    Dolby Surround on Xbox One X


    Hello,

    I have a very high end surround sound system with a Denon receiver. When I had an Xbox One I was not able to run my cable television through the Xbox as the XBox would take over the audio and I would lose a lot of the surround sound quality versus using
    the receiver. I just purchased a One X and it appears there are a lot more options related to passing through sound and video including Bitstream. I am passing through 4K with HDR+ for the video and am curious if I am able to pass through the audio to the
    receiver and let the receiver use its higher end codecs to process the audio. I forget which version of Dolby I am using, I think it is a step below Atmos.

    In summary, what settings on the One X should I set so that the audio from my Xfinity cable box is not processed by the Xbox but passed through to be processed by my receiver? Or do I have to skip using the Xbox for my TV and go straight from Xfinity to
    my receiver? Thanks for the help and suggestions!

    :)

    Dolby atmos not recognizing sound bar

    I wouldn't be surprised. Dolby what?..... at-mos...... what is that?....... Everyone's heard about Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital and Dolby DTS. No wonder your sound bar may not recognize it. Isn't Xbox One X going to have it? If the hardware can't understand
    it, there's little that software (Dolby app) can do to correct it. As it could be a hardware limitation.

    Pioneer receiver!!

    There is surround sound for Xbox One games there is just no Dolby surround at the moment.

    Currently you have uncompressed 5.1 & 7.1 and DTS.

    Optical Out with No Surround Sound

    to ICESTORM#: Regarding Dolby Surround Sound: MY CABLE BOX USES DOLBY SURROUND SOUND, IT IS ADVERTISED ON EVERY MOVIE I RENT OR WATCH. MY XBOX ONE HAS TO USE A SILLY BETA APP TO GET SURROUND SOUND THROUGH HDMI OUT BUT CAN NOT GET IT FOR THE OPTICAL OUT
    PORT.

    Xbox One X Dolby Atmos not working

    My Xbox One X is connected to my receiver. When I try to setup Atmos in the audio settings Xbox One X says that my receiver, Denon AVR-4300H, does not have Atmos capability. I am only allowed to choose DTS for the bitstream sound output. Atmos works fine
    with my Samsung 4K player so I know it is an Xbox One X issue.

    The Dolby App does not give any error until I try to view the demo videos where it flashes, "you are not viewing this video on Dolby Atmos." It plays the demo video on DTS instead.
    ***UPDATE***

    I finally got Dolby Atmos to work!!! Under "Settings, Display & Sound, Volume, Setup TV & AV Control, Audio" I had to change the default "Stereo" setting to "Surround Sound." The Xbox One X had to reboot to accept/change the setting. Once it rebooted Dolby
    Atmos was working. It is interesting that the main control will be under the volume settings instead of audio output. You would think the system will be smart enough to activate surround sound when you are choosing Dolby Atmos to bitstream.

    Hopefully this "difficult to find" change of setting will work for others who are having Dolby Atmos issues.
