  1. Help getting analog 5.1 surround to Xbox One...


    So, my surround sound system is only analog, without buying a digital to analog converter, is there a way to use the receiver I have to convert the Xbox Ones digital signal to analog for my system?

    I have tried connecting an optical cable from the One to the receiver and then the analog cables from the receiver to my surround sound speakers but can't get it to work.

    I am including a picture of the back of my receiver in case this is hopefully possible and someone can walk me through it.

    Surround Sound Complications

    Hello Community,

    I would like to consider myself a Techie but when I setup my Xbox One I got for a present I only ran into frustration and issues.

    Equipment & Setup:

    Xbox One plugged into a Sony Receiver via HDMI. Receiver plugged into TV via HDMI cable.

    Xbox One set to 5.1 uncompressed (as suggested via researching this online). Receiver states 3/2.1 PCM - I set it to PLII Movie, thus 5.1 Surround Sound.

    Issue:

    Hulu app will not play 5.1 surround sound, only FL & FR speakers.

    Previews on a Blu-Ray wouldn't play 5.1 surround sound but the actual movie would.

    Pandora will only play through FL & FR speakers, no sub.

    Netflix will play 5.1 surround sound. Games will play 5.1 surround sound.

    Confusion:

    Why are some items playing surround sound and others are not? My previous console had no issues playing Hulu at 5.1 surround sound with same HDMI setup. My other devices I'm using on the receiver are playing 5.1 surround sound just fine.

    Seeking help with this. I would hate to return the Xbox One due to something as trivial as Audio. Especially since a device as simple as my Chromcast and PS3 had no issues whatsoever. But if I can't solve this within the week I will have to return for a
    PS4.

    Thank you ahead of time for your help and support with this,

    Tom

  3. Verizon FiOS TV App not outputting surround sound

    I'm trying to use the FiOS TV App on my Xbox One. I'm trying to watch a program that has a surround audio track, but I'm only getting stereo audio from my Xbox. I've contacted verizon and they confirmed to me that if the program has a surround audio track
    then the app is receiving that track. The XBOX is set to output 5.1 uncompressed and the receiver is getting the 5.1 signal from games, blu-rays, netflix, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    you need a analog to optical converter

    www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

    you can shop around, i just found the quickest link to one i could find really. They're honestly not expensive though.

    TV Tuner Stereo output only?

    Will this issue ever be resolved Microsoft? To get surround sound (5.1) for live TV I may have to give up the guide and XBOX ONE and get live TV through my TV where I get 5.1 surround. This is going backward in my opinion as XBOX ONE guide is excellent.

    Surround Sound not completely working

    An optical cable simply can't pass 5.1/7.1 uncompressed, only HDMI or multichannel analog can (the latter of which the Xbox doesn't have). As such your headset (presumably optical) does NOT and cannot support 5.1/7.1 uncompressed. Instead it supports 5.1
    Dolby Digital (DD=compressed), and virtually creates 7.1 from the 5.1 through processing (optical can't pass 7.1 DD+ either, only 5.1). Currently, the Xbox One cannot output Dolby Digital 5.1 over optical, which is why you do not get surround sound in your
    headset. It is also not surprising that your TV is not handling 5.1/7.1 uncompressed properly, as that is something you really need an audio receiver to handle. What is probably happening is your TV is downmixing the uncompressed 5.1/7.1 to some sort of stereo
    (2.1?), resulting is loss of some audio channels. The rest you hear as"virtual surround sound" created by your LG system.

    The solution for you is to get a proper audio/video receiver (recommend Onkyo or Denon) that has HDMI inputs, can handle uncompressed 5.1/7.1, etc.; OR wait until the One can output DD 5.1 over optical, When the latter happens, keep in mind that most TVs
    will NOT pass DD 5.1 out over optical. Perhaps yours does (some Vizio models do). If yours doesn't, you will never get true DD 5.1 (just because you hear sound from all speakers doesn't mean you are getting true DD 5.1) from your current setup and would need
    to run the optical out directly to your LG system, instead of through the TV. Hope that helps.

    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.
