Hi Guys,

Setup is Tivo-> Xbox One ->optical out to LG Surround Sound

Anyone else had similar? Is there a magic setting to set!

Hi, I'm not familiar with the Xfinity box but I did find the link below. Whether it's an issue with the Xfinity box itself I'm not sure. Is there a setting on the Xfnity box to enable surround sound on the optical input ?

Your cabling looks fine from your description.

Also bear in mind that not all programs are broadcast in surround sound, many use stereo only so that may be adding to the equation.

As you're using the optical audio output on the Xbox you may as well turn HDMI audio off totally, the audio from both the Xbox and your Xfinity box should then be routed through the optical cable only. I have a very similar setup but being in the UK I use
a Virgin Media Tivo. I have HDMI audio off and things seem to be working fine.
