    Surround Sound


    I've found contradictory information all over the Internet and apologies if this has already been asked, but what's up with surround sound on Xbox One? I've got my One wired up in exactly the same way as my 360, HDMI in to TV then Digital Optical Out from
    the TV into my surround sound box. The box just plays whatever is going through the TV in full surround sound - it works for my 360 so why doesn't it for my One? I've also tried the "Beta" surround option hidden away in TV options but it's no good. I just
    want my next-gen games to use my surround sound setup!

    :)

    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.

    Surround Sound

    Well, you left out some info and there are a lot of posts in this forum about surround, so I'll just try to sum it up:

    1. The XBox One does not currently support Dolby Digital, at all.
    2. It does support DTS but you have to enable it in the settings as regular ol' stereo is selected by default. Choosing Speaker Audio Settings on Xbox One
    3. If your receiver does not support DTS, then you're out of luck getting any surround until they patch it.
    4. If whatever you're watching (Live TV, DVD, etc) does not have a DTS track, then you're only going to get 2-channel stereo no matter what you do.

    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!

    Hi there,

    For a pretty good review and run down on this product I recommend taking a look at this review:

    https://www.windowscentral.com/plan...review-no-nonsense-wireless-audio-xbox-and-pc

    It states that it has really good sound for being a wireless headset and the wireless signal is strong and it's easy to set up.

    You have to redeem the code on your Xbox in the Microsoft Store app. Once the code is redeemed, the Dolby Access app will be installed and your access to Dolby for Headphones will be unlocked within the app with your pre-paid code. Once it's been unlocked
    in the app and you have it set, you will need to go into your system's audio settings to turn it on. Go to Settings>Display & sound>Audio output>Headset audio>Headset format>Dolby Atmos for headphones.

    I hope this helps!
