This is their solution so you can hear the game at the same time as voice/chat. This way the game sound doesn't get out of sync with the mobile app/chat.
This is also a very real reason separating the voice chat functionality from the console was such a bad decision. Should've made the right decision and had voice chat supported within the console.
This is far more complicated that it should be.
Maybe there will be a better version that uses bluetooth to connect the phone to the console to sync the sound. That at least would work docked and undocked as well.
