    On Xbox Series X/S, does turning off the "other devices can turn console off" setting...


    I previously had a problem where turning off my Xbox One S would turn off the TV, which would turn off my Series S, due CEC settings working through HDMI for the new consoles instead of IR signals like the One S

    For now I turned off "CEC" on the TV to temporarily avoid that problem.

    I was wondering if unchecking "allow other devices to turn console off" would be a work around, but, I don't know if this will prevent my Amazon Echo dot from controlling the console.

    :)

    Device Control

    To get started, let's try checking the settings. Head over to Settings > General > TV & display options > Device control, and then look and see if the following is enabled:

    • Console turns on other devices
    • Console turns off other devices
    • Other devices can turn console off
    • Use TV remote for console
    If all of these are enabled and it's still not responding as expected, I will need some more details.

    1. Which Xbox console are you working with (Xbox One, Xbox One S/X, Xbox Series S/X)?
    2. How are you attempting to connect the receiver? Is it directly from the console to the receiver, or from the console to the TV and then the receiver?
    I'll do my best to help or at least point you in the right direction.

    On Xbox Series X/S, does turning off the "other devices can turn console off" setting affect the "digital assistant" settings?

    Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    First of all, I'm sorry I'm having this problem.

    On your question, yes if you uncheck the option "allow other devices to turn off the console it will work, but in the case of your digital assistant, it will probably still work normally because it is a standalone device.

    *Do the test please, if it works correctly please let us know, the community would be very grateful.

    Xbox Series X - I can no longer turn off hdmi audio since installing the september update

    I have almost the same problem except the error message says

    “if you’re using Xbox series X/S, note that HDMI audio can’t be turned off. In other consoles, either optical or HDMI audio must be on. (0x80bd0009)

    Why can’t I turn off hdmi audio on Xbox series x it makes no sense?

    Xbox Series X double starts

    Hi,

    I have an xbox series x. When turning the xbox on with a controller the system will turn on then immediately turn off and start again.
    Does this happen if you use the console on/off button?

    Is the console OS and the controller firmware up to date?
