  1. Xbox Series S doesn't allow audio passthrough on Netflix and YouTube app


    Hello,

    When Xbox Series S audio is set to output uncompressed stereo with Passthrough enabled, Netflix and YouTube apps output uncompressed stereo instead of Dolby digital plus such as Disney+ or Prime Video apps.

    When Xbox Series S audio is set to output dolby digital with Passthrough enabled, Netflix and YouTube apps output dolby digital instead of Dolby digital plus such as Disney+ or Prime Video apps.

    Is there any plan to fix this issue ?

    :)

    Because you set it to ilincompressed stereo with pastors, so it's doing internal decoding. and folding down to stereo before sending PCM out

    You need to set it to Dolby and pass through. Dolby digital plus is just DD with the bandwidth cap raised to 640kbps instead of 448

    The xbox is not doing internal decoding on Dinsey+ and Prime video apps, since it's sending undecoded DD+ to the amp.

    When the Xbox is set to send Dolby Digital w/ passthrough enabled as you suggest, amp gets Xbox DD decoded audio stream from Netflix instead of getting DD+ Netflix native audio stream. same issue on YT, except for 5.1 content, which results for the amp in getting DD+ native audio stream from YT.

    Hope this is more clear.

    Xbox Series S Audio Passthrough is still broken and it doesn't work for Netflix.

    Geri,

    I have the same issue on my Xbox Series X. Audio passthrough works perfectly fine with Disney+, Amazon Prime and Plex. When it comes to Netflix, it doesn't activate passthrough creating audio problems while playing Atmos content. The titles display Dolby Atmos, but there is no voice, only background music and sounds are played.

    Series X Audio Passthrough still not working

    Having the same issue. On my Series X and S yhe Passthrough will be checked but it does not bitstream the content that it reads. Disney+ Max and Netflix do not pass the audio to my receiver. Stuck with PCM no Dolby Digital passthrough! Been looking for a solution for 3 months now!!

    Series X Audio Passthrough still not working

    I'm still having all of the same issues. It's getting really irritating now as nothing has been resolved.

    The only app which uses the Audio Passthrough is the 'TV and Films'. When I watch any of the films or the trailers, it always shows 'Passthrough' when you press the xbox button on the controller during playback.

    However, the volume levels are inconsistent. John Wick 4 sounded really good but only after turning up the volume by 10Db. The new Dune film was a mess as the voices totally overpowered all of the music.

    I have the continuing issue like 'David Allen8' and many other people who have posted numerous times on this forum.

    The Netflix, Disney+ and Youtube apps are not using the Audio Passthrough. The word 'Passthrough' is never displayed. Their audio is still being post processed by the xbox and it's a pain in the ****. I know this is happening as I can set the xbox to DTS and the Netflix 5.1 soundtrack is converted from the DD format - because the AV receiver is showing as DTS.

    Considering how long the Audio Passthrough has been added by Microsoft, they might have been able to sort it out by now.

    Thank you.
