    HDMI ARC Dolby Digital 5.1 speaker arrangement changes during game on Xbox Series X


    Hi

    I have an LG C1 with the Xbox Series X plugged into it directly and then ARC sending the sound to my Panasonic Dolby Digital 5.1 Blu-ray player combined home theatre via HDMI (sadly DTS passthrough not supported by this TV).

    I have other devices that work fine with Dolby Digital 5.1, but when I use my Xbox Series X it's fine for quite some time when playing games with the standard 5.1 channels all being used, but then randomly it will start pushing most of the sound in rear right and front left. It's beyond bizarre!

    Thanks in advance...

    :)

    Hi James W2,

    Greetings!

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We’d like to know more about it in details so that we can provide a more accurate resolution for you.

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done?
    • Was this working before?
    • Recent activity or changes made before the issue appeared?

    So far, from the details you provided, you can try the following steps and let us know the result. You can just skip those you have done already.



    Note Consult your TV manufacturer for Dolby Vision gaming compatibility and firmware updates.

    If your 4K@120Hz TV supports Dolby Vision gaming at 4K@60Hz but not 4K@120Hz, follow this guidance for Dolby Vision gaming, and reach out to your TV manufacturer.

    Gaming in Dolby Vision:

    1. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide and go to Settings > General > TV & Display options.
    2. Set Resolution to 4K.
    3. Set Refresh Rate to 60Hz.
    Gaming in 120fps:

    1. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide and go to Settings > General > TV & Display options.
    2. Set Resolution to 4K.
    3. Set Refresh Rate to 120Hz.
    If your TV has the latest firmware and you’re experiencing display latency or input lag while gaming in Dolby Vision, disable Dolby Vision while gaming and reach out to your TV manufacturer.

    To disable Dolby Vision, press the Xbox button  to open the guide, and then go to Settings > General > TV & display options > Video modes > Allow Dolby Vision > Off.

    If your TV or monitor displays a blank screen after enabling Dolby Vision, unplug and reattach the HDMI cable. If you still see a blank screen, reboot your Xbox console:

    1. Press and hold the Xbox button  on your controller.
    2. Choose Turn off console or Restart console > Restart.

    Audio settings

    Hello D3mondkid12! Dolby Digital is a system that designates 2.0 up to 5.1 or more channels where the speakers are arranged horizontally (designations include Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital
    Plus) Dolby TrueHD is the next step but the speakers are still arranged horizontally.

    Dolby Atmos is a system where speakers are arranged both horizontally and vertically. Examples include 3.1.2, 5.1.2, 5.1.4, 7.1.2, 7.1.4. The first number is the number of horizontal speakers, the second number
    is the subwoofer, and the third number is the number of vertical speakers (vertical speakers can be placed on the ceiling or pointing up from the top of the horizontal speakers). Dolby Atmos information can be encoded within a Dolby True HD signal - if you
    have a Dolby Atmos Blu-ray and your receiver doesn’t feature Dolby Atmos decoding, it will default to Dolby TrueHD, Hope it helps!

    Connection Sound Bar Using HDMI

    For reference, HDMI ARC is meant for a TV to send the sound it receives from something like its digital TV tuner "upstream" to your soundbar.

    The way you have it set up physically is correct, just that its not depending on ARC (Xbox One audio gets stripped from the HDMI cable by your soundbar and sends the video onto your TV).

    Try changing the audio setting on the Xbox One to Stereo Uncompressed, make sure the soundbar isn't muted, etc. Maybe your Soundbar doesn't support 5.1 uncompressed, but 5.1 compressed Dolby Digital or DTS.
