BOSE System turns off but not on

Hi there ,

Thanks for reaching out here in Xbox Forums. I understand there is an issue with the Xbox One S console controlling the Bose system.
If you’re having trouble controlling your home theater from Xbox One,
and all other troubleshooting has failed, you can use an IR extension cable to control your home theater. Take a look at the following article
for more information: Using IR extension cables with Xbox One.

Give this a try and let us know the results.

Reread my post again....,

Hey fit101

In the articles that were posted by XBF Crystal P were there to assist you, have you taken a look at them?

I would like to remind you of the
Xbox Forums Guidelines, specifically rule number three:

"3) Please do not be rude and do not insult, berate, or comment upon anything personal to do with Admins, the MVP's, Mods or any other person who happens to post on this forum. If you think someone is wrong it may
be because they are new, don't jump on them. Please be tactful and be civil."

If you have tried the steps above and they were not working for you, we would appreciate if you could inform us on that detail, instead of disregarding any assistance provided for you.

We implore you to take a look at the those articles once more, as they were chosen specifically to cater to your situation.

If all else fail, we recommend that you contact
BOSE support.

We will now be locking this thread as there is currently no other troubleshooting steps that we can provide for you.

Thank you for being part of the Xbox Family and we wish you a wonderful day!

Ok, I just spoke to MS support rep... I'm using XBO with Bose Lifestyle v35. We were able to solve the issue by turning the XBO off for 10 seconds, then unplugged all the cables from bose, and xbo. Waited 1 minute, and plugged all the cables back in. Booted
up XBO and surround sound is working again. Hope this helps.

After taking a look at the inputs available on the system I would say the best thing to do would be to just get an Digital optical cable to connect the Xbox to the Bose system for surround sound and then run the HDMI out from the Xbox to your TV. In terms
of hooking up your DirecTV all you need is a Component to HDMI cable.

Unfortunately the Bose system doesn't offer you any HiDef inputs so you won't be able to route the video coming from your Xbox one through your Bose system.

Hope this answered your question.
