support, a new Groups feature, and audio adjustments. Those who have multiple Bluetooth audio devices will be happy to know that they can adjust the volume of those devices through the control buttons.
Another major change in the update is the increase in maximum volume output for some devices. This will help prevent sudden loudness when using headphones. However, users should note that the system will only support Bluetooth A profiles.
The latest update also includes some audio changes. This will allow users to adjust the volume of music and video through the audio device. This will allow users to listen to music and videos at different volume levels. There are two ways to do this: either through the buttons on the system or through the settings menu.
