    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

    :)

    Xbox video store - no surround sound

    All the movies list only English audio and no surround sound. I know they used to advertise surround sound. Does anyone know if the movies still have surround sound? even my purchased movies don't show surround sound. No DTS or Dolby

    Surround Sound Headset?

    This is a good question, but I've never considered doing something like this before. If you wait a bit longer, there will probably be a patch come out (or another adapter) to enable Dolby Digital capabilities.

    There could be complicated issues surrounding the licence that are stopping this. That would be my guess at least.

    No audio through optical cable to surround sound system. XBox One

    Hmm... sorry that didn't work for you! Out of curiosity, do you have an HDMI in/out on your Surround Sound? It could be a bit of incompatibility between the Xbox's compression codec and the decompression of your Surround Sound receiver. I've heard of a lot
    of people that have issues when running through a decoder, which are fixed by setting it to "HDMI Uncompressed." Then, you can input your sound to the Decoder Via HDMI, and run HDMI from the decoder to the TV (for video only.)

    The surround sound beta was initially just after the system launched, I don't think, IIRC, that it is in beta anymore.

    That HDMI thing is just one possibility. I could be making it too complicated, too, because it could even be something as simple as a bad Optical Cable. They're such fragile little things, they can break pretty easily.

    Surround sound

    With surround sound, you will be able to actually hear things behind you. When properly set up, you will be able to pinpoint exactly where things are, even when they're not actually on the screen (IE: a car coming up to you from the rear driver's side will
    actually be heard approaching from the left & behind). So yeah, it can definitely improve gameplay.



    That said, stay away from those all in one HTiB systems. You will be much better off in the long run starting with a good receiver & decent speakers, then upgrading as you can. HTiB systems are basically throw aways.



    I believe the 360 only supports 5.1 channels, but I could be wrong.

    I grabbed this headset for my Xbox One, honestly its an amazing value and really comfortable. Plus it comes with a pre-paid code for Dolby Atmos!
