    Soundbar always changes input whenever Xbox One is turned on


    Whenever I turn my Xbox One on, the input on the my Yamaha Soundbar switches to the TV input (which is an optical input), and has no relationship to the Xbox One. The Xbox One is connected to an HDMI input. When I turn it off, it is on the HDMI input for
    the console. However, when I go back to turn it on, the input switches to TV, as opposed the HDMI input assigned to the Xbox One.

    Is there a command I have to change in the settings so that the input is the correct one on my soundbar when the system is turned on?

    :)

    Soundbar Connectivity Issues

    I have a VIZIO S4251w-B4 soundbar with wireless subwoofer and satellite speakers. I have a 60" Samsung 4K TV UN60JU7100 I am trying to hook up my soundbar to my Xbox One using an optical cable.

    I got everything hooked up according to the manual and only the soundbar itself is working. The satellite speakers and subwoofer are not. There is no humming or static on any of the satellite speakers and subwoofer. Only the soundbar is currently working.
    I've paired the subwoofer and soundbar numerous times and I am still having problems.

    When I use the (vizio) remote to change the input, the sound only comes on when I'm on the USB input and not OPTICAL input, which is very confusing as I'm using an optical cable hooked directly from the soundbar to my Xbox one.

    I'm not sure of why all of this is happening, if there is any advice and help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    360 hdmi to tv optical to soundbar producing no sound. Xbox one also hooked via hdmi works fine.

    trying to connect 360 to tv via hdmi, and tv to soundbar via optical cable produces no sound from soundbar.

    Here is my current set:

    1. cable box hdmi out to xbox one hdmi in

    xbox hdmi out to tv in - input 1

    2. Xbox 360 hdmi out to tv hdmi in - input 2

    3. TV optical out to soundbar optical in

    xbox one plays fine, and I seem to get surround sound from video games and cable.

    I am currently getting no sound from 360 to soundbar. 360 will only play sound through tv even though optical cable is connected from tv to soundbar. I have a feeling it has to do with xbox one being connected to another input. Even though I am, of course,
    using input 2 for 360 when playing 360 games, I wonder if Xbox one is interfering with the signal? And, telling the soundbar through the tv, 'I am THE ONE, and u will only hear my voice.'

    Anyways, curious if anyone has suggestions on what may be wrong. Here, I'm basically trying to use my soundbar for all things tv related. And, I would've thought connecting the One and 360 via hdmi on separate inputs would allow each hdmi signal to go through
    and the tv would send whichever signal (input being either One OR 360) was currently running through optical cable to soundbar.

    As an fyi, I was originally connecting One hdmi to soundbar to tv. And, 360 was using optical directly to soundbar. Overall, I thought sending optical from tv to soundbar would be the most efficient connection path until I ran into this problem.

    any ideas/questions?

    Xbox One X setup with Soundbar

    Just wondering what's the best way to setup my xbox, TV & Soundbar.

    At the minute my xbox one x is connected to LG TV via hdmi and the TV and Yamaha Soundbar via hdmi (arc). Just wondering if it'd be better to connect the xbox to the Soundbar instead of TV (and leave the TV Soundbar connection via Arc as is).

    It doesn't do ATMOS but does do surround and DTS.

    Many thanks

    Jason
    IMO this is already the best scenario possible.

    The first thing you must know is that every device have an inevitable input lag, the game mode in modern TV help to reduce it by turning off some image enhancement.

    If you connect the Xbox One to the Soundbar, you may risk to add input lag because you have another device that must elaborate and pass video to the tv that can elaborate the video too.

    I'm using an Xbox One X directly connected to a Samsung Q9FN 55" and a 7.1 audio system connected to HDMI ARC, my audio/tv don't support Dolby Atmos, but all works fine.

    N1 soundbar not turning off.

    The power to the N1 Soundbar is in no way related to the power to the Xbox One console. If you want the Soundbar off when you turn your console off, you will just have to do this manually. If it automatically turns it back on, just unplug the Soundbar when
    you're not using it.

    Xbox Mute needs to be sent twice to Samsung HW E350

    I have a Samsung television and a rogers cable TV box. Both the television and the cable box turn on just fine.

    It is only the soundbar that does not power on. What's strange is that the mute voice command is required twice, however only one input from the smart glass app is required.

    Soundbar Connectivity Issues

    Reading the setup manual it says you should connect the soundbar to the TV by optical/digital/RCA or RCA 3.5mm and to use only ONE of these connections.

    Try connecting optical cable to TV and Soundbar then disable internal sound on TV and finally connect the Xbox One to the TV by HDMI. Choose the correct input on the Vizio remote and see if its any better.

    Xbox to Soundbar on monitor

    if the monitor has a 3.5mm output and the soundbar has that as an input then that way. lg tv's these days have arc so could have attached soundbar to arc hdmi port and then xbox to another port on the tv, but as you have a monitor the options are limited.
