Connecting XBox one to receiver with no hdmi port

I have a tv, cable box with hdmi ports, and a yamaha receiver with no hdmi ports. I have 5.1 surround sound and want to know is there a way to hook the xbox one so that I get surround sound with it. Currently sound only comes out of the tv speakers.

:)

 

Can I Direct Connect XboxOne to TV?

That's how you connect an xbox to a tv... am i missing something, how do you normally connect your xbox to the tv?

Make sure your hdmi cable is connected to the OUT port on the xbox one (next to power) and to an IN port on your tv's HDMI port.

Easy peasy.

 

Xbox One HDMI Passthrough --> Optical Out

If this has been asked elsewhere, I apologize in advance. I'll be connecting my cable STB to the HDMI in and the out to my TV. From the Xbox One, I'll be using the optical out to my receiver (my receiver doesn't have HDMI ports). So, my question is that
will the HDMI pass-through strip the audio and feed it to the optical out on the Xbox One?

 

If your receiver supports digital optical sound, I would suggest getting an optical cable to run sound to the receiver. I do this with my older Philips receiver.

 

Like dlCHIEF58 says, connecting Your Xbox One to the reciver with a Optical cable (Tos-link) is the suggested way to go..

I did that with my Xbox One and the difference in sound was clearly noticeable and well Worth it.. But I did need to go into the display and sound settings and enable "Bitstream out" and bitstream format Dolby digital (on my Samsung reciver)for it to give
surround sound... Most Surround sound systems will support Optical audio i belive..

how do you connect the xbox one to the receiver using an optical cable? Doesnt it only have hdmi ports on the back?

 

It as an optical port as well next to the HDMI out port.
