No HDMI output. Not the usual problem though [ Please read.

sry I didn't read it correct the box does not have any other than an HDMI in and HDMI output

Hi,

It depends on your PC. HDMI output and HDMI input are two different things.

Often the HDMI ports on PCs are output only. They're intended to send information to another device like a monitor or TV. They usually don't accept input.

Your PC might be set up for HDMI input but if it's not settings then possibly not.

No, HDMI ports are usually for output only on such devices. You would need a TV/monitor to connect with the console.

Is the A/V adapter an official Microsoft product? Because usually the xbox only outputs to one of the A/V sockets, which is why the offical composite video cable has the bit of plastic that covers the HDMI output.

My Xbox One X has the same issue. I only noticed it doing it recently. I usually have HDMI audio set to output bitstream (DD), but on startup I will occasionally see it has change the HDMI audio output to 5.1 uncompressed. It's easy to notices as my
receiver will show as outputting Pro Logic II instead of DD 5.1 as it should when the Xbox One X is outputting a bitstream signal over the HDMI.

A power cycle does nothing. The only way to fix it is to go back into the audio setting and change it back to output bitstream over HDMI. It also doesn't do it every time the system is turned on. Sometimes it will turn on and remain on bitstream output as it
should.

Strangely enough I just noticed it doing this since i got a PS4 Pro. Almost as if going from the PS4 Pro's HDMI input to the Xbox One X's HDMI messes things up somehow. Though I haven't been able to find a situation where that can be replicated.

In any case....it seems ludicrous that a setting like that will just keep changing itself.
