  1. Xbox one, can I get audio from hdmi and spdif


    can I get audio out of the spdif port and hdmi simultaneousl? I use hdmi to connect the Xbox to the tv (video and audio) I also want to get audio to a gaming chair it only accepts rca inputs, so I need to buy a digital to analog convertor, but that is not
    gonna work if the Xbox does not output audio out of both ports, if it does not will a hdmi splitter work?

    :)

  2. Getting 5.1 sound to my receiver with my new Xbox 360 E console

    On upgrading from an original Xbox 360, I was very disappointed to discover that a SPDIF port is not provided in the Xbox 360 E. My television does support HDMI input, allowing me to have 720p game playback, but does not support digital audio out. Conversely,
    my receiver supports digital audio input, but not HDMI input.

    How can I get 5.1 Dolby Digital audio to my receiver? Can I use the included audio/video 1/8" cable to route 5.1 audio to the receiver? Alternatively, could I use an external HDMI to HDMI+SPDIF splitter (e.g., http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Premium-Audio-Extractor-Converter/dp/B00AHS8LD8/)
    to 5.1 audio to my receiver?

  3. Issues Connecting PC through HDMI-In on XBox One

    Kyptonite, I have a similar situation.

    I've connected my laptop to the Xbox One and I have two issues.

    1) Frozen video after a period of inactivity

    2) Only 2 channels of audio recognized by my PC through HDMI into the Xbox One.

    I know Microsoft didn't intend on us connecting PC's to the HDMI pass-through, but when it works, it is awesome. I'm running XBMC on a PC with my media and can easily switch over to the Xbox for gaming.

    As far as solutions go, I've had a little luck using different audio options. Right now I intentionally have HDMI running from my PC with NO AUDIO into the Xbox One and SPDIF running separately from my PC to my receiver. The pain for me now is that I have
    to switch between HDMI and SPDIF on my receiver if I want to play a game (HDMI from Xbox) or watch a movie (SPDIF from PC)

    I haven't had a lot of time to test this solution, but it seems as though the audio via HDMI into the Xbox is what is failing here. I could be wrong though.

    I'm running Windows 8.1 on my PC and have the latest Intel drivers for my graphics card. I can also verify that I get full 7.1 audio when connected directly to my receiver, so this is not a PC problem.

    Sure, I use both outputs: HDMI to the television and digital optical to a receiver. I usually have the TV volume all the way down, but if I turn the volume up while the receiver is on I hear sound from both.

    Using SPDIF and HDMI Simultaneously

    [quote user="Atropos0"]I'm trying to set up my Xbox to use HDMI and SPDIF at the same time. I don't want the audio to output through the HDMI, because then it just uses the monitor speakers. Is there any way to output audio through SPDIF while using HDMI?[/quote]

    Turn the volume on the monitor to 0, as I do with my TV if I'm using the optical audio being output to my receiver. You can't disable the HDMI audio.

    Connecting Turtle Beach x12 to ASUS monitor on Xbox One?

    What model of Asus monitor. If you're TV/monitor doesn't support HDMI and have an audio out port them you'll have to get the audio from the SPDIF port on the back of the Xbox One. Not quite sure what you would use to convert optical audio signal into an
    rca format... I would check over at the avsforum.com
