Need help with dolby digital audio

The Xbox audio settings I have available are as follows:

HDMI audio:

* Stereo Uncompressed

* Dolby Digital

* Dolby Atmos for Home Theater

Headset Format:

* Stereo Uncompressed

* Windows Sonic for Headphones

* Dolby Atmos for Headphones

* DTS Headphone:X

Tried all of them. Nothing helped.

Right now digital audio is rumored to need a patch. If you use HDMI it should be fine, but there is a problem with Dolby encoding and digital audio....dont know how true this is as I haven't found anything official as of yet

Could you go into the console settings, and see what settings you have put for digital audio? The Xbox has settings for (I think) Digital Stereo, Dolby Digital and Windows Audio Surround. Set it to Stereo or Dolby Digital Surround only. I know of no device
that supports the Windows Media Audio thing.

To what audio equipment are you connecting your console? Your TV only, or are you using an AV reciever or audio amplifier to get sound?

It isn't possible for any TV to pass through uncompressed 5.1 audio but they can pass through Dolby Digital 5.1 format which is compressed.

What you need to do is tell the Xbox to output Bitstream audio via HDMI and set the Bitstream format to Dolby Digital. If you do this your TV will be able to send the 5.1 surround audio to your soundbar via its optical cable.

Hi Sgt7212, yes in the Optical Audio you need to select 'Bitstream Out'. After that, try selecting 'Dolby Digital'. This worked for me. Apparently my Astro headphones are not compatible with 'DTS Digital Sound'. When selecting 'Dolby Digital' it should be
in surround sound if your speakers, amp or headset are compatible.
