    no surround sound through HDMI


    I can’t seem the get my surround sound by my xbox one pass through a TV. I have my xbox one hooked to my tv with an HDMI cable and the TV hooked to my receiver directly with an optical cable. Only stereo goes through, when I change it to 5.1 only music/background
    and no speaking can be heard in movies.

    :)

    Surround sound connection issues

    Hi everyone,

    I've tried everything, even been on live chat with M* for hours and can't resolve this.

    I'm trying to get the Xbox One to play sound through my blu ray surround sound. I have a Panasonic TX50-AX802b TV and a Panasonic BTT465 surround sound system. I've tried all the things I can find on the forum and still no joy.

    Tried 2 different set ups:

    1. HDMI from TV to Xbox One, HDMI from Xbox One to surround sound;
    2. HDMI from TV to Xbox One, optical cable from Xbox One to surround sound.
    No sound coming through the surround sound at all.

    Any help hugely appreciate, it's starting to drive me mad now no surround sound through HDMI :)

    Thanks,

    Richard

    Bitstream Audio DTS / DD cannot get center channel to play audio with HDMI passthrough

    Surround sound is disabled by default for the HDMI input. You need to go to Settings, TV & OneGuide, Troubleshooting, Audio to enable the surround sound beta.

    Is your setup Xbox to receiver via HDMI? Or is the sound going through your TV first?

    Xbox360 HDMI into Suround sound then to tv?

    I have a samsung surround system(forget the model) and use the digital audio cable for my surround sound an hdmi cable to the tv for the video. I think it works better than the hdmi through the surround reciever.

    MCE through XB1

    Have you tried enabling the Surround Sound feature? Its in Settings and in probably in TV there is a troubleshooting section. Buried in there is a Surround Sound BETA feature that will take surround sound through the HDMI in. Sorry I cant remember the exact
    way to navigate but you will find it.

    Need serious help with Audio settings please

    Hi Danny! It sounds to me like the best option for you here is to set your audio out to Bitstream either Dolby Digital or DTS (depending on which sounds/works best for you.) The way you describe it, it sounds like the HDMI cable is going directly from your
    One to your TV, without going through an HDMI pass-through on your SS system. The 5.1 through HDMI wouldn't work entirely, because I'm assuming your TV by itself is not a Surround Sound TV, hence needing the SS system besides.

    So, by selecting 5.1 over HDMI, your One is sending the surround signal to the TV which is then trying to play a surround sound signal through its built-in stereo speakers, which won't work.

    Bitstream is the audio format which sends surround sound signal via optical cable on the One. By setting this setting to a Surround, the One sends audio through the Optical cable directly to your SS system, which takes care of decoding the multi-channel
    audio.

    The other option would be to run your HDMI out from your ONE into the SS system, then out from the SS system/Blu Ray into the TV. This would allow the Surround Signal to pass Via HDMI to the surround system, and the video would pass through to the TV (IF
    your SS system supports HDMI passthrough, which some do not.)

    Hope this helps!
