My audio keeps going in and out. Can’t get stabelbauto cracking sound in my speakers and...

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?

Less me guess, your using either a component cable thing, or have cracked open your AV cable so it will fit under the HDMI and are using that for audio? am i right?. I am doing the exact same thing, and have ran into to same problem, but have worked out
what is causing it, its the AV plug your using for audio, if you unplug that, then switch back, the xbox should be fine. Your just going to have to find another way to get audio.

My brother just got a new LED screen for his PC and Xbox, he also ran into the same problem, but his screen doesn't have inbuilt speakers, so it has an audio out of the screen, he just plugged that into some speakers (or into audio in on your PC to share
sound), he can now switch between PC and xbox with no problems. Hope this helps.

My T.V only has digital audio output and my surround sound only has analog intput so i bought a digital to analog audio converter, so i have my xbox connected to my tv via HDMI then the digital audio out from the tv to the converter, then finally from the
converter to my surround sound via a L/R AUX cable. That's how i get sound from the xbox to speakers.

The audio issue I have is when watching tv the audio goes through my avr. When I decide to play a game, the game plays but no sound through the avr, the tv audio is still going through it, but I do get audio from the game through the tv speakers. Any help?

There are a few options to get audio output to RCA (red & white) speakers with the Xbox One.

- If your HDTV has an audio output port for external speakers, usually in the form of a 3.5mm jack or separate RCA outputs, you can configure your TV to disable the built-in speakers and output all audio to what's connected to that output.

- Xbox One has an optical port for digital audio output. Personally, that's how I get my audio going to my soundbar. If your speaker system has an optical port, you might be in luck.

- There are various, specialized adapters you can get online, like HDMI-in to HDMI-out (video) + RCA (audio).

Hope this helps!
