Xbox one x s/pdif red light

Hi

Don't worry about the red light you can see from the S-pdif port on the back of the console this is perfectly normal. The s-pdif port is and optical audio out connector on the back of the console and uses light to send sound from the console when connected
to a suitable receiver/soundbar.

Hi

It sounds like it is perfectly normal if you use
this link I think the red light you are seeing will come from Port 7 (S/PDIF) and Port 8 (Network) if you connect the console to the internet using an ethernet wire.

Hello again, the console's HDMI IN only accepts input signal, i.e. receives signals from another device.

If your console is Xbox One S or X, you have the Optical Output (S/PDIF) Out that can be connected to your Speaker if it has (S/PDIF) In.

If your console is series s or x it won't have this output.

I don't know what inputs and outputs you have in your speaker, so I don't know which connection would be best to use.

Hi Shesenough,

I moved your post to its own thread so we can tailor our support directly to you. It actually isn't a bad thing for the S/PDIF port to be showing a light orange/red light coming from it. It's normal
for the console to have this light to be showing up on the back of the console. So you shouldn't worry it won't affect your console in any bad way.

Hope this helps.
