Need help with Xbox One/Cable Box/TV/Receiver/2.1 Speaker Setup

You will need the hdmi cable from your cable box going to the in hdmi on the Xbox one, if your dennon reciever supports hdmi, then take the out of the Xbox into the reciever and then out of the reciever to the tv.

If it doesn't support hdmi then take the hdmi out of the Xbox to the tv, then take a toslink aka spdif cable out of the tv to an input on the reciever.

My set up will be:

Cable Box HDMI out to Xbox One HDMI IN, Xbox One HDMI out to Receiver HDMI In, Receiver HDMI out to TV HDMI in, Receiver Audio out to Speakers

So the Cable audio/video goes to the Xbox One, Xbox One send that and/or it's audio/video to the Receiver, Receiver sends video to TV and audio to Speakers

It seems like that's what you're describing, so I'm not sure why you think audio is being left out anywhere.

It might be possible to run an optical from TV to A/V receiver and set TV to external speakers. Obviously, the HDMI in is designed to be used with a cable/satellite box. I wouldn't recommend hooking up your Xbox One in between your receiver and your display.

My home setup is:

• Cable Box to Xbox One HDMI input
• Xbox One HDMI out to Denon HDMI input
• Optical Xbox One out to Denon optical input
• Denon HDMI out to Sony TV HDMI

How much delay are you talking about? I have noticed that the audio coming from the TV speakers (comes from HDMI) is not perfectly in sync to the audio from the optical going to the receiver. Yet, the delay is not enough that it should be a noticeable problem
unless intentionally using both. I can't tell there is a sync between video and audio when using either, but I can hear able 20-30 milliseconds between the two, with the sound from the TV speakers being delayed the most.

Are you seeing this dlay when using other video, such as cable TV (using HDMI in with a cable box)?

Some receivers have settings that allow changing the audio delay a little. I don't know if these extend to optical or are just for speaker setup.

As a side note, I have an Onkyo receiver at work. I haven't heard any audio issues with it that I haven't had at home.





Thanks for getting back with this, I'm very interested for this to get resolved and to understand what the underlying issue is.

Your receiver looks a lot like the Onkyo one I have. Without knowing the rest of your setup, what I have is the Xbox One HDMI going into the receiver (as well as the BD player, Cable box & Xbox 360) and then an HDMI cable in the HDMI out slot to the TV.

What is the rest of your setup? And how are you connecting everything to your TV?
