    Xbox One Won't Play Through Surround Speakers


    It should not be this complicated to get a gaming console to play through the surround speakers. I have tried every possible combination of wiring to get my surround sound to play the Xbox One. I've tried going from Xbox to TV with HDMI and Xbox to surround
    with HDMI. My surround receiver doesn't have an HDMI audio in, just video in and out, so maybe that's a problem. I've also tried going from Xbox to TV and then TV to surround with HDMI. That setup works for the old Wii, for crying out loud, except it's with
    a red/white component cable from TV to surround. I feel like my surround should play whatever is plugged into my TV, but it won't play the Xbox One. I've also tried from TV to Xbox with HDMI and Xbox to surround with an optical cable. I am using a converter
    because my optical port on the surround appears to be dead since it's not emitting a red light. I've also tried Xbox to TV with HDMI and then optical from TV to surround using the converter. I've also tinkered with the Xbox audio settings. I've turned surround
    on in the settings and changed the audio to optical bitstream and I've tried DTS and Dolby. I've tried turning off the HDMI audio, but then I don't even get audio from the TV. I've got a JVC home theater system that supports DTS and Dolby, but please don't
    mistake me for an expert; I have no idea of the difference. The surround system has HDMI Monitor Out and Video In, but not Audio HDMI. My TV is a JVC, but it's 8 years old with only 2 HDMI inputs. It also has an optical out port. The Xbox One is far from the
    *one* system to meet all our living room needs. Don't get me wrong; we love gaming on the Xbox, but we want to game in surround. We want to watch Netflix, Amazon, etc in surround. Why is it so complicated? Please help!

    :)

    Audio thru a speaker

    To clarify:

    You have a new laptop with built-in speakers

    You have a set of external speakers which are plugged into the laptop

    The audio won't play through the external speakers and is only being played through the laptop speakers

    Correct?

    Simulated Atmos from XBOX One S?

    No, the Xbox One S does not simulate ATMOS from a 5.1 source.

    However, since the Xbox One can run multiple sound applications at any given time (for example you run an Atmos enabled game, while having a music app running in the background), the console will ALWAYS output an ATMOS signal to your receiver, since the
    game sound is in spatial surround.

    Into that ATMOS spatial surround sound track, the stereo music track will be mixed in. But since the music track does not have surround or height information in it's stereo signal, you won't get the music in ATMOS spatial surround, even if your receiver
    shows ATMOS coming in.

    If you watch a 5.1 video in VUDU, the Xbox will distribute the 5.1 sound information to the front, center, back surround and subwoofer channels for the ATMOS signal, and your ceiling speakers for example won't get sound.

    So even if your receiver shows ATMOS, and you have twenty speakers mounted in your home cinema, only the standard 5.1 speakers will produce sound, if you watch a 5.1 sound source.

    Dts x

    You should set it to let your receiver decide. Dtsx is an extension that is added in to the DTS-HD stream and the only way you will get that to your speaker /receiver is to let it pass through in the BluRay settings.
    Thanks for your help. Put the soundbar on stereo or surround. There is no back speakers. So it will simulate surround. That's on the xbox options.

    My XBOX One Doesnt Want to Install The Audio and I have Tried All the Options Available, I dont know What Am I doing wrong :/

    Are you by chance using a surround sound head unit or sound bar for audio instead of the TV's internal speakers? Also, are you trying to utilize a headset brand like Turtle Beaches or simply trying to get the audio to play through the television's speakers?

    Will you buy a headset?

    I hope Madcatz/Tritton release a Warhead Set compatible with the Xbox One with in the first year.

    I'm setting up a surround speaker setup, but when I play in the morning or late at night, a good set of surround sound cans will suffice.
