Xbox one power on tv and surround sound issues

You would actually want your hd box connected to your xbox one then your xbox one to your surround sound and then the surround sound to the tv. this way, your tv will display the picture but your surround sound will intercept the audio. the surround sound
works as and audio/video in AND out device. Your sky tv wouldn't connect to the xbox at all as far as I know, that would have to be plugged in directly to the sony surround sound and you would change the input on the surround sound rather than the tv.

Here are some cool diagrams to setup your home theater system

Will this issue ever be resolved Microsoft? To get surround sound (5.1) for live TV I may have to give up the guide and XBOX ONE and get live TV through my TV where I get 5.1 surround. This is going backward in my opinion as XBOX ONE guide is excellent.

i am having the same issue as yours, except, the sound bleeds to the other surround speaker,, on the Neflex test pattern, the sound from the left surround channel will bleed into the right surround channel and vis versa.. i have the xbox one x connected
deerfly to my surround sound receiver.

i have tried all the audio out options on the xbox, uncompressed, bitstream, dobly digital, and DTS, the surround bleed is in all the issues

This does not happen when i play the Netflix test through my Samsung smart tv

did u find any fix ?

for your second issue, i believe Samsung TVs do not pass through 5.1 surround sound from an HDMI in to an HDMI ARC out. if you put in 5.1 in HDMI in, you will only get 2 channels out of HDMI ARC. other tvs do not have this issue, but Samsungs do

After some heavy google research i think I've found a solution but would be interested on anyones thoughts.

So at the moment my audio setup is Xbox > TV > Surround Sound, but it appears this may cause the issue because most TV's dont output 5.1 surround sound so if I were to use optical audio to go xbox > surround sound, this may fix the issue...

I am pretty sure that you set it under the tv & one guide settings. Once you set up your devices, you can then control what devices that Xbox will power on. I have it set for my tv, and my cable box. My surround sound will turn on and off automatically
based on the tv status. I have my cable box going to the hdmi in on Xbox, xbox going to hdmi in 1 on my surround, and surround hdmi out to my tv.
