  1. ETA for the Chat Adapter & Dolby Digital update?


    Hello guys, I have some Astro A40s and I have been searching around for an official estimated time of arrival for the Chat Adapter and an update for the Dolby Digital feature to be included for Xbox One. But unfortunately, I have found nothing to solve
    my answer. I expect many gamers like me are currently in this position where they have spent a fair amount on some quality gaming headphones and they are unable to work to their full potential on the Xbox One due to the accessory/feature that we need have
    not yet been implemented on the system. Does anyone know when these will come out as we are now approaching February and I feel like we have been left in the dark, Thanks.

    :)

    Looking for xbox one headset recommendations

    Budget:
    $150-$250.

    Preferences:
    No chat adapter required
    Dolby Digital (have they patched it in yet?)
    Wireless

    I had Turtlebeach x41's and loved them. The chat adapter ruins sound quality.

    Turtle beach headphones help

    Taken from TB website sorry if this is what you have already tried -

    1. Go to Settings > Display & Sound > Optical Audio, Select "Bitstream Out"

    2. Go to Settigns > Display & Sound > Bitstream Format, Select "Dolby Digital"

    3. Press the Chat Balance button on the Xbox one Stereo Headset Adapter until you hear a tone.

    Some time after February 14th is the best guess I can make. Polk's 4 Shot ships then. It includes the adapter.

    [quote user="N7 Gh0stz"]Soldier may I just say u don't Ned to Dolby update fella the astro mix amp makes 5.1[/quote]Eh, the MixAmp creates a matrix surround field out of a stereo source. That's not the same thing. It's faking multiple channels from a stereo
    source vs creating a surround field using 5.1 input. There's less to work with when building that field using a stereo source.

    [quote user="N7 Gh0stz"]Well according to the official ppl at astro the mix amp converts stereo into 5.1[/quote]While technically possible, it would be stupid to do so given that the headsets only have two drivers. The MixAmp converts 5.1 into a surround
    field that can be represented using two drivers.

  11. After contacting AstroGaming Support about this matter I had received a message from them saying "We are currently waiting on Microsoft to make the chat adapter so will allow users to chat using the headset, these are rumoured to be out around March time
    I believe, Xbox One still has not got Dolby Digital available, we are also waiting on an update for this feature to be available on the Xbox One." So the astro will support 7.1 surround when Microsoft decides to include dolby digital in an update.
