No voice sound with 5.1 surround sound

Hi!

I recently buy a 5.1 sound system. I made the changes required in the setup of the xbox one (bitstream and surround sound) and in my sound system.

I've try it with Netflix and all the surrounding sounds seems to be working as they should in the speakers they should, but there is the main issue that no voice is hearing when 5.1 is selected.

My main purpose is to hear everything with 5.1 as that is why I buy a 5.1 system. If I select stereo in the setup of the xbox, it works, but is stereo.

I found a couple of post regarding the same issue, and they fix it selecting stereo but none of they where using a 5.1 system. Just TV speakers.

Anyone knows what could it be the problem and how to fix it?

earforce x42 or razer chimaera 5.1?

First Question:

I own a Razer Chimaera 5.1 and I am very happy with it, it's both has quality audio and is comfortable to wear.The voice can get muzzled if the game audio is set too high, which you have to correct with the ingame audio settings as the headset only has buttons
for voice and general volume.



Second Question:

With an actual surround sound set 5.1/7.1 are the amount of speakers+subwoofer which it consists of. With surround sound headsets 5.1/7.1 are percieved sound directions+subwoofer. I would recommend using only 5.1 as that is how audio of Xbox 360 games are
designed to use.

 

Surround Sound Complications

Hello Community,

I would like to consider myself a Techie but when I setup my Xbox One I got for a present I only ran into frustration and issues.

Equipment & Setup:

Xbox One plugged into a Sony Receiver via HDMI. Receiver plugged into TV via HDMI cable.

Xbox One set to 5.1 uncompressed (as suggested via researching this online). Receiver states 3/2.1 PCM - I set it to PLII Movie, thus 5.1 Surround Sound.

Issue:

Hulu app will not play 5.1 surround sound, only FL & FR speakers.

Previews on a Blu-Ray wouldn't play 5.1 surround sound but the actual movie would.

Pandora will only play through FL & FR speakers, no sub.

Netflix will play 5.1 surround sound. Games will play 5.1 surround sound.

Confusion:

Why are some items playing surround sound and others are not? My previous console had no issues playing Hulu at 5.1 surround sound with same HDMI setup. My other devices I'm using on the receiver are playing 5.1 surround sound just fine.

Seeking help with this. I would hate to return the Xbox One due to something as trivial as Audio. Especially since a device as simple as my Chromcast and PS3 had no issues whatsoever. But if I can't solve this within the week I will have to return for a
PS4.

Thank you ahead of time for your help and support with this,

Tom
