connecting a xbox, android tv and a sony home theater system

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Optical audio out is not supported by Xbox Series X|S consoles. Connect your console to your TV using the provided HDMI cable, and then connect your TV to your stereo receiver or soundbar using the TV’s optical (S/PDIF) out port.

You would actually want your hd box connected to your xbox one then your xbox one to your surround sound and then the surround sound to the tv. this way, your tv will display the picture but your surround sound will intercept the audio. the surround sound
works as and audio/video in AND out device. Your sky tv wouldn't connect to the xbox at all as far as I know, that would have to be plugged in directly to the sony surround sound and you would change the input on the surround sound rather than the tv.

Here are some cool diagrams to setup your home theater system

You should connect the xbox to your tv and where it says sound outout on your tv connect your home theater system to that with your RCA cables. You should be able to cruise through your xbox and hear everything on your tv and home theater system.

Connect Xbox One to Your Home Theater or Sound System

Would suggest you read thru that link as it has setup options depending on your system. I have a home theater with surround sound but the HDMI runs thru it as well it is not direct to TV.

I suppose this is supposed to be a surround-sound speaker setup.

There are quick setup guides and a support page for your model, so I'd look here first:

As far as connecting it to the Xbox, this is how it usually goes:

- If you have an optical cable, you can use that as a direct audio connection between the Xbox One and the Sony DAV receiver. Your Xbox One has an optical port for audio. You will need to set the output to "Optical" on your Sony
receiver whenever you want to output audio from your Xbox.

- If you are just getting the sound from HDMI, you will need to plug the Sony DAV receiver to your TV (via RCA or other supported methods), adjust your TV's options so it's not using its built-in speakers anymore, and finally your
audio should pass through the Xbox, then the TV, then your Sony speakers.

Here is an Xbox support article detailing about setting up your console with a home theater system:

Hope this helps!
