Xbox One and HDMI switch

AdamBerlin1 · Apr 13, 2022

Hello everyone,

I currently have an XBOX One that is hooked up through a projector, but I want to also hook it up through my TV as well. I bought an HDMI switch box, but it doesn't appear to work. Any thoughts on how to set this up so it can work on both?

I had the same problem with my switch box at launch. what I wound up doing is: Since my Reciever has 4 hdmi ports, I put the xbox one directly into one of the receiver hdmi's. I hooked my hdmi switch box up to hdmi 4 on the receiver and hooked up my ps4,
ps3, and wii u to the auto switch. 8 hdmi ports is enough for me (barely).

Best choice is to swing all inputs over to a dedicated HDMI switch, then take the HDMI output from the switch and feed it through the Xbox One and then on to one of the receiver inputs. That allows the Xbox One to mix all the audio from whatever second source
you want to overlay the Xbox One on top of. This won't help with non-HDMI sources that you want to funnel through the Xbox One, though.

Likely yes you can, you can get a 1 in 2 out HDMI box on Amazon. They're not terribly expensive. Keep in mind there might be other issues with doing this. I can't guarantee it'll work. IF it doesn't try one that's powered

Or what would be my best option to go from my Xbox one to two monitors. I'll only be using one monitor at a time. I'll be using my big screen for movies and split screening and my small monitor for serious gaming. Should I just get a reciever or look
for a y cable or Hdmi switch/splitter? I also want to keep quality in mind because I do not want to sacrifice quality.
