: Cannot get Xbox One X to turn on my Yamaha RX770A receiver

same problem here with the xbox one x connected directly to the receiver yamaha RX-V585

Same type of issue here. Yamaha HTR-5560 receiver (also not HDMI receiver). From the cable box (Comcast/Xfinity hi-def), to the Xbox One via HDMI, xbox one to Yamaha via digital optical, Xbox One to tv via HDMI, and with surround I get no center channel
but I do get subwoofer. Running tv from the cable box directly to the receiver does give out full surround.

I have the same problem on Xbox X and XBox One. I’m using the Denon AVR-X 2700H 7.2 channel Dolby Atmos receiver with the XBox X, and the Yamaha RXV-6A 7.2 channel Dolby Atmos receiver with the Xbox One. Both receivers were working normally outputting Atmos on Netflix until November 2022. Disney+ and Amazon Prime play Atmos content on both devices without issue, hence indicating that the problem is not with the 4K TV and 4K projector, nor receivers.

seicam,

Sorry to be so slow to respond, but with the holidays and all, I hope you understand.

I believe that the only audio out from the Xbox One is over the optical link. Therefore, you have to connect the optical out of the Xbox to one of the optical inputs on your receiver and then select that audio input to get the Xbox and Live TV audio. For
the video, you may have to bypass the receiver altogether. Here is how my setup is configured (the Yamaha gets audio only from the Xbox One):

DirecTV receiver --> Xbox One --> TV

Yamaha A/V receiver <---'

I never thought about taking the HDMI out from the Xbox and through the A/V receiver. This may work, but you will still have to associate the audio with the optical input from the Xbox. This is done through the menus on your Yamaha system. You need to
select the HDMI input for the Xbox and then there should be setup options for the audio to use. You then select the optical input that the Xbox is connected to as the default audio input for that particular HDMI input. If you're not sure how to do this,
Yamaha support can walk you through the process.

It is not possible to disable it since I need it. When manually turned on via the receiver remote or receiver power button only the main zone turns on.

Based on all the threads I've seen (here and reddit) this is an Xbox issue related to compatibility with Yamaha devices. Stop blaming the device, user, or making excuses.
