5.1 Surround Sound support

I'll try keep this as brief and concise as possible because I've tried a lot of different setups and wasted a lot of money trying out different things but I'm still having issues with surround sound compatibility. OK, quick run down of my setup...

Xbox one (obviously)

Techika 40' LED TV

Phillips surround sound unit (note: only accept phono in)

This Musou audio reciever. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01G6PW280/ref=pe_385721_51767431_TE_dp_1

So I've followed all the steps on the support page. I've changed my audio settings to surround sound. I've connected the Xbox to the receiver by HDMI, receiver to TV by HDMI, receiver to surround sound by LR phono. I've also connected S/PDIF from Xbox to
receiver.

In the audio output settings, the HDMI out settings will only accept stereo uncompressed. Selecting 5.1 gets an error message saying the reciever doesn't support it, although it is set to 5.1

Optical audio out only produces sound in stereo uncompressed, when I select bitstream out I get no error message, just no sound.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here because I seem to have exhausted everything

Xbox One S OneGuide Surround sound

Does Xbox HDMI-in support passing through LPCM 5.1 surround sound to Xbox?

 

Xbox 360 Backwards Compatible games not outputting 7.1 audio from HDMI

Hey there,

The Xbox 360 console doesn't support 7.1 surround, only 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS. Due to this, it is normal that backward compatible games are outputting 5.1 surround. On your Xbox 360 setup, it sounds you have it set up with Pro Logic IIx to simulate 7.1
surround sound, but the Xbox 360 console doesn't support true 7.1 surround sound.

Hope this helps clear it up.

 

I've fixed it. For anyone else with this issue you have to go into video settings and change the output from 'auto' to 'HDMI'.
