Audio/Subwoofer issues/FIX

KindaGymnast352 · Jan 11, 2016

If you are having issues with getting an
output to your sub-woofer (very important for games such as Rock Band for the foot pedal drum) I may have a fix for you:

This will apply primarily if you are currently running your Xbox One via HDMI into your AV Receiver.

Connect your Xbox One directly to your TV (HDMI IN) instead of into your AV Receiver.

Connect your TV to your AV Receiver via Optical Toslink cable.

You should then have all the intended LFE sounds coming from your sub-woofer!!

DTS reverting back to Uncompressed 7.1

That's because 7.1 channels means 7 speakers +1 subwoofer. If you don't have 7 speakers then don't have it selected at 7.1 or you will lose audio.

earforce x42 or razer chimaera 5.1?

First Question:

I own a Razer Chimaera 5.1 and I am very happy with it, it's both has quality audio and is comfortable to wear.The voice can get muzzled if the game audio is set too high, which you have to correct with the ingame audio settings as the headset only has buttons
for voice and general volume.

Second Question:

With an actual surround sound set 5.1/7.1 are the amount of speakers+subwoofer which it consists of. With surround sound headsets 5.1/7.1 are percieved sound directions+subwoofer. I would recommend using only 5.1 as that is how audio of Xbox 360 games are
designed to use.

This.

I thought I had fixed the issue by changing the sound mode to Standard.

Well, center channel now works but no subwoofer. Unless you open a native atmos game of course.

But yeah, subwoofer not working in Standard with dolby atmos home theater on Xbox.

Btw, my settings have always been, pass through, eARC on, bitstream, allow passthrough on Xbox audio settings.

Hello!

Sorry to hear about your problem with your subwoofer. Here are some tips to help you.

Firmware Updates: Check for any firmware updates for both your Xbox consoles and Sony AV receivers. Outdated firmware can sometimes cause compatibility issues.
Reset AV Receiver: If possible, perform a factory reset on your Sony AV receivers to ensure that all settings are back to default. Be sure to set up the audio settings again after the reset.
Check Subwoofer: Test your subwoofer with other devices or sources to ensure that the subwoofer itself is working correctly.
Different Audio Source: Connect another audio source (e.g., smartphone, tablet, PC) to your Sony AV receivers and see if the subwoofer works with music from these sources. This will help determine if the issue is related to the Xbox consoles or the AV receiver.

I hope these tips help you with your problem. Have a good day.

I have not had that issue. I have an issue with the game not being in surround sound. The game just works through my left and right speaker, subwoofer and center speaker. No rear audio whatsoever.
