Need help outputting sound!

Torres RULE · Jun 3, 2014

So, I was recently given an old Bose set with 2 speakers and acoustimass module. Its a little outdated, but it sounds a lot better than my TV. I use an HDMI chord to go from my XBOX to my television (Samsung). So I thought I could just plug in a red and
white component from the output in my TV to the receiver that would play the sound through the speakers. This was when I learned that my TV model doesn't have an output for some odd reason. I tried using the hd component for Xbox to plug the video into the
TV and the audio into the receiver, but the picture dropped from 1920x1080 to 760x480, a big enough difference for me to just keep the HDMI in without good sound. What could I do to solve this problem? Is there someway to use the USB ports to output the sound?
Could I use the HDMI chord solely for video and use the other component chord to play sound only? are there any ports to output sound, or could I do it wirelessly?

:)

Issue with Live TV and Choppy Picture

Hi Souless Cthulhu. Is your STB outputting Dolby or Surround Sound? Could you try changing it to Stereo?

Xbox headset not outputting sound.

Hello. Suddenly I have been having trouble with my Turtle Beach Recon 50x gaming headset And I was wondering if you could help. The sound comes out of my t.v. But it will not come out of my headset that I got 3 weeks ago. It was working until about an hour
ago and I'm starting to get frusturated. I hope that you respond and that you can fix this issue as I had spent a good amount of money on the headset. Thank you.

Hi there,

when you use a Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable did you check the display settings on the console if they were set to 1080p ?

Sounds like you need to navigate to your video output settngs and change the resolution output.

You need to plug it into the mic jack on your laptop. The headphone jack outputs sound and the mic jack inputs sound. You might also need to tweak the sound settings by right clicking on the speaker in the system tray and clicking on "Recording Devices."
If you need more help let me know.

What sound format are you outputting in the dashboard, and what is the model of sound bar?

Hi EllisonRogers,

You can change the sound output preference in settings.

Go to general settings - volume and audio output and from there it should give you the option to change the party chat output to headset and/or speakers.

Once you’ve adjusted this and still no luck try restarting your console.

Hope this helps and let us know if you need anything else.
