Audio passthrough functionality problems?

why blame bill gates when he has nothing to do with the company these days and only owns a fraction of Microsoft now.

when the xbox one launched there was no bluetooth in the console, there was no bluetooth in the controllers.

bluetooth came to the controllers from the s model up and that was to connect to pc or phone, that bluetooth functionality was for connection only, no audio passthrough.

the only way your going to get audio passthrough via the controller on pc is have it hardwired.

whats the point of bluetooth audio passthrough, if your using on a pc then you have many options to connect bluetooth headphone, headsets etc, same goes for mobile.

Jippie - fixed the problem.

I think it has to do with a configuration update microsoft did.

The solution is simple. Go to your audio settings and disable the "audio passthrough" option, After doing so, not turn off the xbox, but really to a cold boot. So keep the on-off button pressed for a couple of seconds.

After the cold boot, you need to turn the "audio passthrough" function on again. Please, hang on. You will receive a pop-up asking for a extra confirm and a confirm for the blue-ray app (to ask if you want the same thing there).

tada, everything works again on my side.

blueray, netflix etc are in atmos again.

Geri,

I have the same issue on my Xbox Series X. Audio passthrough works perfectly fine with Disney+, Amazon Prime and Plex. When it comes to Netflix, it doesn't activate passthrough creating audio problems while playing Atmos content. The titles display Dolby Atmos, but there is no voice, only background music and sounds are played.

Ok, I actually decided to revisit this thread. According to the "official" response, 1080i isn't supported because it can make the HDMI passthrough signal look a little "blurry".

Rather than giving people 1080i and providing a little warning when the mode is chosen, what we have here is Microsoft hobbling their system for a massive number of people for what is essentially a secondary function of the console. I don't even have anything
plugged into HDMI passthrough due to it's inability to passthrough all the audio formats.

the controller has to be hardwired for audio to work as the xbox controller bluetooth does not allow audio passthrough.
