    Problems connecting Xbox One to external speakers

    The only way to get sound out is hdmi or Spdif.

    If your devices can't accept hdmi it's likely that it accepts Spdif. My system is over 10 years old and it works just fine using 5.1 DTS via Spdif.

    Xbox 360 surround sound question

    I am about to purchase Vizio 37" E371VL Flat Panel Full HDTV TV 1080P 60HZ for my xbox 360 and wanted a surround sound with it. I am considering

    Dynex DX-HTIB. I want to keep the signal digital for best quality. I was going to use xbox's support method of using the HDMI audio splitter but the theatre receiver doesn't have any digital inputs only hdmi and spdif outputs. the hdtv has hdmi input
    and spdif output. So are there any options, like would it be possible to use two HDMI connections simultaneously in order to get surround sound on xbox?

    How do I connect my Xbox 360E to my surround sound using an SPDIF cable?

    Turtle Beach makes a fairly cheap adapter that connects inline with the HDMI and extracts the audio and provides and optical out.

    Earforce HDAC

    A lot of TV's do have optical out so I would double check to see if yours has one. Some only pass through a Dolby Pro Logic or similar mix while some pass along all the audio untouched.

    souround sound

    Depends on your surround sound system. We need more information on your system. For surround sound, chances are through a Digital Audio (SPDIF) cable if you surround sound system has an input for it.

    Surround sound

    Hi there Idstjalsma

    There is also a way to use the spdif to surround sound speakers using a device that converts it to phono/Jack that allows you to connect spdif from console to that device and then from device to surround systems that use either phono's or jack. It's roughly
    30 dollars on amazon. Let me get my forum post about this same subject.

    Edit: As promised here is a link https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...d-system/bc20393e-e05a-4d19-9021-382700baee48
    to the same type of device I am speaking about. That is one way to set up surround sound so hopefully that can help.

    mute all but voice on stereo headset adapter?

    i dont want to do this as i want this because my headset i use is also my speakers i just use the headset set adapter so i can talk using my headset. i get an echo from all game sound when i use adapter to talk with. (the surround sound analog cables feed
    into a digital audio decoder) and i have a spdif cable from there that goes into my xbox. i use the stereo cable and mic cable with a splitter to plug into the adapter so i can talk and hear voice as i wont hear it if i dont use the stereo cable in there
    too

    surround sound headsets?

    O think no the reason why their are no official surround sound headsets is because the spdif currently doesn't support surround sound, only stereo. Be a bit of a waste (and a possible legal nightmare) to release surround sound headsets, if the Xbox One
    can currently in not do stereo.
