Xbox one controller support 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound?

so I was wondering if currently does the Xbox one controllers support 7.1 surround sound for gaming headsets or will the new controller with the headphone jack support surround sound? Please and thank you

Surround Sound help!

@Toxic M1ndz There is a good chance your tv is not capable of passing 5.1 sound out of the optical audio output some brands do while others don't check your tv specs to see if your tv supports it. I don't think any tv will carry 5.1 DTS through the optical
out. The tv will downconvert the signal to stereo PCM which sounds like what your getting.

If your souround sound setup has HDMI inputs use those. They are much better then optical and will carry all audio formats. Then use your receiver as a video switcher.

I don't think you can get surround sound via a HDMI lead at the moment.

Here are a couple of pages to have a read through which should explain what to do.

The HDMI standard does support surround sound ...
en.m.wikipedia.org/.../HDMI

I would check HDMI output setting on the xbox, there are 4 settings ... Stereo uncompressed, 5.1 uncompressed, 7.1 uncompressed, and Bitstream out. Try the x.1 settings and Bitstream setting to see if the receiver recognizes surround sound. If not, you will
likely need to use an optical cable to connect the Xbox to the receiver.

The way you have it connected your AVR is not getting any audio signal from the one..You need the HDMI out of the one to go to the AVR.

Hi had this problem and fixed it, go to your surround sound settings on your surround sound system and change the surround sound settings to manual, the cutting out is the xbox one triggering different sound effects from your audio system, such as changing
from cinema to home etc... hope this helps anyone else, reset console after you have made the changes to your surround sound.
