Mute SPDIF Audio

Hi @all,

i've purchased a xbox one a few days ago.

The xbox is connected to a TV for video and to a logitech soundsystem for the sound.

So that works fine. But when I tell my xbox to mute the sound, it mutes the tv sound (a sign on tv appears) but not the soundsystem, where the sound comes from.

How can I configure the xbox to mute my soundsystem and NOT the tv?

BR,

Gernii

Using SPDIF and HDMI Simultaneously

[quote user="Atropos0"]Is there any way to output audio through SPDIF while using HDMI?[/quote]Audio is present across all outputs at all times. There's no user control over which output is active. If you don't want to hear the audio over your monitor, mute
the monitor or turn the volume down.[quote user="FALCONFLYBOY"]what is a spdif cable and how does it enhance the sound[/quote]S/PDIF stands for Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format. It's one acronym used to describe the standard for Dolby Digital, DTS,
or stereo over an optical or coaxial cable.

 

Volume control

When the Xbox One S is not configured to directly control a TV or hifi system using IR, the volume control or mute don't work. Couldn't the Xbox instead adjust (or cut) the audio signal level on the HDMI and SPDIF output? Digital
manipulation of the audio data stream would alter dynamic range, but would still be useful. At least a digital mute should be provided in this way. Is this already supported, or can the feature request be considered?

 

You need to set up your surround sound system in the xbox one settings. Go to TV & One Guide in the Settings menu, then to Devices. You should see Receiver in there,you'll need to configure your surround system for it to control the volume of that rather
than your TV.

 

Oh....nice. Works fine! Thank you.
