Audio settings won't change.

I just received my Astro A50s and need to finish setting them up by turning off HDMI audio which I was able to do but now I need to change the optical audio to bitstream out. Whenever I choose this option it starts loading but never gets anywhere. I've been
waiting at least an hour for it to change the setting and I don't know what to do anymore. Any ideas?

:)

 

Xbox One no surround sound on my home theater

First, try going to Settings > Display and Sound > In the middle, change the "HDMI Audio" setting to '5.1 uncompressed'.

If you still can't get 5.1 audio to your sound system, try buying an optical audio cable and plug that from the back of your xbox one into your sound system and change the settings on your sound system to use the 'Optical In' or a setting that chooses that
input. Don't forget to change the settings like the one above, but under "Optical Audio" choose "Bitstream Out" and change "Bitstream Format" to "DTS Digital Surround." The optical audio port is right between the HDMI in and out ports.
