xbox one optical audio DTS setting sounds distorted

OddByte · Jan 1, 2014

I have connected my Panasonic TV through hdmi cable and my JVC RX-8000V Audio/Video receiver is connected through the audio cable. I am using the same input that I had a dvd connected to; the dvd player worked fine. When I select Uncompressed Stereo for
the optical output, all sounds fine. When I select DTS Digital Surround the sound is distorted.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Need to Hook X Box One Up to Speakers

Run a separate Optical cable from the Xbox One to your Home Cinema Amps optical input and select DTS audio from the Xbox Ones setting for audio. You do have a home Cinema amp and surround sound speakers that supports DTS I take it?

How can i get sound ? with my monitor ?

I'm assuming you hooked it up according to the instructions and charged it up (I think that one is wireless). You have to enable the digital audio out on the Xbox. Settings>display & sound and turn on the optical audio to DTS Digital Surround. Mine is defaulted to off. Hope this works.

Hey there Pendragon!

To start off, let's try simplifying your setup. I suggest connecting your Xbox One console directly to your TV via HDMI cable (not connected through a receiver). Once you've done that, let us know if the sound is still distorted.

We'll be standing by to hear back from you! ^_^

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. As I stated in the post, my TV is connected via the HDMI cable.

Stereo works fine through the tv or the receiver. Apparently my $2500 Panasonic TV can only accommodate stereo. When I select DTS, or anything other than stereo, Xbox tells me that the TV can't handle it.

First, try going to Settings > Display and Sound > In the middle, change the "HDMI Audio" setting to '5.1 uncompressed'.

If you still can't get 5.1 audio to your sound system, try buying an optical audio cable and plug that from the back of your xbox one into your sound system and change the settings on your sound system to use the 'Optical In' or a setting that chooses that
input. Don't forget to change the settings like the one above, but under "Optical Audio" choose "Bitstream Out" and change "Bitstream Format" to "DTS Digital Surround." The optical audio port is right between the HDMI in and out ports.

I have the same sound bar. If you hook the sound bar up straight to the xbox one with a digital optical audio cable and not your tv the DTS on the sound bar will work. Works with games, blu-rays and my comcast cable hd channels that support 5.1. The DTS
light on the vizio sound bar Wil light up when you turn on it on and when you change input on the sound bar and shortly turn off indicting it's working. These are my settings, HDMI audio off. Optical audio DTS Digital Surround. And under tv & one guide settings,
click troublshooting, I have surround sound (beta) checked. Only thing I don't know if DTS or Dolby digital is better. With the march update I will have the option to choose DTS or Dolby digital that the vizio 5.1 sound bar does support.
