Duplicated sound at Xbox Game Bar

Xbox is connected to tv, I do have a sound bar that is only able to be connect led through the optical cord. But, I tested the tv and the sound bar no sound for blu rays and all games have sound but not disc based movies

I have a lg Dolby sound bar. It dose the same . I had to put the xbox directly into the hdmi in on the sound bar. But it knocks normal tv sound a bit of .

Have you downloaded the lg sound bar app . You can play about with the sync 🤔

Hi Guys. I am a total noob to all this. I have a TV with no Digital Optical Out port. I am looking to buy a sound bar that only has a Digital Optical connection. If I hook the Sound bar through my Xbox One, will this work? I currently run my Sky box through
the Xbox Ones HDMI port. So if it does work, will games, Blu Ray and my TV run through the sound bar when using the Xbox One? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am new to this sound bar malarky. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'll address each of your points in turn:

Q) You were able to hear system sounds before you included the sound bar.

A) Correct

Q) You cannot hear system sounds with the sound bar included in your set-up.

A) Under certain conditions, correct. These are the conditions:

- When the Sound Bar is connected directly to the Xbox 360 via digital optical, I cannot hear system sounds when using Digital Stereo

- When the Sound Bar connects to my TV via HDMI, and my TV outputs audio to the Sound Bar via digital optical, I cannot hear system sounds, regardless of Xbox's output format. This is because my HDTV outputs only linear PCM when the audio source is HDMI

Q) You are now unable to hear system sounds even directly connected to your TV

A) Correct -- see above for further details

Q) Are you able to hear other sounds in games or movies?

A) Yes -- I watched an AVI movie on my Xbox 360 when using digital optical through my TV, and I didn't notice any issues with the audio.

Q) Is there any configuration of your set-up that allows you to hear the system sounds?

A) There are two situations where I can hear the system sounds:

- When the Xbox 360 connects directly to the Sound Bar, the the output audio format is Dolby Digital

- When the Xbox 360 connects to my HDTV, and then the HDTV outputs analog audio to the Sound Bar

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep those in mind. In the meantime, I'll continue to investigate as to why the Sound Bar doesn't work well with Digital Stereo signals. Also, I forget if I mentioned this, but I had a friend test this on his setup (Xbox
360 with same Sound Bar), and he ran into the same problem. So, it doesn't sound like the Sound Bar is faulty -- it could just be how the sound bar is manufactured.
