    Audio Settings Question


    Hi folks! Quick question - is the "Headphones" setting simply stereo audio? In other words, to get Surround does it need to be set to home theater? I ask because I have Tritton AX720+ headphones which work great, but the sound was... well, sounding (where's
    my thesaurus) a bit hollow on the Home Theater setting. So, I switched to Headphone in settings, which didn't make a big difference in my party's voices, but the ambient noise (like whispers or talking from nearby NPCs) was clearer. The only thing is, I can't
    quite tell if my audio is directional or not. I would think my headphones would be matrixing a stereo signal to simulate surround, but obviously the ideal would be a Dolby signal instead of stereo.

    Thanks in advance for any input!

    :)

    Audio Setting Question

    When I choose the audio setting for my gaming head (Astro A50's) optical audio, bitstream out, dolby digital everything is great when using the Astros. When I decide I'd like to watch a Netflix movie less the Astros my HDMI audio doesn't play through the
    surround system until I change the setting back to what they were prior to setup for the Astros.

    Question is will I always switch back and forth when I want to play a game and use my Astros? Just curious since this was never an issue when I had the Tritton Warheads on my Xbox 360... it just worked.

    Thanks

    Audio Selection

    Hi Thomas,

    Thank you for coming to the forums, I'd be happy to help.

    HDMI should be the default setting for audio if using HDMI directly from the Xbox to the display. What is your audio setup?

    Either way audio settings can be found by going to Settings>Display & sound>Audio output, then there are columns for Speaker audio and Headset audio.

    Let us know what setup you use and if you have any more questions on how to get to the audio settings on Xbox One.

    Xbox One X Speaker Audio Settings Issue

    I think i answered my own question... 🤦&#55356;�‍♂️ I restarted the console and went into the audio settings, selected Bitstream for Speaker Audio, then selected the Bitstream format (Dolby Digital). This made the setting stay after exiting the menu and then
    returning.
