I have no sound coming through my tv speakers when I have my Xbox on, does anyone know how...

Hi there, I would need a little more context to help you. Is this through a headset? Speakers? If it's your speakers or headset, how can you be sure it's the Xbox and not those? Can you test your speakers with another program on the TV/PC and can
you test the headset on a PC? Let me know what you come up with.

Its just the sound that should play through the TV, I don’t have any additional speakers or headsets, but the tv is playing sound normally, just nothing when i turn the xbox on

I am trying to get sound to come through my receiver speakers since my TV only has DVI connection and not HDMI. I have optical hooked up to to receiver to Xbox. In settings I have DVI checked and Stereo uncompressed.

Hello everyone

My xbox is connected to my onkyo (HT-R550) with a optical cable. With movies i get sound through all speakers but with games i only get sound through the front and surround speakers but not the center channel speaker.

Xbox audio settings :

Optical audio out > bitstream

Bitstream format > dolby digital

Now i have tried switching to DTS but the center speaker still does not produce any sound.

The only way i got the center speaker to work was when i switched to stereo uncompressed but i am not pleased with the overall sound quality.

My question is is it normal for games not to produce sound through the center channel speaker when a xbox is connected with a optical cable to a receiver and dolby digital is selected on the xbox?

I am just doing HDMI to my TV and have the sound coming out the TV speakers. And it definitely gets worse. When the box first turns on there is no delay and after an hour or two it is noticeable, so I know it's the Xbox and it can't be fixed just by changing
a delay setting.

its likely to do with surround sound and how it's handled by the tv - you normally have to set an audio boost for 5.1 audio when plaything through stereo speakers. I have the same issue with Plex and my Firestick.
