Vizio Sound Bar w/ Xbox One setup

I just bought a Vizio sound bar(SB4051-C0). I'm trying to configure it to work with my Xbox One. I set the xbox audio settings to 5.1 uncompressed,seems like everything is working smoothly but when I try and watch HBO Go or a blueray, I lose dialog from
the show, but can still hear the surround sound noise. Anyone else have this problem or know of a way to fix it?

Connection Sound Bar Using HDMI

I want to connect my Vizio sound bar using HDMI ARC. My sound bar has this option (two HDMI ports). I tried the optical connection first and it worked fine, but hooking everything up using HDMI is not working for sound, only for video. Here's my setup...I
have a UHD Samsung TV, Cisco cable box, Xbox One, and a Vizio S5451w-C2 sound bar. Again, the Vizio sound bar has a HDMI ARC connection option. I have my connections set up as follows ALL WITH HDMI CONNECTIONS::

Cable box --> Xbox One --> Vizio sound bar (HDMI Input) --> Vizio sound bar (HDMI Output)--> Samsung UHD TV (HDMI ARC port)

I can get video just fine using this connection, but NO sound. My TV settings are good to go, but I'm wondering if there is some Xbox audio setting that is the final piece to this puzzle. Currently, my "HDMI audio" is set to "5.1 uncompressed" and "Bitstream
format" is set to "DTS Digital Surround". Are these correct?

 

5.1 Uncompressed audio via HDMI connection

Can you provide an update for your situation? I tried the optical connection first and it worked fine, but hooking everything up using HDMI is not working for sound. Here's my setup...I have a UHD Samsung TV, Cisco cable box, Xbox One, and a Vizio S5451w-C2
sound bar. The Vizio sound bar has a HDMI ARC connection option. I have my connections set up as follows ALL WITH HDMI CONNECTIONS::

Cable box --> Xbox One --> Vizio sound bar (HDMI Input) --> Vizio sound bar (HDMI Output)--> Samsung UHD TV (HDMI ARC)

I can get video just fine using this connection, but NO sound. My TV settings are good to go, but I'm wondering if there is some Xbox audio setting that is the final piece to this puzzle. Currently, my "HDMI audio" is set to "5.1 uncompressed" and "Bitstream
format" is set to "DTS Digital Surround". Does anyone know if these are correct or if there is something I'm missing?

 

Hi,

I have a couple of suggestions. First I'll post the Xbox support walkthrough for connecting the One to your home theater, there is a specific section for connecting it to a sound bar:

support.xbox.com/.../connect-console-to-home-theater

I would also suggest contacting Vizio directly, I bet they get that question a lot and they probably have suggestions to help with the issue you're experiencing.

 

I'm also messing around with enhancing the console's audio output quality. console... TOSlink... DAC/amp... headphones. I agree with HammerfellChick. Go to the manufacturer's website. Good luck, eh.
